Crowbar, Battlecross, and Lord Dying Join Forces to Make Your Summer Doomy

Jeeze-o-pete, it is just raining cool tour announcements today, isn’t it? There’s been Metal Alliance, Darkest Hour and Dead to Fall, The Contortionist and Chon, and now this: the Summer of Doom North American tour, headlined by Crowbar with support coming from Battlecross and Lord Dying. That’s a swell line-up! So much so that I don’t even mind that there is absolutely no way to classify Battlecross as doom, which kinda ruins the theme of the tour. I guess “Summer of Rock Your Fucking Face” didn’t fit on the poster or something.
