FROM LAMB OF GOD:
LAMB OF GOD Partners with Killswitch Engage, Testament andHuntress for Final North American Resolution Shows
LAMB OF GOD will end the North American portion of the Resolution record cycle beginning October 22nd with 28 U.S. and Canadian shows. Joining LAMB OF GOD on these dates will be long-time friends Killswitch Engage. Support for all shows will be provided by Testament and Huntress. The tour will include a coast to coast visit to all major Canadian cities which will be LAMB OF GOD’s first visit to Canada on this cycle other than a festival play in June in Montebello and a show in Toronto in January 2012. In the last year, both Ashes of the Wake and Sacrament have been certified gold in Canada. LAMB OF GOD will finish the Resolution cycle completely with a visit to Europe and South Africa in January 2014. Details on that tour will be released late August.
FROM TESTAMENT:
It’s been a year since TESTAMENT’s Dark Roots Of Earth debuted at #12 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and marked the highest U.S. first week sales ever for a Nuclear Blast artist. Since then, these Bay Area thrash metal legends have shown absolutely no signs of slowing down.
This fall, TESTAMENT will be direct support on the upcoming not-to-be-missed Lamb Of God and Killswitch Engage co-headlining tour through North America, which launches on Tuesday, October 22nd in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
“Been wanting to tour with Lamb Of God for a long time now,” shares TESTAMENT frontman Chuck Billy, “and with Killswitch also on the bill, how can this tour be anything but killer?”
Lamb Of God will be supporting 2012’s Resolution; Killswitch Engage is out promoting their latest, Disarm The Descent. California occult rockers Huntress will be opening all 28 shows. Ticket prices have been kept as low as possible to assure fans can come out during the holiday season.
Advanced tickets go on sale this Friday & Saturday, July 19th & 20th. A limited number of TESTAMENT V.I.P. packages will be available for each show, which include:
· A souvenir TESTAMENT V.I.P. Laminate
· A TESTAMENT poster
· An 8”x 10” photo of the band
· A coupon for discounted online merchandise
· Individual photo opportunities with band members
· A group photo with the entire V.I.P. group and TESTAMENT members
In addition, each V.I.P. purchaser will be entered into a raffle to win Chuck Billy's stage vest worn throughout this tour. The winner of the vest will be personally contacted by Chuck and will also receive two (2) tickets to the next local TESTAMENT show with passes to come backstage and more!
