The California Metalfest seems like it’s going to be a pretty epic event. And in addition to being an event where you’ll be able to see Killswitch Engage perform Alive or Just Breathing in it’s entirety, the fest will also serve as the kickoff to a tour featuring Veil of Maya, The Acacia Strain, Upon a Burning Body, Volumes and Twitching Tongues.
One of the coolest things about this tour, other than the bands on it, is the poster. Featuring Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan behind Veil’s logo and Boston Celtic Larry Bird behind The Acacia Strain’s, it also let you know where each band is from. I guess it also suggests that those two bands are legends, the best there ever was, at what they do. I think that’s up for debate , but it’s still going to be a pretty sick tour.
