Seminal New York hardcore veterans AGNOSTIC FRONT have announced their 35th-anniversary tour in support of their latest album, 2015's "The American Dream Died". AGNOSTIC FRONT changed the face of music throughout its 35-year long career and was partially responsible for the creation of the hardcore genre itself.

From the start, AGNOSTIC FRONT released a catalogue of fast and violent punk tunes consisting of distinctive and aggressive drumming, fuming guitars, overdriven bass work, and a non-stop barrage of chaotic shouting. With its eleventh studio album, "The American Dream Died", the band perhaps made its most aggressive album in recent years.
