BEST TOUR OF EARLY 2009. TOO SOON?
What was already shaping up to be one of the most exciting tours of early 2009 just got even better. The North American jaunt, headlined by Soilwork with support from Darkane and Swallow the Sun, just added North Carolina’s princes of gloomy-death-doom Daylight Dies (read Chris Roddy’s glowing review of Lost to the Living) in place of Warbringer, who were forced to drop off due to recording obligations. It’s not that we don’t like Warbringer — in fact, they’re one of our collective favorite bands of the current re-thrash movement — it’s just that… dude, Daylight fuckin’ Dies!! And Swallow the Sun! On the same bill! Headlined (finally!) by a newly re-Peter Wichers’ed Soilwork!! Dude.
Head exploding. For serious. Full list of tour dates after the jump.
Soilwork, Darkane, Swallow the Sun, Daylight Dies (dates taken from Soilwork’s MySpace page. Please ignore the set times. I’m too lazy to remove them.)
