Doc Coyle continues to keep himself busy post-God Forbid. The guitarist announced today that he will be filling in for bassist John “Slo” Maggard on Unearth’s upcoming tour with Sepultura, Kataklysm, Dark Sermon, Scar The Martyr and Anciients.
In a post on his website, Coyle got a little sentimental regarding the gigs he would be performing with his longtime metal buddies, saying:
“Unearth and God Forbid came up together in the mid/late 90′s hardcore scene slogging it out in the same VFW halls, basements, and Rec centers. They are truly dear, old friends, and I can’t wait to spend a month together smelling their farts. I am especially psyched to hit the road since it’s been almost been a year since I’ve toured. Let’s see if my headbangin’ neck stick works.”
It is unclear why Maggard is sitting out this tour, though this isn’t the first time he’s sat out from touring. However, until this is all sorted, you can catch Coyle helping out his dear old Unearth friends at the shows listed below.
