This past summer has been full of great tours here in North America, and one of the ones I’ve been most excited for is the Over The Limit Tour. With a fairly solid lineup of mostly techy deathcore bands, with a few exceptions, I was expecting a pretty good show. I’ll go ahead and tell you I was disappointed with what some of them had to offer, but the show only cost me $10 and it was only an hour drive to Ground Zero in Spartanburg SC from where I live so I’m not complaining.
Yesterday, a new Oceano tour was announced in the way of the Over The Limit Tour, in which they co-headline with As Blood Runs Black. Normally when I see headlines such as this in my RSS Feed, I ignore them. But this time, I had to take a look, as Arsonists Get All The Girls, The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, and Circle of Contempt are also on the tour. Circle of Contempt are good, but Danza and Arsonists are god-tier in the scene as far as I’m concerned and them touring together is enough for my pants to get a little tight. The fact that they have to open for this shit deathcore band Oceano is proof that there is no justice in this world.
Also in the lineup: Thick as Blood, Burning The Masses, Blindwitness, with Sons of Aurelius and This or the Apocalypse on select dates. I don’t particularly care enough about any of them, but that’s besides the point. Danza and Arsonists are going to be on tour together. Get excited.
Here’s the plan: Show up, see show, leave before Oceano comes on.
