12 Great Things In Metal This Week (18th Dec)
10. Anthrax And Killswitch Engage Announce Co-Headlining US Tour
In what might be one of the most bizarre metal co-headlining bills of all time, thrash veterans Anthrax announced this week that they will be laying waste to the US in 2017 and will be doing so with metalcore stars Killswitch Engage.
The '80s will meet the 2000s in a blend of old and new which could very well see the classic Anthrax pass the torch to the rock stars of this generation, who took the former's style, added a little hardcore punk and breakdowns and made something new and immensely popular.
It may be an odd combo, but it is one that is more than justified, letting two generations collide with another young band, The Devil Wears Prada, falling in tow as support.
