All Shall Perish, Within the Ruins to Tour with Some Other Bands

Much as Cobalt have planned a tour around their appearance at Maryland Deathfest, so it now seems that not only have a handful of death metal bands planned a tour around their appearance at Heavy MTL — in fact, this tour is officially sanctioned by Heavy MTL, and is called The Heavy MTL South of the Border Tour. Marking the first time anyone has ever referred to the U.S. as “south of the border.”

How will these shows be? I like All Shall Perish, although I have yet to see them without Ben Orum, and I have nothing against Within the Ruins. The other bands range from shitty (Oceano, Reflections, Betrayal) to meh (Obey the Brave). So… attending or not, I s’pose, depends on how much you love ASP.

Dates are below, via Lambgoat. And don’t forget that we’re giving away tickets to the ACTUAL Heavy MTL, which will also feature killer groups like At the Gates, Machine Head, Amon Amarth, Mastodon, Baroness, Children of Bodom, and The Acacia Strain, to name but a few! Go here to enter.
