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)

hasnt unearth thrown the towel in yet?

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.

I fucking wish.

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

Unearth is fucking terrible and always has been. the singers voice is so fucking annoying.

Eh, they put on a great live show.

That last show in Revere was tits.

unearth sucks balls...is there another terrible bands opening

they're making decent money. there's no point in throwing in the towel. for the record, i hate unearth so much.

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

ha, the laguna beach soundtrack. that's gay as hell.

those are some small venues for a band that played tsongas a few months back.
should be fun regardless its slayer

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.

lupos isn't lupos anymore. it's now at the strand and they just say its at lupos.

I know it's not the old Lupo's anymore, I was referring to the new place.

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.

Sick of it all was probably the best opening act they've had in the past ten years when Slayer was headlining.

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.

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

hate the game not the players

didn't meshuggah open for slayer back when meshuggah was good?

yeah, they and SOIA opened on the same tour

uh, if any of your bands were offered a place on an mtv soundtrack, i doubt you'd say no.

Meshuggah is bad now?

Catch 33 was out there, but its far from bad. i will agree that its no Chaosphere.

messhugah has never been good

BLASPHEMY!!!

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.

Slayer has shitty bands open up so they do not feel "upstaged".
Either way, I still like em, but I am sick of em.

Kevord said:

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.

slayer has these bands open for them simply to get the young kids out to the show to see them

OMG you guys suck... Unearth is the best band ever!
