This year marks the 25th anniversary of Florida death metal legends CANNIBAL CORPSE whom shall unleash a special boxed set 3/16/2013 on METAL BLADE RECORDS.
FROM DECIBEL MAGAZINE:
After a bloody successful maiden voyage in 2012, Decibel Magazine is doubling down on veteran star power for our second annual national tour. This spring, the plague spreads as we bring you three living legends of death metal and grindcore: preeminent gore institution Cannibal Corpse; rabble-rousing U.K. grind icons Napalm Death, and NYDM stalwarts Immolation.
While occultism permeated last spring’s inaugural dB tour-featuring exclusively European headliners in Behemoth, Watain, the Devil’s Blood and In Solitude-we looked (mostly) to North America for this year’s unholy assemblage. Three of our favorite underground powerhouses will take on this year’s rotating opening slot: demented Bay Area death-grinders Cretin, Canadian tech-prog upstarts Beyond Creation and Beltway grind/powerviolence crushers Magrudergrind. And the time is ripe to see the new bleed into the old: three of the six artists performing are expected to have new records detonating during the tour.
Kicking off in May, this year’s gauntlet will last a full week longer than its 2012 counterpart, spanning over 30 North American dates. Presented by Metal Blade,Indiemerchstore.com, Nuclear Blast, Lace Pickups, Century Media and Season of Mist, the 2013 Decibel Magazine Tour will bring together the kind of globally-renowned, boundary-pushing innovators that have made it possible for our magazine to continue thriving for over 100 issues. Coming off a tour noted for Behemoth frontman Nergal’s triumphant return to the States following his battle with leukemia – which culminated in an explosive sold-out closing gig in New York City — we had no choice but to go bigger and even more badass.
“We’re psyched to be headlining this year’s Decibel Magazine Tour along with Immolation and Napalm Death,” says Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster. “This is a lineup of bands that have been a consistent part of the death/grind scene for decades, and we’re proud to be a part of it. It will be a legendary night for extreme music.”
“Do you remember the Blue Grape Merchandise catalog?” asks Decibel Editor in Chief Albert Mudrian. “How about the Hard N’ Heavy Grindcore Video Special? Or purchasing CDs in longboxes? Then this year’s Decibel Magazine Tour was assembled for you. See you on the campaign trail for musical destruction.”
“We are really excited to be getting back to the States!” enthuses Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury. “We are fired up to be sharing the stage with Immolation and Cannibal Corpse-great friends of ours from way back, and awesome bands! Also, finally, for us it’s brilliant that this is a Decibel tour, a magazine that’s shown us great support over the years. That makes it an honor for us to be part of this package, and something very close to our hearts. It’s going to be a fun tour for sure! Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Totally chuffed, too, that Albert’s agreed to do some backing vocals on ‘The Kill’ with us! Yes, come on!”
Psyched and/or chuffed yourself? Well, here’s an early opportunity to score a great deal AND avoid standing in line. Twenty premium packages are available in each market that include your ticket to the show, a tour T-shirt, a tour poster, a super-exclusive “Skip the Line” pass to move you to the front when doors open, one free track, “Scourge of Iron” from the forthcoming Cannibal Corpse box set, Dead Human Collection: 25 Years of Death Metal (3/19), and one 10% off coupon for a purchase on Indiemerchstore.com. The price of this package is less than you would spend on a ticket and a tour shirt at the show! More details, including ticket info, will be announced at www.decibelmagazinetour.com
