Richmond, Virginia, thrash metal/core warriors LAMB OF GOD have announced a spring/early summer 2013 U.S. tour with Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED, TERROR and ACACIA STRAIN.
LAMB OF GOD unleashed RESOLUTION 1/24/2012 via ROADRUNNER/EPIC RECORDS.
DECAPITATED unleashed "Carnival Is Forever" 7/12/2011 and 7/15/2011 on NUCLEAR BLAST.
FROM DECAPITATED:
As you probably know we were forced to cancel our scheduled US tour with Cradle of Filth this winter. We had already booked the flights, we had our visa issued etc and were ready to go and then everything got canceled. We have now managed to confirm a full blown tour as the main support act for another great band across the states this summer. This will be a great opportunity for us to make up for the Cradle of Filth cancellation. We are not allowed to drop the name of the headline act yet but we are excited and we cannot wait to break the news at the end of this month. We will therefore not be able to perform at Extremefest, Burning Sea and Chronical Moshers in Europe as the dates overlap. We would like to apologize to all fans who had been looking forward to seeing us at these festivals and we hope we will be able to re-schedule these shows for next year!
In support of their latest studio album, Carnival Is Forever, Polish technical death metal band DECAPITATED will return to the U.S. this May as direct support for extreme modern metal headliners Lamb Of God. The tour bill includes Terror and The Acacia Strain.
DECAPITATED guitarist/founding member Vogg checks in about the upcoming 28-show trek, which launches on May 16th at The Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina:
“We had a chance to play with Lamb of God in Poland but never expected to play with them and Terror in a full blown tour in the U.S., especially as a direct support!!! This will be the best tour of the year, especially since we will be able to play in places we have never played before… and it’s a chance to congratulate Randy [Blythe] on his victory, so join us during this tour and let's have a blast!”
Tour dates with Lamb of God, DECAPITATED, Terror (through June 10th) and The Acacia Strain (remaining shows) are:
