The Obelisk Features Thunderchief on ‘DIY or Die Trying’ Tour
Richmond, VA – Richmond-based duo Thunderchief are back on tour with their DIY or Die Trying run, following earlier shows with Temptress. The tour embodies the true DIY spirit of the metal scene, as the band navigates the challenges of booking and performing under their own steam.
The Obelisk writes: “Next week they’re hitting it once more on a tour they’ve dubbed ‘DIY or Die Trying,’ with a heavy truth underlying the tongue-in-cheek phrase. Booking a tour like this isn’t easy for anyone, and Thunderchief are making it happen.”

Formed in 2006 by guitarist/vocalist Rik Surly , the band has evolved into an unstoppable two-man demolition unit with the addition of drummer Erik Larson , a key figure in underground heavy music. Larson’s legendary résumé includes Alabama Thunderpussy , Avail , Birds of Prey , Satan’s Satyrs , Morne , and Parasytic , bringing decades of punk, sludge, and metal fury to the THUNDERCHIEF machine.
