Phil Anselmo & the Illegals, is set to release its first album, ‘Walk Through Exits Only,’ on July 16 via Anselmo’s own label, Housecore Records. Anselmo released the disc’s first single, ‘Usurper Bastard’s Rant,’ on May 13, and now you’ll be able to check out the new material live and in person.

“It is an incredible pleasure to do my first solo tour with my brothers in Warbeast and to introduce the mighty Author and Punisher to the Exrteme Music audience properly,” says Anselmo in a press release.  ”This is a killer program of insane variety, so come out and support the gigs!!!!”

During our 2013 Revolver Golden Gods interview with Phil Anselmo, he spoke about his new ‘Illegals’ offering. “I wanted to do something very extreme to a certain degree,” begins Anselmo, For me it’s also three years old now, so it’s like damn, I’ve been sitting on this thing forever.
