Clutch and Killswitch Engage Announce Co-Headlining Tour
“Wow, called it!” said nobody. You know, a couple outdoor gigs, a fest or two along the way, and a decent amount of focus on the Eastern Seaboard — pretty standard fare for Clutch touring at this point, if a little bit shorter than some of the runs they go on. Then you throw in metalcore stalwarts Killswitch Engage as a co-headliner and things get a little more eyebrow-raising. Clutch of course are no strangers to touring with metal bands — they shared a bill with Slayer and System of a Down in ’98 as I recall and even recently they were out with Sevendust I guess to fill their quota of “odd pairings with bands who also started in the ’90s,” but it’s been a while I think since they’ve hit the road with a group so directly aggro as Killswitch Engage. Trying to reach different audiences is a tricky prospect, but no worries. Clutch‘ll be just fine.
They go supporting last year’s Book of Bad Decisions (review here) on Weathermaker. Worth noting as well that the Inwood, West Virginia, show is their third Earth Rocker Festival, which Killswitch Engage and Cro-Mags will also play, as well as Fireball Ministry.
Okeydokey then:
