Los Angeles rock band 96 Bitter Beings has announced a massive tour of North America in support of their critically lauded new album, Synergy Restored, that’s available now from Nuclear Blast Records. In addition to performing songs from the new record, revered vocalist/guitarist Deron Miller (former songwriter and vocalist for CKY) and band will be playing CKY’s acclaimed album Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild in its entirety. Tour kicks off August 4th in Eugene, OR.Commenting on the tour, Miller states: “I can’t wait to go back out and play through the entire Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild album. That part of my life is so precious to me. I never thought that album was the peak of any band’s creativity, but it was the peak of our ability to take advantage of the mainstream shot we were given. Bookended by the new album Synergy Restored. All amazing songs. It’s the soundtrack to the lives of my favorite people. The fans.”

Years in the making, 96 Bitter Beings‘ Synergy Restored is 11 songs of relentless power and vibe. Four-on-the-floor, fuzzy and visceral, proper rock ‘n’ roll made by an actual band, rather than a bunch of over-processed samples and otherwise stale shenanigans. Songs like “Vaudeville’s Revenge,” “90 Car Pile-Up,” and “Wish Me Dead” offer vivid reminders of the truth-telling prowess of guitars, bass, and drums. Miller is on fire, weaponizing the same knack for memorable musical epiphanies behind projects like Foreign Objects, World Under Blood, and CKY.

About 96 Bitter Beings:
Deron Miller gives his life to the riff. Unrestrained by industry expectations and genre limitations, the boundlessly prolific guitarist and voice behind multiple beloved projects is best known as the founder, frontman, and songwriter in CKY. His authentic and effortlessly hooky heavy rock obsession returns with 96 Bitter Beings. Reinvigorated and ready to rumble all over again, Miller roars back with the same reverence for riffage that made underground hits out of CKY anthems like “Flesh Into Gear,” “Escape from Hellview,” and “Disengage the Simulator” from 1998 until 2011. The familiar warmth, feel, groove, and unapologetic honesty which drove the song “96 Quite Bitter Beings” to 54 million streams (on Spotify alone) permeates the pair of albums unleashed by 96BB. A successful crowdfunding campaign saw Miller, guitarist Kenneth Hunter, bassist Shaun Luera, and Shaun’s brother, drummer Tim, conjure up 2018’s Camp Pain in limited release. North American touring followed, wrapping up shortly before the COVID-19 shutdowns. “After CKY and a short break, I decided to continue, without changing the sound,” Miller explains. “Because that’s what I do. It’s what I love to do, and what people say I do well. All of the guys who got in the band with me are great musicians. And each of them is hungry. They have priorities and ambitions about being in a rock band, no matter the grim state of pop music out there. If we can bring rock and metal back to the mainstream, in some way, that’s the dream.”
