Metal Alliance Dates Announced: No Central TX?

It had been previously announced that Anthrax would headline the third annual Metal Alliance Tour, set to kick off in March and run through the month of April. The band will perform its fan-favorite 1987 album "Among The Living" in its entirety during the trek, which will feature support from Exodus, Municipal Waste, Holy Grail and a couple of additional bands, to be announced at a later date. Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian said: 

"Holy crap am I so excited about this year's Metal Alliance Tour!  

It's been a great year and a half for us since 'Worship Music' came out and to cap it off with a Grammy nomination. 

This is such a perfect lineup. To make this tour even more special, we will be playing our 'Among The Living' record in its entirety. I can't wait to play 'Horror Of It All'!

Come on out and worship with us, my friends. You do not want to miss this. USA on Hell one more time."

As you can see Central Texas, we apparently are not metal enough to support yet another tour through Austin and San Antonio. Unless they are going to do a warm up during SXSW like we saw last year...Just saying...
