Gorguts

Death metal maniacs Gorguts released the stellar mini-album/song Pleiades' Dust earlier this year, and they had been promising to play that beast in full on an upcoming tour...

The EP is a major trip, and already one of the flat-out best metal releases of the year.

Also: Madball, Agnostic Front, Sodom, Cannibal Corpse, Ice Cube, Jane's Addiction, Against Me!, Turbonegro, NOFX (playing Punk In Drublic), Leftover Crack, Poison the Well, the current version of Sepultura, the Cavaleras playing Sepultura's Roots, and what will apparently be Twisted Sister's last Canadian show.
