Onanizer (CZE) Aotearoa New Zealand Shows Announced For March

Press release:

After a 15-year hiatus, the Czech grindcore maniacs ONANIZER are bringing their pulverizing, blast-driven chaos back to Australia this summer- and for the first time ever, they’re descending upon New Zealand for an all-out sonic assault! Get ready for 21 ear-splitting, bone-crushing shows that will leave you in total devastation.

Formed in 1996, ONANIZER has relentlessly carved out its own path in the world of grindcore, infusing their unrelenting blast fury with a dash of powerviolence battery. With a long history of explosive releases, including brutal splits with grind legends like Archagathus, Joe Pesci, and Rageous Intent, they’ve built a reputation as a formidable live force. Their tours across Europe and two crazy trips to South America have only amplified their formidable live performance.

This tour promises to be no different. Prepare yourself for the full-on blitz of earth-shaking blast beats, ferocious growls, and guitar shredding that will leave no ear unscathed. Whether you’re in the heart of Australia or in the raw intensity of New Zealand’s underground scene, ONANIZER’S Grindcore Devastation Tour is guaranteed to be one of the most unforgettable grind experiences of the year!
