Darkest Hour Drop Off Summer Slaughter

Darkest Hour announced yesterday that they have been forced to drop off the remainder of this year’s Summer Slaughter Tour. The band released the following statement:

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be playing the remaining dates on the The Summer Slaughter Tour. Texas, you know we love you, we’ll be back soon.”

There only a couple dates left so Texas is getting the shaft, but they have always done a great job here hopefully nothing too major has affected them! In the meantime, enjoy this video instead...

Summer Slaughter Tour Announced

A favorite of the metal crews out there, especially now that many of the summer tours have decimated their underground or more extreme acts. The Summer Slaughter tour still offers some wicked bad ass metal bands, and is compact enough to hit the medium market cities as well.

I am pretty excited about this year's line-up, Black Dahlia is one of my favorite bands, and it looks like we will get to vote for some of the opening acts too. Actual tour dates won't beannounced until 4/20/11!
