The third incarnation of the Metal Alliance tour was already shaping up to be a great one, but now it’s gotten even better, as High On Fire have been added to the bill. Hell, there are some people that were psyched just because Anthrax and Exodus were on the bill. And while Municipal Waste and Holy Grail are both newer bands. they offer retro versions of hardcore and metal, respectively. High On Fire fit right in the middle. The three-piece wrapped up their first tour since both last year’s excellent De Vermis Mysteriis was released and frontman Matt Pike emerged from rehab. Even if we had nothing to do with this tour, it’s shaping up to be one of the best of the Spring, but as a co-sponsor, we’re even more psyched. Check out tour dates after the jump.
