More Asplosions Coming From Norma Jean

Mar.11, 2011

Not content with calling it quits after their current Explosions II tour, Norma Jean will be embarking on the Explosions II Part Deux tour across North America this spring, alongside After The Burial, Motionless In White, For The Fallen Dreams, and Stray From The Path. Personally I’d be most interested in seeing Norma Jean and After The Burial, but it looks like they’ll be getting the most stage time on this tour anyways so it’d be worth it. Plus, thanks to Peter we already know that Norma Jean put on a great show. I myself had the pleasure of seeing After The Burial recently and I enjoyed their set, although I’m more of a fan of Rareform and they played mainly newer material. Even though the tour dates are displayed on the flier, I’ll go ahead and post them after the jump to make it a little easier on your eyes. Aren’t I such a sweetheart?

Thrash and Burn Tour 2010: A Big Mess

Filed Under: Tours and Rumors of Tours

May.31, 2010

2010 hasn’t exactly been kind to us. It took away James “The Rev” Sullivan, Peter Steele, Ronnie James Dio, and Paul Grey. Not only have the tragic passing of our heroes made this year one giant let down so far, some circles are calling 2010 “The Year The Festival Died,” and this year’s iteration of the Thrash And Burn Tour sort of provides evidence to the claim.

The lineup consists of headliners Asking Alexandria (wat?!) and Born of Osiris. Support comes in the way off Kittie, Stick To Your Guns, Impending Doom, Through The Eyes Of The Dead (for the first half of the tour), Evergreen Terrace (for the second half), Greeley Estates, Periphery, Motionless In White, and Chelsea Grin.

Fuck me sideways, that would be terrible. I’m not going to speak for the rest of the writers here, but I like Born of Osiris, and Periphery’s debut album is probably my favorite album of the year so far–but I’m not gonna drive for four hours to see Periphery play for fifteen minutes and sit through two or three hours of deathcore and bland metalcore to see them and BOO perform. If I already lived in a city the tour was coming to, I’d might consider going. But they aren’t.
