(PR) Nothing says metal like product placement! The good news is Lamb of God have lined up a pretty impressive tour. The bad news is they sold out the name to an energy drink company. Here is the announcement with the product placement removed: Fresh off of their west coast run with Metallica and upcoming visits to Finland, UK, Ireland, Australia, Japan, and Indonesia, Lamb of God now plan a North American Corporate Energy Drink Sponsored tour in support of their fifth studio album "Wrath" which will be released by Epic Records February 24th. Lamb of God has put together one of the strongest bills to come out of the metal community in recent times. As I Lay Dying and Children of Bodom are the main support acts on the tour, with the opening slot rotating between God Forbid and Municipal Waste.
Lamb of God drummer, Chris Adler, commented "I cannot wait to begin the first North American run of the 'Wrath' world tour. The package we have lined up is guaranteed to leave sore necks and broken eardrums across the country. If you are into metal, there is something here for everyone, this is not a tour to miss. We are working up one hell of a show and can't wait to play the new material. See you there! "
The tour commences in Phoenix, Arizona on April 2nd and covers 35 markets in the US and Canada, ending in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina May 15th.
