So many of you have e-mailed us this week to instruct us to post news about the fact that Opeth and Enslaved are touring together that I’m fairly certain posting news about the fact that Opeth and Enslaved are touring together is a complete waste of time; I mean, clearly, everyone and their mother is already aware of this tour.
I’m not saying this isn’t an awesome package – clearly, it is – I’m just saying, you’ve all sent us the news and the tour dates, so what can we tell you that you don’t already know? How about this: we will be at the show at the Starland Ballroom in NJ, and we will be high. Actually, you probably knew that already, too.
I’m putting tour dates after the jump, although I don’t for the life of me know why.
May 1 – Sayreville, NJ @ Starland Ballroom
May 2 – Boston, MA @ House of Blues Boston
May 3 – Montreal, QC @ Le Medley
May 4 – Toronto, ON @ Sound Academy
May 5 – Millvale, PA @ Mr. Small’s Place
May 6 – Chicago, IL @ House of Blues
May 8 – Omaha, NE @ Sokol Auditorium

Also, in an effort to become death metal’s answer to Kiss, the Carcass reunion tour is somehow still going on. They’ll have a bunch of cool bands on all the dates, including Suicide Silence and Arsis; if you haven’t seen ‘em yet, I’d go buy my tickets right now… although something tells me this won’t be your last chance to see ‘em.
Also, Obituary are touring with Goatwhore, Krisiun, Berzerker and Warbringer.
Also, Suffocation are touring with Whitechapel, Decrepit Birth, Veil of Maya, and Psycroptic.
This concludes our needless reiteration of information you already knew.

see you in San Francisco.
Who cares if you were reiterating useless information, as long as you keep posting pics of hot chicks we don’t care.
Chance to redeem myself for missing Opeth last year. at the same venue.
AWESOME! I can walk to the Glasshouse in Pomona.
I hate living in Florida, none of the best shows ever some anywhere near me. i can take going to Atlanta from Orlando for a show. but when the closest is Knoxville FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
I didn’t know about it so thanks…i’m psyched!
enslaved and opeth would be sweet! i get to see isahn and opeth in oslo though, not bad either.
Allready got my ticket for the Montral show… it’ll my 3rd Opeth show in less than a year!!!
I’m quite tempted to just drive to DC for this one
THIS BAND IS GAY. SOUNDS LIKE A BUNCH OF PUTRID HOCKEYSTAINS. LOGS/FASKINGS.
Enslaved couldn’t do Keep of Kalessin and Swallow the Sun, but they can pull their act together for Opeth? LAME.
poot. logs/faskings
Will be at Boise show, I’m so glad they canceled their previous US tour to rebook for this one. The other one wasn’t coming anywhere near me.
My wallet is wide open for the day tickets go on sale in February.
@ Emily.
It’s good business.Opeth have become huge here in the past few years, and to be direct support to them is better for Enslaved.That way, when they decide to come back around, they can do a headlining tour that will carry much more weight.I’ll admit, it does suck if you’re not an Opeth fan, but what can ya do?You’re still getting to see Enslaved, and you’re not waiting any longer than you originally had to.It’s better than nothing, right?
And I’d like to wave the flag for Goatwhore.Perhaps I may actually go see them this time, unlike the 17 or so chances I had to see them while touring for A Haunted Curse, and missed them every single fucking time.Stupid me.
