For Immediate Release: THRASH & BURN EUROPEAN TOUR
The THRASH & BURN European Tour, presented by IMPERIAL CLOTHING in conjunction with AVOCADO BOOKING and OUTERLOOP MANAGEMENT, have announced the tour’s inaugural run in Europe.
The THRASH & BURN European tour aims to give the underground metal fan an inexpensive way to see a diverse package of the most relevant bands today.
DARKEST HOUR and BLEEDING THROUGH will be supported by Beneath the Massacre, Carnifex, War From a Harlot’s Mouth, Arsonists Get All the Girls and Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky.
THRASH & BURN European Tour Organizer Mike Mowery said, “Following the overwhelming success of the THRASH & BURN Tour in the USA last summer, it was only a matter of time before we decided to launch the branded tour in Europe. Just as we did with the inaugural run in the USA last summer, our goal for the European tour is to provide an inexpensive day of metal, thrash and punk.
”
DARKEST HOUR’s unofficial moniker LIVE TO THRASH, THRASH TO LIVE made them a perfect fit to co-headline the tour. Guitarist Mike Schleibaum had this to say: “Darkest Hour is excited to co-headline this year’s inaugural THRASH & BURN European Tour. Touring with younger bands has always been something we have been about. It's a good way to keep metal evolving and progressing.
We are stoked to be able to tour along with good friends Bleeding Through and of course we look forward to hanging and partying with all of our older European friends and the new friends we will soon make!”
DARKEST HOUR has not been in Europe since September of 2007, when they were the main support for AS I LAY DYING. This will be the band’s first and only European Tour headlining on their DELIVER US Album (2007 – Victory Records).
BLEEDING THROUGH’s Brandan Schieppati echoed Darkest Hour’s sentiments: "We are really happy to be returning to Europe and co-headlining with our friends in Darkest Hour on the excellent THRASH & BURN European tour. We think the tour line-up is one that will blow people away.
”
BLEEDING THROUGH is fresh off the heels of a European tour supporting Bullet for My Valentine and Lacuna Coil. Like co-headliners DARKEST HOUR, BLEEDING THROUGH has toured Europe extensively. Last summer, the band performed on many of the larger festivals throughout Europe, including the Download Festival in the UK.
BENEATH THE MASSACRE and CARNIFEX are no strangers to Europe either. The former just completed a nearly sold-out run with Cryptopsy, while the latter just finished the Altamont Never Say Die Tour. Rounding out the bill are a few bands that European fans have been eagerly anticipating: ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS, War From A Harlots Mouth, and Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky.
THRASH & BURN European Tour Organizer Ivonne Davies-Kreye of Avocado Booking expressed excitement about the tour as well: “We’ve chosen a number of outstanding bands whose sounds and dynamics compliment each other very well, yet we’ve kept it diverse enough so there’s something for the shredders, the moshers and the scenesters alike. With yet another crushing line-up, we expect for the THRASH & BURN European Tour to be as successful as our other festival tour, NEVER SAY DIE! Audiences can look forward to a bill so devastating that any extreme music fan in and around Europe won't forget anytime soon.
”
The THRASH & BURN European Tour will be presented by IMPERIAL CLOTHING, an up-and-coming merchandise and clothing company with strong ties to the underground hardcore and metal community.
Martin Böttcher from IMPERIAL CLOTHING commented: "We are proud to be able to participate in the first run of the THRASH & BURN European tour. The roster kills and the kids will have the chance to enjoy an evening full of riffing, moshing, and grinding. Imperial Clothing will be present at every venue to have a party with all the fans.
So be prepared for some surprises!"
The THRASH & BURN European tour kicks off April 19 and will run through May 16. The initial batch of tour dates is listed below.
