Slayer and Unearth tour[views:19540][posts:33]______________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 9:23am - the_reverend ""] SLAYER ANNOUNCES WINTER 2007 HEADLINE TOUR WITH DIRECT SUPPORT UNEARTH! "Slayer is one of the most influential bands of all time in the metal genre. We get to tour with those guys and bring our brand of metal to their stage. It is an honor, privilege and a god damn milestone for us." Trevor Phipps of Unearth This monster of a tour will hit the road on January 24th for a four-week North American tour. The dates are in support of the Unearth's latest album, "III In The Eyes Of Fire" (Terry Date, Soundgarden, White Zombie, Pantera, Deftones 8/06). "III In The Eyes Of Fire" tipped the Billboard Top 200 Chart debuting at # 35and was Unearth's first new studio album since 2004's critically acclaimed Metal Blade Records debut titled, "The Oncoming Storm." "UNEARTH leaves no stone unturned in creating a monstrous album that incorporates elements of everyone from IRON MAIDEN (guitar harmonies) to the best of the Swedish melodic death metal bands". Blabbermouth.com "This is easily a front running candidate for Metal Album of the Year." Blender.com "Unearth is actually as dark, hard and heavy as they claim it is. utilitarian metal at its finest." Decibel "The Metal progenitors hit back with the brilliant and brutal III In The Eyes Of Fire." Guitar World" "A Stunning accomplishment, one that repeatedly pushes the boundaries of heaviness, yet contains enough sonic and lyrical layers to give the songs depth and staying power." Revolver Magazine "The punishing metal quintette from Mass- fans of seven string guitars- made lots of new fans on Ozzfest this summer: It's like Anthrax and Megadeth rolled into one. It's everything you want in a great metal song" Cory Taylor of Slipknot in Rolling Stone Magazine The last three years of touring has transformed Unearth into the most powerful live show to see, attracting Slayer to ask them to be direct support for this upcoming tour. Unearth has shared the stage with Black Label Society on Ozzfest 2006, Slipknot, Sounds Of The Underground 2005, Lamb Of God, Killswitch Engage among others; and has delivered their metal at a fever pitch on recent sold- out tours of Australia, Japan, and Europe as well Unearth will have a new video, their second one off "III In The Eyes Of Fire" for the track "Sanctity of Brothers" produced by Darren Doane (Every Time I Die, Lamb Of God) Confirmed dates for Slayer's winter 2007 North American tour are as follows: JANUARY 24 Tucson Convention Center, Tucson, AZ 25 House of Blues, Las Vegas, NV 26 TBA 28 Memorial Auditorium, Sacramento, CA 30 Great Salt Air, Salt Lake City, UT 31 Fillmore Auditorium, Denver, CO FEBRUARY 2 Bricktown Events Center, Oklahoma City, OK 3 Memorial Hall, Kansas City, KS 5 Egyptian Room, Indianapolis, IN 7 Labatt Center, London, Ontario 8 Copps Coliseum, Hamilton, Ontario 9 Scotiabank Place, Ottawa, Ontario 10 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY 12 Lifestyles Pavilion, Columbus, OH 13 Convocation Center, Youngstown, OH 15 Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, NY 16 Lupo's at the Strand Theatre, Providence, Rhode Island 17 House of Blues, Atlantic City, NJ 19 9:30 Club, Washington, D.C. 20 9:30 Club, Washington, D.C. 22 House of Blues, Myrtle Beach, S.C. 23 House of Blues, Orlando, FL 24 Ft.

| _____________________________ [Nov 16,2006 9:26am - pam ""] Just ONCE they will have an opening band that doesn't inch me to chewing a hole in my wrist during their set. Just once. This shit is going to sell out FAST. Lupos is tiny for Slayer. |

| __________________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 9:28am - thedeparted nli ""] is it really that small? i saw them at the old lupos, the real lupos not this diesel shit, and it was friggen packed. havent been to their new location. i agree about the shitty openers. or maybe one day that kerry king isnt in a sum 41 video heh |
| _______________________________ [Nov 16,2006 10:48am - Yeti ""] Unearth is fucking terrible and always has been. the singers voice is so fucking annoying. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 11:19am - dudeguy ""] Eh, they put on a great live show. That last show in Revere was tits. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 1:41pm - anonymous ""] unearth sucks balls...is there another terrible bands opening |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 1:50pm - dreadkill ""] thedeparted nli said:hasnt unearth thrown the towel in yet? they're making decent money. there's no point in throwing in the towel. for the record, i hate unearth so much. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 16,2006 1:55pm - CNV ""] Shopping Mall Metal I heard they were also going to be on The Laguna Beach soundtrack and Slayer has not done anything great since the eighties |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 2:02pm - dreadkill ""] ha, the laguna beach soundtrack. that's gay as hell. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 2:25pm - xanonymousx ""] those are some small venues for a band that played tsongas a few months back. should be fun regardless its slayer |
| ______________________________ [Nov 16,2006 4:51pm - Lamp ""] I saw Slayer a couple years ago at Lupo's actually. That place blows. So many little steps, no room to move around. The GWAR tour is going there next month however, so I will be in this shithole for that and definitely to see Municipal Waste above all else. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 5:16pm - urinal turd ""] lupos isn't lupos anymore. it's now at the strand and they just say its at lupos. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 16,2006 5:41pm - Lamp ""] I know it's not the old Lupo's anymore, I was referring to the new place. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 7:15pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Didn't they tour with the Haunted (Slayer)? That was alright. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 8:09pm - Kevord ""] DrinkHardThrashHard said:Didn't they tour with the Haunted (Slayer)? That was alright. Slayer never toured with the Haunted in the U.S. that I can remember. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 8:11pm - Kevord ""] Sick of it all was probably the best opening act they've had in the past ten years when Slayer was headlining. |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 16,2006 9:31pm - chris_from_shit_fuck ""] I like Mastodon, so I thought that was a good opening act. Other than that I agree with everyone else that they pick the worst openers. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2006 3:19am - demondave ""] They want to bring in the Mall crowd. Plus, they want openers that won't blow them away... Mastadon were an odd choice for them, because they weren't fitting any of those characteristics. Maybe Kerry saw their tattoos in a magazine and thought they were Good Charlotte |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 17,2006 9:19am - FuckIsMySignature ""] hate the game not the players |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 17,2006 2:22pm - dreadkill ""] didn't meshuggah open for slayer back when meshuggah was good? |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 17,2006 2:28pm - HeavensJail ""] yeah, they and SOIA opened on the same tour |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 17,2006 3:24pm - anonymous ""] uh, if any of your bands were offered a place on an mtv soundtrack, i doubt you'd say no. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 17,2006 3:30pm - Yeti ""] Meshuggah is bad now? |
| ______________________________ [Nov 17,2006 3:30pm - Yeti ""] Catch 33 was out there, but its far from bad. i will agree that its no Chaosphere. |
| _______________________________________________ [Nov 17,2006 4:54pm - HOoker nooasijdfaojd ""] messhugah has never been good |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 17,2006 8:48pm - xanonymousx ""] Kevord said:DrinkHardThrashHard said:Didn't they tour with the Haunted (Slayer)? That was alright. Slayer never toured with the Haunted in the U.S. that I can remember. the haunted said they wanted to tour with slayer on the nemhf 2003 dvd |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 19,2006 12:06pm - anonymous ""] Any one that bashes slayer should just take a look at slayer's career, and then take a look at their own life, most people that bash slayer are fuckin losers still livin with mom and spend all day on the computer, slayer has done more with their lives then anyone on this site. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 19,2006 12:10pm - CaptainCleanoff ""] Slayer has shitty bands open up so they do not feel "upstaged". Either way, I still like em, but I am sick of em. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 19,2006 12:12pm - CaptainCleanoff ""] Kevord said:Sick of it all was probably the best opening act they've had in the past ten years when Slayer was headlining. I was at that show in RI, SOIA got pissed at the crowd, but I cannot remember why because I was hammered and trying to find oxygen in the room because Lupo's was so packed I felt like a Jew on a train. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 19,2006 2:55pm - xanonymousx ""] slayer has these bands open for them simply to get the young kids out to the show to see them |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 25,2007 12:17am - SKREW YOU ""] OMG you guys suck... Unearth is the best band ever! |
