ARCH ENEMY Prepares For The "Tyranny and Bloodshred Tour"
ARCH ENEMY’s “Tyranny and Bloodshred Tour” is getting ready to tear up
the USA and Canada with an awesome display of guitar shredding metal. To
help launch this spring’s heaviest tour, they are teaming up with
Believers In The Power of Metal (www.BITPOM.com), the world’s first
interactive forum for metal fans, bands and the metal music industry, to
give away one of ARCH ENEMY axeman Michael Amott’s custom ESP Ninja
guitars. Simply register at BITPOM and then leave a comment explaining
why you are the biggest believer in the power of metal.
Entry is open to all U.S. and Canadian residents. Winner will be
selected on Monday, June 2 at 10 AM EST. One entry per winner – duplicate entries will disqualify you. The tour kicks off on May 9th so
either see below or visit www.myspace.com/archenemy now to view their
complete itinerary.
Angela Gossow (vocals) further comments on the upcoming headlining run:
“The ‘Tyranny and Bloodshred Tour’ will be a brutal return to North
America. We had an extremely good run with the co-headlining tour with
Machine Head last year and we know this one will be just as good or even
top the last one! We have been playing around with different and very
extensive set lists the last couple of headlining tours and by the time
we hit the U.S. the set will be a smooth, yet brutal ride through the
history of ARCH ENEMY releases including the new album Rise of The
Tyrant of course. Make sure got down the lyrics for ‘Vultures’ – I want
to hear you all scream along! It’s going to be EPIC!
“We managed to pick a set of excellent support acts: Dark Tranquility,
Divine Heresy and Firewind. They will make sure we will deliver the
goods, keep us on our toes and kicking everybody’s butt out there until
it bleeds. We can’t wait to make our way over the grand ocean – it’s a
killer line-up, we carefully picked the venues, we are bringing a set
full of goodies and promise you the ‘Tyranny and Bloodshred Tour’ will
be full metal assault. It’s going to be a pure fucking shred-fest. Get
your tickets, before the shows sell out! Horns up.”
