TOUR: Obituary + Goatwhore, and more

Us metalheads, we love shows. Especially ones with a solid lineup featuring several kickass bands. Well here's a tour hitting the US (and Canada!) this September, headlined by the death metal legends Obituary.

Support comes from Goatwhore, a black metal band gaining a huge following in the wake of their excellent album Carving Out the Eyes of God; Krisiun, a Brazilian band who've been cranking death metal since 1990; The Berzerker, the only awful act on this tour; and Warbringer, a neo-thrash band whose relentless touring is gaining them exposure to all sorts of different metal crowds. Obituary will hopefully be showcasing a bunch of tunes from their 2009 opus Darkest Day, as well as classics such as "Don't Care" and "Slowly We Rot" from their impressive 8 album discography.

  2. Yeah, you'd best be going! Warbringer and Goatwhore are excellent live. Supposedly, Obituary puts on a great show too, and their new album shreds.

  3. But what if I want to see Killswitch on the 15th of Sept instead? :O

  4. Then you can either 1) Go to both and be a fag for seeing Killswitch Engage 2) Skip the Killswitch Engage concert and retain your heterosexuality.

    This concert is a must. Warbringer puts on a killer show, and their members are awesome to their fans. Goatwhore is great live, and Krisiun has some divine albums, so I can't wait to see what they do on stage.
