I’m highly considering just not going to the main Summer Slaughter tour except that would be a fairly dumb idea, however if money was tight I would want to see Aegaeon more than anything else, plus I’m salty that they didn’t win the opener spot on the main tour.
I could have sworn Fallujah was on this tour but maybe not. I still stand by what I said a while back regarding Periphery because they’re definitely the odd band out this year. Not that it’s a bad thing, because it’ll be refreshing to have them play in the middle of everyone else.
Now when you see these dates I wouldn’t get too angry if they aren’t coming to your city based on this list. There’s a few areas where it seems like there’s a lot of time/distance between shows, such as June 31 in Fort Lauderdale then not playing until August 8 in NYC. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is another date (hell, maybe 3-5) added within that timerange. Hopefully we’ll see some more dates added (finalized?) in the near future.
UPDATE: Blah blah blah, the official and finalized dates were released a little bit ago.

Hot diggity damn! I got to see Six Feet Under last year and they were pretty fucking awesome, and even though a few of their members are now fully ex-Chimaira musicians, I would assume that they bring even more brutality this year. Dying Fetus is fucking awesome (See: Kill Your Mother And Rape Your Dog), and I’m so god damn glad Revocation is on the bill. I’ve missed Revocation twice now, but that is gonna change this year! Huzzah! \m/

Well, if you aren’t into extremely brutal death metal just keep on scrollin.
Origin, Cattle Decapitation, Decrepit Birth, Aborted, Rings of Saturn, and Battlecross will be cruising over North America slaying faces as they go. I would be especially pumped for Aborted as their new record Global Flatline is a hell an album. Battlecross is also a name that might not seem familiar but they’ve actually been signed to Nuclear Blast for some time now. When I first heard them last year I enjoyed the riffing that goes on in their songs.
As always, check out bands you haven’t heard of! Buy stuff from Amazon.com and support the bands you like. I’ll be updating this later when the full tour dates are released. Currently 3 dates are announced, though.
This is a pretty badass lineup, especially with Arkaik tossed on there. All the bands are great and this is some really good death metal that will be going across America. For tour dates check Cannibal Corpses tour tab on Facebook.
Also I am slightly unhappy that this isn’t going to be in my backyard in Cleveland, but that’s ok. Arkaik is a REALLY good band that needs more recognition, so if you go to this tour make sure you get there in time for Arkaik. Awesome bunch of guys who have gotten a new drummer in the past few months, and their guitarist is also in Deeds of Flesh.

Read the article here.
Well this is todays big news! Motherfucking BEHEMOTH are going to actually come do a US tour with Watain, The Devil’s Blood, and In Solitude. Dates haven’t been released yet, but the tour is set for 26 different locations starting in April. Check back with Decibel Magazine on January 24th to find the dates and locations as that is when they are being announced.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly40xof6hF1qftsplo1_1280.jpg)

The Faceless and Goatwhore get picked up for the second leg, so automatically this tour is 10x better than leg 1. I still stand by what I said about weird band lineups though. If you’re lucky to live near one of these cities this will be a pretty sweet show, no doubt. Little bit of something for everyone, I guess.
Dying Fetus is actually calling this “Leg 1” of their upcoming tour because they are doing some slightly different lineups and hitting different locations. My only gripe about this lineup is the fact that these bands are very very different, and don’t really match the headliner. JFAC and Dying Fetus, ok that is fine. Adding in Volumes and Last Chance to Reason is kind of weird though because that music is vastly different from JFAC and Dying Fetus. I’m all for spreading the word about a band and whatnot, but it just strikes me funny to include these bands together.
This is going to be a great tour, for sure. CoB is obviously fucking sweet, but the other bands are awesome as well. Eluveitie has a new album coming out soon so they will have plenty of new songs to be heard on tour. Revocation is just awesome, and if you don’t listen to them already then that’s seriously your loss. Threat Signal is fucking dope too and definitely rounds out this dank lineup.
For tour dates you can find them HERE
Yeah, TBDM and Skeletonwitch isn’t just a UK tour most likely because of the reaction from the fans. This will be the #1 tour of the year and it’s not gonna hit many places, in my opinion. What blows the most is the only show in Ohio doesn’t have Skeletonwitch, Nile, or Hour of Penance.
European people don’t worry, you guys still get TBDM and Skeletonwitch.
Feb 7 Update: Turns out that they will be doing a joint show in conjunction with the 2012 Torture Tour, showcasing not only this lineup but also Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed, Abysmal Dawn, and Arkaik. \m/
ho ho ho, Hate Eternal on the loose again. I saw Goatwhore before and they fucking sucked which REALLY made me sad. They didn’t do a sound check and everything sounded like shit :( Too bad they aren’t coming around me because I would actually like to give them a chance to redeem themselves.

Sweet. I saw them last year with Vader and Abigail Williams and it was pretty sick. They’re going on tour this time with Jungle Rot and Gigan. Jungle Rot is pretty brutal, but I haven’t heard of Gigan before (or maybe I have, cuz it rings a small bell). I heard about this tour a few days ago but it wasn’t really official, just word of mouth, but now I see an official posting with dates so voilA.
I don’t know about you folks, but October is going to be a fairly badass month for me as far as sweet concerts.
