Decibel Magazine, the only monthly heavy metal publication in North America does not fuck around when it comes to its annual tour. There has not been one iteration of the tour that has been disappointing. Previous years have seen bands like Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Carcass, The Black Dahlia Murder and others take the stage for what was always a fun time.
Next year's affair, which was announced this past weekend at the Decibel Magazine 10th anniversary shows will prove to be no different. dB has confirmed At The Gates will be coming back to the States for a proper tour and taking Converge, Vallenfyre and one more act to be announced for the next, killer iteration of the festival.
This will be At the Gates' first shows back since their reunion tour a few years ago and my body is definitely ready.

March 27 @The Wiltern, Los Angeles, CA
March 28 @The Regency Ballroom, San Francisco, CA
March 29 @Roseland Theater, Portland, OR
