New York thrash icons Anthrax have revealed a co-headlining North American tour with Massachusetts metalcore pioneers Killswitch Engage. Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante commented:
“Anthrax and Killswitch will be a really good blend for fans. We both play metal, but we play two different forms of the genre. I think fans of both bands are in for a ‘Total Explosion of the Senses.'”
Bassist Frank Bello offers:
“This Anthrax/KsE tour is a powerful ball of energy ready to unleash the metal in the U.S.”
Guitarist Scott Ian adds:
“Anthrax and Killswitch – KillThrax! Holy crap! I am so excited about these upcoming shows with our old friends Killswitch Engage. Get out your pit pants and start stretching now for all the glorious action and fun!”
Supporting the pair on the spring trek – christened The Killthrax Tour – will be The Devil Wears Prada. Tickets go on sale this Friday, December 16th at 10:00 A.M. local time. Visit Anthrax.com, KillswitchEngage.com, or TDWPband.com for details regarding ticket purchasing and pre-sales.
