The gear is packed, the wheels will soon be rolling on the band wagon, and rest stops along Interstate 44 East & Interstate 55 North are bracing themselves because Oklahoma natives ANTI-MORTEM are replacing scheduled openers Zodiac on MONSTER MAGNET’s soon-to-launch headlining North American tour, which also features ROYAL THUNDER as direct support.
"We're more than ecstatic to be going on tour with the space lords from MONSTER MAGNET,” states ANTI-MORTEM frontman Larado Romo. “Come check us out. We’ll be at a town near you bringing some much needed bad-ass hard rock."

Formed in 2008 with over 300 shows to their name, these Chickasha, Oklahoma natives (aged between 18 & 22) spent their formative nights and weekends woodshedding their sound on the concert stage they built themselves in the Smith family barn (originally intended to store an old car collection). While guitarist Zain Smith’s parents were away working on the weekends, ANTI-MORTEM would turn their barn rehearsal space into a makeshift venue and hone their chops by inviting friends and family in Chickasha over for an afternoon of gravel-throated vocals, crunch-laden riffs, thick grooves, and some good ol’-fashioned Southern hospitality.
ANTI-MORTEM are:
Larado Romo – lead vocals
Nevada Romo – guitar
Zain Smith – guitar
Corey Henderson – bass
Levi Dickerson - drums
