(Fresno Media) Arch Enemy has announced the dates for their 'Tyrants of Evil' headlining tour, which will shred across North America in early 2010. Arch Enemy will be accompanied by Bay Area Thrashers, Exodus, with Arsis and Mutiny Within rounding out the impressive lineup. This is the first Arch Enemy US and Canada headline tour in support of their latest release, The Root of All Evil, which hit stores last week (released via Century Media Records).
Arch Enemy vocalist Angela Gossow issued the following statement: Hells Yes! We are more than ready to return to the US and Canada for a head banging and neck breaking tour experience! Totally stoked about the killer package - Arch Enemy, Exodus, Arsis and Mutiny Within. We personally handpicked these bands for you! A full on extreme, versatile and so very METAL line-up. You will be hurting in a good way after we have been through town! The Tyrants Of Evil are ready to kill!!!
