Metal Blade Records has always represented Heavy Music worldwide by bringing to the masses some badass music! One thing that sets them apart is the fact that Brian Slagel (founder and CEO) treats the bands like family and works non-stop to make sure that all bands succeed. In case you didn't know this if it wasn't for Slagel, Metallica and Slayer would have probably never had their big "break".
Since Metal Blade Records recognizes the importance of the Heavy Music market in Latin America, this fall three of the most badass bands of the Metal Blade roster are taking over Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela and Mexico! The tour will begin on December 3rd in Sao Paulo, Brazil and will wrap up on December 13th in Mexico City, Mexico. Here is the OFFICIAL press release:
"South American fans are notoriously some of the most diehard Metal heads in the world and the bands are excited for this tour to get started. Cannibal Corpse vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher comments on the tour: "In every interview, I am asked where the sickest and best Death Metal fans are and it is hands down South America. I've seen kids in the front row bleeding and losing their minds, they are all crazy in the best way possible. It's hands down my favorite place to play and I can't wait to come back!" The Black Dahlia Murder vocalist Trevor Strnad adds, "We are very excited to be a part of this monstrous South American tour. It is always a pleasure to play alongside the almighty Cannibal Corpse... but in South America?! The shows are going to be absolutely insane, without a doubt. To the South American fans: prepare for an unearthly ritual!" Guitarist Brian Eschbach comments further, "We are extremely excited for another chance to support the almighty Cannibal Corpse!!! It has always been great touring with them. We especially look forward to seeing them DESTROY South America and Mexico City. iViva la Smash!"
Cannibal Corpse's latest release, the Global Evisceration DVD is available now, and includes hours of behind the scenes footage of the band as they tour Europe and contains two full live shows from the US.
