LAMB OF GOD, AS I LAY DYING, CHILDREN OF BODOM To Team Up For North American Tour - Jan. 15, 2009

[metalrulz4life]

Fresh off of their West Coast run with METALLICA and upcoming visits to Finland, U.K., Ireland, Australia, Japan, and Indonesia, Richmond, Virginia metallers LAMB OF GOD have teamed up with No Fear Energy for the North American tour in support of their fifth studio album, "Wrath", which will be released in North America by Epic Records on February 24 (the CD will be issued in other territories through Roadrunner Records). The tour commences in Phoenix, Arizona on April 2 and covers 35 markets in the US and Canada, ending in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on May 15.

"No Fear Energy is excited to be working with LAMB OF GOD, Live Nation and the solid lineup of support bands for this upcoming tour," says No Fear's Vice President Of Marketing, Britt Galland. "The music on this tour fits perfectly into the no-holds-barred lifestyle of those who buy No Fear Energy drinks and gravitate toward the action-sports properties associated with the No Fear brand image. We're anticipating another popular metal tour, along with some unique product promotions and contests."

LAMB OF GOD has put together one of the strongest bills to come out of the metal community in recent times. AS I LAY DYING and CHILDREN OF BODOM are the main support acts on the tour, with the opening slot rotating between GOD FORBID and MUNICIPAL WASTE. LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler comments: "I cannot wait to begin the first North American run of the 'Wrath' world tour. The package we have lined up is guaranteed to leave sore necks and broken eardrums across the country. If you are into metal, there is something here for everyone, this is not a tour to miss. We are working up one hell of a show and can't wait to play the new material."

I still say that that is one hilarious joke.

[Metal_Musick]

[Lieutenant_Sheepz]

And again I will say Children of Bodom would be the only reason for me going so no thanks

[lingeringnightmare]

[democrat]

Meh, I'd just be there to see Bodom- gonna pass.

[Lupin]

Your god damn rigtht it will be.  Lamb of God is the Pantera of our time.  And if any of you children remember the good old days, of seeing Pantera turn a enitre Pavillion lawn or an entire Arena floor into a crazy pit.  For me thats what makes some of the best shows.  When you have a crowd of that size, just fucking go off!!   And of the hundreds of bands that I have seen live, Lamb of God is the only band around now that has the power to do that.

Lamb of God pits
^^^nothing that any of you listen to, can or will ever set a crowd off like that.
which is just one of the smaller reasons why Lamb of God is the shit!!

[signal1hundred]

I hope they return to Richmond for that open date in May.  I saw them at the Columbus Ozzfest 2 years ago and they brought the house down.
