Two veterans of the metal industry will be teaming up to bring a massive tour to North American shores.
Grindcore pioneers Napalm Death and legendary thrashers Voivod will team up with Exhumed, Iron Reagan, and Black Crown Initiate for a massive trek around the continent. Not a bad line-up at all for the tour appropriately named ‘Through Space and Grind’, a perfect mix of old and new!
Two of the co-headliners members commented on the announcement of the tour:
Napalm Death vocalist Mark ‘Barney’ Greenway commented:
“As a celebration of both the unconventional and more straight-out methods of musical attack, I think this tour lineup really hits home.
“To think that 30 years ago I was marveling at the savage eccentricities of ‘War And Pain’ and now I’m sharing stage / living space with Snake, Away and co… surreal, almost.
“From Napalm’s perspective, we’ll bring the overdrive to the spaciness. It’s all going to rage whichever way you slice it.”
Voivod drummer Michael ‘Away’ Langevin commented:
“I am psyched to tour North America with Napalm Death, for which I always had a huge respect. We crossed path over the years and finally we’ll get to unite VOIVOD’s spacy thrash metal with NAPALM’s grindcore. A perfect combination!!”
