Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
An unbarricaded headlining performance by Knocked Loose is scheduled for June 27 at Albert Hall in Manchester, UK, as per theprp. They will be the main act at the “Outbreak” festival aftershow, which opens at 12:30 a.m. The show begins with Lip Critic. The second part of Knocked Loose‘s summer tour documentary, “Wherever We May Roam,” which has been documenting their continuing European/UK tour, was also recently released. During that run, for progressive French metal innovators Gojira and Metallica, the reigning titans of thrash metal, they were given a coveted seat opening.
This web series’ most recent episode highlights another hurdle the band has had during that run: guitarist Isaac Hale being struck by a car at a crosswalk. The first episode depicts frontman Bryan Garris’ surprise diagnosis of Bell’s palsy. Both have decided to give the tour their all. Speaking of Garris, he provided an update on his health in the most recent episode. Here are his thoughts.
Hello, Bell’s Palsy update, we are on two and a half to three weeks since the diagnosis from the first video. I just want to say thank you to everybody that reached out with their concern. I’m doing fine. I’m experiencing no pain, just a lot of discomfort. Since the video, it did get a little bit worse. I got to a point where my left eye was no longer blinking at all, and when I would try to smile, the left side of my mouth was just completely closed — fully stiff — which was difficult.
But since then it has actually gotten better. I woke up today feeling better than I have since the diagnosis. So I’m regaining some movement here… So yeah, hopefully this means we’re on the road to recovery. I’ve been getting acupuncture, been hitting the sauna — apparently the heat is good for the for the circulation of blood. So, thanks for everybody that was worried about me. We’re doing good.”
