I just saw a Facebook post by Aborted announcing this tour. We just have a few dates and locations so far because an official announcement hasn’t been made, but this line-up is like a ball-peen hammer to the back of the head:
ORIGIN
CATTLE DECAPITATION
DECREPIT BIRTH
ABORTED
RINGS OF SATURN
BATTLECROSS
UPDATE: We now have an official announcement and the entire tour schedule. It begins on April 20 in Baltimore and ends on May 18 in Lawrence, Kansas. Happily for me, it includes a Seattle stop. Check it out after the jump.

Done!
oh my god this is amazing, i hope they come to charlotte, nc i’ve always wanted to see Cattle Decap and I’ve wanted to see Aborted live even more since their latest album came out
Unfortunately, it looks like Baltimore is as far south as this tour goes.
yeah what a bummer
fuckin A, Islander. Say hi to Battlecross from me! THEY DESTROY
Yessir, I am really looking forward to hearing/seeing them live based on your past descriptions. No weak links in this line-up at all, in my opinion.
Y U NO COME TO CANADA!?
Excuse me while I stick my head in a garbage pail and smack it repeatedly with a wrench.
I like when tours skp Orlando and load it with bands I don’t give a shit about. Lessens the chance of said bands being attached to other tours :). Woo Hoo
Awesome! I’m already going to totally broke due to all the great shows coming up, but still, FUCKING SWEET!
Maybe Studio Seven can be convinced to turn themselves into a homeless shelter for broke fans, with all the music still available. Now that would be some genuine charity.
Oh man, this is payback for my recent gloating to Islander about all the badass shows the UK is getting at the moment.
I believe the Buddhists call this karma.
This is such an awesome tour… they even stop in my state, which almost never gets big names compared to most other states. Considering my luck though, I probably won’t be able to make it… it’s quite possible I could be studying abroad at the time…
Please come to Edmonton – Canada!! Evil Please!!
