Philadelphia's metallic hardcore outfit JESUS PIECE kicks off a run of West Coast North American dates on January 22, 2019 in support their vicious debut LP "Only Self," which saw release through Southern Lord last August.
JESUS PIECE recorded Only Self at Bricktop Recording Studio in Chicago with Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos, Like Rats, Dead In The Dirt), after which the album was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Integrity, Nails, Xibalba) and completed with artwork by Dom Pabon.
The album has ranked with the year's heaviest hardcore releases and is now appearing on year-end lists abroad, including being crowned the #1 hardcore album of 2018 by Stereogum.
JESUS PIECE has toured mercilessly alongside Darkest Hour, Comeback Kid, Burn, Knocked Loose, Terror, Vein, Year Of The Knife, and many more across North America, Europe, and Japan this year.

JESUS PIECE is quickly developing a reputation as one of the heaviest, most uncompromising acts both on record and on the stage.

With crushing, modern production, the eleven new tracks on their Only Self debut LP place JESUS PIECE among the scene's darkest and heaviest acts and delivers one of the most anxiously-awaited albums of the hardcore/metal underground this year.
