Death Angel touring w/ Children of Bodom & Tyr in 2014 (dates)

by Doug Moore

Death Angel in 2011 (more by Tim Griffin)
Children of Bodom

This is an engagingly diverse big-box metal tour (which we mentioned in passing last week): Finnish goof-shredders Children of Bodom will hit North America in February and March of next year. Long-running West Coast thrash instutiton Death Angel will provide direct support, with Faroe Islands folk metallers Tyr rounding out the bill. To review: that’s self-consciously campy black/power metal headlining, stern old-school thrash supporting, and so-serious-it’s-goofy proggy folk metal opening things up — all three released albums in 2013, but that’s about all they have in common. (CoB and Death Angel are also both on Nuclear Blast, but Tyr are signed to Metal Blade.) Bizarre, but there will be no lack of variety.

The tour is capped by a two-night stand at Irving Plaza on March 28 & 29. Tickets are on sale now, including two-night VIP passes for those among you who really like it when Alexi Laiho goes YOW!”
