Earlier this month Ballkick announced they would be heading out on tour once again in the new year for their Metallic Taste of Betrayal but this time, Volume 2!

Ballkick are a metallic hardcore band that features musicians from both Poland and the UK. With euro hardcore at it’s core you can expect a lot of limbs flying around at their shows.

So if you don’t know these guys, get to know!

This tour follows on from their original release tour back in September and October for their album Metallic Taste of Betrayal which was released on September 10th through their label Upstate Records Euro Division.

Ballkick have been making waves in the UK scene lately and on top of this they have been smashing it over the water in Europe. Hitting up places including the likes of the UK, Poland, Czechia, Austria & Germany to name a few on their release tour a couple of months ago.

Their album is currently available to order through their bigcartel in the UK, Upstate Records Europe and at the iconic Coretex Records in Berlin.

If you want to get your hands on some of their merch or pick up a physical copy of their album, follow the link to their webstore here.

Ballkick will be making their way to a number of spots across Europe next year including a couple of UK shows; in Bristol and London’s The Dev, Camden. This is where they will be supported by Dosed and Teeside hardcore guys Prozpekt.

A show I’m looking forward to catching on the 7th February, so get at it!
