METALSUCKS AND FULL METAL JACKIE PROUDLY PRESENT THE NORTH AMERICAN KHAOS 2011 TOUR WITH ARCH ENEMY, DEVILDRIVER, SKELETONWITCH, AND CHTHONIC!

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011 at 5:00pm by

That’s right! As many of you have correctly guessed by now, the headliner of the Magical Mystery Tour 2011 we’re co-presenting with Full Metal Jackie is none other than the great Arch Enemy. Yep. We basically pulled the same trick on you that we did the last time we sponsored an Arch Enemy trek. Hey, we did say that this tour has a different line-up, and, technically, we weren’t lying!

And what a line-up it is! As you now know, Arch Enemy will be joined by DevilDriver, Skeletonwitch, and Chthonic. Arch Enemy’s latest, Khaos Legions, might be their strongest album in years, which is saying something, since they’ve never made a bad record; DevilDriver’s recent Beast is, well, a beast; and while we haven’t gotten to hear any new Skeletonwitch or Chthonic material yet, people in the know assure us that it’s awesome — certainly all their old stuff is!

In other words: These shows are going to be ABSOLUTELY FUCKING INSANE, so make sure you get your ass to a gig!

Get tour dates after the jump! And don’t forget that Khaos Legions is out now on Century Media.

    fuck the west coast

  • The Overmatt

    Khaos Legions is far from Arch Enemy’s best work, but this is still a cool tour. If only the Montreal show wasn’t on a friggin Tuesday

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Evan-Clark/1822866049 Evan Clark

    Fuck the Midwest

    • LoGs the Shit

      people need to learn: “One Chicago date does NOT cover the midwest

      • Deth

        Exactly my thoughts. So disappointed. Hopefully this isn’t Arch Enemy’s only tour for the states.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Evan-Clark/1822866049 Evan Clark

      and South Central.

      • Ken

        i blieve they’ll be touring until 2013… in the booklet that comes w/ the album says see you on the road (or something or other) 2011-2013. so my guess is that they’ll be on the road for quite a while

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dave-Colbert/535041444 Dave Colbert

          What the fuck do you call Minneapolis? We’re part of the Midwest too…

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dave-Colbert/535041444 Dave Colbert

          Nice one guys. They scheduled the Minneapolis stop the very same night that Enslaved is playing in St. Paul. Fuck this tour I’m goin’ to Enslaved for sure.

          • Bob Cock

            Yeah, I’ll do Enslaved/Ghost instead easily

    • OldandTired

      And anywhere on the east coast south of Maryland, for that matter.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jordan-Oates/1476540021 Jordan Oates

        Though I don’t plan on going, why does every tour planner ever just assume that Cleveland is close enough for Pittsburgh residents to go to? I really don’t feel like driving 3 hours everytime I wanna see a tour.

  • Anthony

    Oh man, the Toronto date is on the same day that the Uproar tour stops in Toronto. This is going to be tough to decide which one to go to….oh wait, no it won’t, because the Uproar tour sucks, and even though i’m not the biggest AE fan, this tour looks like it’ll be a lot of fun to go see.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Joseph-Acosta/1548720203 Joseph Acosta

    All the waiting and what a let down seeing the dates….

  • TXhellbilly

    No fucking Texas dates. Can’t say I’m surprised.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ryan-Timmons/1778011234 Ryan Timmons

      I’m right there with you, man. This blows.

    • skvllfvk

      The metal scene in Texas disappoints me especially in the Dallas Ft Worth area no fucking appreciation. Simple fact not enough money to make down here. For some reason west Texas has a better metal scene. That what I think I’m born el Paso lives
      Dallas now and thought the metal scene would better. DisaFuknpointment!

      • Blair

        no shit man i drive to tx from louisiana for worthy shows and im often disappointed with dallas and houston crowds for bands that aren’t huge US bands.

  • oh the savages

    Sweet baby jesus and the orphans, what is up with these dates? Do all of these bands strictly hate summer weather so much that they’re (mostly) playing in areas that receive snow in the winter? For the love of god please add more dates.

  • cougar party

    Vancouver, Seattle, Spokane, then San Francisco, but no Portland?

    I SO MAD.

  • http://realmetalfans.net Tucker Max

    Wow. East coast fail. And aren’t you guys based in NYC?

    • MLKbledbbqsauce

      yeah they are fucking stupid, once again florida is shit out of something. of course when all the prog bands that the people at MS suck up to start to tour they will give the east coast all the shit shows

      • stu1

        You do realize Metalsucks has nothing to do with booking these tours, right??

    • Elias

      I’m not sure if they’re based in NYC, but there’s an NYC date right there…

  • GoingDeaf?

    I’ll happily trade you East coasters the San Francisco show for a bill with interesting bands on it.

    • kzr750r1

      LOL +1

    • MoonSnake

      Hahaha I was just thinking that I’m really glad I don’t really want to see this tour that much, because otherwise I would be pretty perturbed by these bogus dates.

  • Bluemobius

    Yeah, these dates are crap. No Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, North Carolina, Penn., etc. People should book good tours or not book them at all.

    • stu1

      Believe it or not, there’s probably a reason behind it. Like, ohhh, a second tour maybe?

      • MLKbledbbqsauce

        im glad you have nothing better to do with your time but make smart ass comments to people, go back to your cave, basement dweller

        • stu1

          I just like pointing out how stupid people like you are. Doesn’t really take much time out of my day since it’s so easy and obvious.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Brian-Dark-Skin/100000889209854 Brian Dark Skin

        im sorry if some ppl got little money and book crap in advanced, i cant wait im hittin up the Origin show cause the SECOND TOUR might come around when im back in school

  • Some Random Dude

    I’ll try to make the Chicago date. And whoever booked this tour needs to find a new job because a lot of big cities were left out.

  • Sambo

    Oh look no Las Vegas. And they could fit one in for September 28. Wow I’m not shocked at all.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mitch-McGregor/1195550656 Mitch McGregor

    fuck, no brisbane shows! And I saved the last 3 months of my pocket money to buy a ticket >.<

  • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/

    GODDAMN thats the second fucking time in a row u guys sponsored an arch enemy tour and the NY date was on a friday night and now i cant go cuz god will smite me if i go c a show on shabbat. fuck

    • http://thatdevilmusic.net Rob Liz

      You’re going to let religion get in the way? Fucking fail.

      • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/

        lol right? but i gotta do what i gotta do

        • Ian

          While not black metal, aren’t all these bands anti-religion in one way or another… There’s some irony here…

  • Brandon

    Way to piss alot of people off for putting on a piss poor job with your tour dates.

  • Jason

    You guys better make a second leg and actually have a Michigan stop.

    • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/

      and a tri state area show that doesnt hate jews

  • meemperor

    Apparently they like Canada, covers all the major Canadian markets. SUCK IT USA!

  • Tyler

    Way to blow ass on this one no wonder why your site sucks.

    • stu1

      Did you finish jr. high?

  • Chainsword

    It would be nice if you send Arch Enemy south of the Mason Dixon Line, ever…

    Like, to Atlanta…

    “Khaos Legions, might be their strongest album in years”
    If you’re a fan of really generic stuff.
    I also just cannot stand Angela Gossow. Her vocals are always manipulated and multilayered to shit, plus she can’t really death growl, she cups the mic to do it.
    I liked Black Earth and Burning Bridges, though.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Devon-Czekaj/550092101 Devon Czekaj

    Blah, no Philly date. I was looking forward to this tour too.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ryan-Sean-Heron/9391234 Ryan Sean Heron

      no philly date is something that seems to be happening more often lately. heard there’s been some trouble with promoters around here lately.

    Kinda irrelevant to the post, but the WHO THE FUCK DOESNT WANT TO LISTEN TO THE NEW BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. GO CHECK THE ENTIRE ALBUM OUT. this isnt a hoax… go check their fbook page if you dont trust me.

    • GoingDeaf?

      I don’t trust you because you like Black Dahlia Murder.

    • http://dystrophy.bandcamp.com devin townsnd’s lost skullte

      i don’t like you because you like Black Dahlia Murder.

  • jared

    FUCK most AMAZING line up ever and no dates within a thousand miles, a tavesty

  • Amazing

    Los Angeles on a fucking Tuesday? Aaaaaand booked at the fucking Nokia theather? How about a venue without a fucking barricade around the pit? Fuuuuuuck Nokia Theather. Fuck Nokia Theater in the ass. Fuuuuck I’m pissed. Goddamn it! aaaargh

  • Amazing

    I mean the Tuesday sucks but I like Devildriver enough to see them on a Tuesday. NOT AT FUCKING NOKIA THEATER. NEVER AGAIN.

    pissed off enough to double post!

  • Bobby DeNiro

    See you at the Worcestor Palladium for this one!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Travis-Bolek/138900376 Travis Bolek

    I might go to this one. I like all the bands except for Devil Driver, so I’ll just probably sit them out. Or play Uno in front of them.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Corey-Mitchell/660352330 Corey Mitchell

      Too bad. They put on a great live show and their new album is incredible. Looks like you’ll be playing UNO solo.

  • Blut

    Looks like a very solid tour, even though Angela’s vocals annoy the shit out of me these days.

  • Braston

    Yeah, for whatever reason Texas gets screwed on these good concerts. Makes sense. Most people from here don’t appreciate this style of music. Sucks though. :-/

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Corey-Mitchell/660352330 Corey Mitchell

      Not sure what city your in, but I have a ton of great metal/hard rock shows coming through either San Antonio or Austin this summer including Summer Slaughter, Slaughter Survivors, All Stars, Warped, Rush, Motley Crue, KEN mode, Origin, Hate Eternal, Vital Remains, Abysmal Dawn, Deftones, Dillinger Escape Plan, Kylesa, Tombs, 16 Volt, Adler’s Appetite, Last Chance to Reason, This or the Apocalypse, Across the Sun, Revocation, A Perfect Circle, Faster Pussycat, MOD, Clinging to the Trees…, YOB, Dark Castle, Def Leppard, Broken Teeth, Volbeat, Liturgy, Underoath, Times of Grace, Jackyl, Dwarves, Nashville Pussy, Macabre, Withered, Torche, Big Business, Lionheart, and Pathology.

      • SkvllFvk

        the dwarves macabre and origin 3 out of 30 or 40 you listed i guess im not counting it but 3 worth it out of that trash and not so great shit. Not like i wanted to go to this shit anyways. Last deicide show i saw the turn out was fucking embarrassing.

  • hatahs

    No dates in the South at all! No Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida.

    Luckily I’m 5 hours from Albuqurque

  • MLKbledbbqsauce
