Oceano, Broken Hope, Fallujah, Rivers of Nihil and Kublai Kahn Announce Spring Tour
And just like that, the spring touring season is upon us, with tour announcements and rumors coming from left, right, center and all over. And that’s great news: my show calendar has been pretty much empty lately, with just one in January and a couple in February. I’m grateful for the break — fall 2013 was so crazy busy that I felt like my head might implode from the sheer force of blast beats pounding into my skull on a nightly basis — but I’m kinda feeling like it’s time to get back in the saddle. By the time March rolls around I’m sure I’ll be itching for some action.
And so: remember how yesterday we posted the entire lineup for The New England Metal and Hardcore Fest and surmised that some of the bands would probably end up on tours together? Welp, Fallujah posted the above tour poster last night on their Facebook page touting The Best in Brutality tour, featuring Oceano, Broken Hope, themselves, Rivers of Nihil and Kublai Khan. That’s quite an interesting lineup, varied all across the death metal spectrum, which is how we like our lineups here at MetalSucks. Something for everyone. Gary Suarez would be happy, bless his soul! I have never seen Fallujah play live (ever since I stopped confusing them with Vildjharta), so that’s gonna be particularly exciting for me.
