Trivium announce Deadmen And Dragons U.S. tour

Trivium have announced the Deadmen And Dragons U.S. tour with Between The Buried And Me, Whitechapel and Khemmis.

This awesome bill of heavy bands will hit the States from October 2 through to November 10, with frontman Matt Heafy enthusing of his tourmates: "Between The Buried And Me are the pioneers of mixing genres well before anyone else had. BTBAM back in 2002 – on the impeccable self-titled album – showed that they were unapologetically ready to mix elements of death metal, melodic death metal, grindcore, power metal, prog, ethereal – at times beautiful – passages of melody. Their self-titled record was a massive influence on me; I was captivated by the immense mixture of so many styles. Through their combining of a vast range of sonics and soundscapes, they created a sound that is truly their own."

Adds guitarist Corey Beaulieu: "We're excited to have Whitechapel be a part of this amazing bill. It's been over 10 years since we toured together on the Shogun tour and seeing how the band has progressed over the years and added a killer melodic element to their brutal sound just makes it a perfect time to share the stage once again."

And then bassist Paolo has this to share about one of his "favourite new bands of the last few years", Khemmis: "When we were putting the tour together, I heavily advocated for having them on the bill. I think it's always a testament to a band's sound when you have trouble pinning a label to it – doom, melodic metal, thrash, death metal. With Khemmis, it's all in there and rocks hard. They are a 10/10 live band and did a great cover of Rainbow In The Dark, so do not miss their set!"
