I've spoken of my love of Agalloch in the past, it's a band that everybody here at Metal Injection can agree about. And now, we can see them live in our backyard. Well, not literally…that would be awesome. The band has announced a month's worth of dates all through the US, hitting major markets like New York, Chicago, Austin, Atlanta and many others. If you need some stimulants to get you through your pot brownie trip, align your intake to this itinerary: (more…)

SUFFOCATION and ORIGIN Announce European Tour

Suffocation - Promo

First off, I just want to point out that all our metal head lads from across the pond seem to get way cooler tours than North America. Now that the bitching is over, for all those lucky enough to be living in Europe, Suffocation and Origin have announced dates for an upcoming European tour, dubbed The End of Humanity. The show looks sick and makes me wish I had a few thousand dollars and some vacation days tucked in my back pocket.  (more…)

Wowowowowowow!

Scream It Like You Mean It Tour Officially Has Most Confusing Routing Ever

Scream_It_Like_You_Mean_It_2012_tour_dates-1

In all my years of writing about music (damn, it's almost a decade now..) never have I come across a tour routing as confusing as the Scream It Like You Mean It Tour. It's actually two (or maybe three) tours that run separately at some points and then intersect at others for mega-shows. I think? It's sort of three different tours, the two singular tours and then the third, combined Voltron tour. I am a fan of some of the bands on the tour like The Acacia Strain and The Chariot, and then not so crazy about others like Attack Attack! and Impending Doom. But despite my feelings, here is the really confusing tour routing: (more…)
