Tour of Phantoms: Chimaira, Threat Signal, The Browning, and Dark Sermon

I haven’t gotten to see the new version of Chimaira perform live yet, but the teaser for their new album, Crown of Phantoms, sounded so killer that I’m now salivating to hear the album and finally get to see these dudes in concert. So, yipee!, they’ve just announced a headlining trek, which will kick off in late July.

Slightly less exciting are the support acts: Threat Signal, who I honestly had completely forgotten about (I always confuse them with Diecast — is that weird?), The Browning, who are loathsome, and Dark Sermon, who aren’t bad, but not good enough to get me to sit through Threat Signal and The Browning. Whatever, just more time to pregame before Chimaira go on, I guess!
