2018 is turning out to be an incredible year for South African sludge n rollers Ruff Majik. With two European tours booked that will see them playing Freak Valley Festival and SonicBlast as well as a host of club shows.

They also released their debut full-length album "Seasons" out now to widespread critical acclaim. The guys are happy to announce that they have signed deals with US label Forbidden Place Records to release and distribute Seasons on CD and cassette, while German label Rock Freaks Records will be releasing three versions of the double LP: classic black, coloured (still a secret) and die-hard (very limited).

Vocalist and guitarist Johni Holiday commented on the news "Ruff Majik is immensely excited to take the next step in furthering our career by bringing out physical copies. With the backing of Rock Freaks and Forbidden Place, we’re making a lifelong dream come true!"

Pretoria’s riff wizard’s  Ruff Majik have released their new single titled "Come All Ye Druids". The track is taken from their full length album called "Seasons", which is set for release on the April 20th 2018.

"With this release, Ruff Majik decided to set sail into newer, sludgier directions. We decided long ago that we wouldn't be that band that people would complain about, saying "they used to be heavier". Hell no, every time we bring out new music we want to move forward, become heavier, more intense. We still like to include bluesy bits, sure. But this song is made to be filthy, heavy, oily sludge 'n roll. Next time we might do something a bit more doom again, who knows hahaha. All I know is that right now, Ruff Majik is becoming a groove machine, and we like it." says band member Johni Holiday.

The band will embark on their first European tour in June of 2018 which sees them play the Freak Valley Festival in Germany along with a host of club shows supporting the likes of Colour Haze, My Sleeping Karma and The Devil and the Almighty Blues. They' ll be back in Europe in August to play SonicBlast in Portugal.
