Anthrax and Killswitch Engage have announced “The Killthrax Tour,” a North American co-headliner which will kick off on March 29 in Montclair, N.J. and will end on May 7 in Boston, M.A. Presented by SiriusXM, the bands will be supported by The Devil Wears Prada.
“Anthrax and Killswitch will be a really good blend for fans,” commented Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante. “We both play metal, but we play two different forms of the genre. I think fans of both bands are in for a ‘Total Explosion of the Senses.'”
Anthrax bassist Frank Bello added: “This Anthrax/KSE tour is a powerful ball of energy ready to unleash the metal in the U.S.”
“Anthrax and Killswitch — KillThrax! Holy crap!,” exclaimed Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian. “I am so excited about these upcoming shows with our old friends Killswitch Engage. Get out your pit pants and start stretching now for all the glorious action and fun!”
Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach also added: “We are so stoked to tour with thrash legends Anthrax! We are sure this will bring a powerhouse of a live show with the combination of both bands. This is, hands down, the most excited we’ve been to tour alongside a band in a long while. This will be one you won’t want to miss. KillThrax is coming for you!!!!”
