Four Great Tours Coming Later This Year

First Children of Bodom are coming later this month with The Black Dahlia Murder and Skeletonwitch which of course, I'm passing on since I've already seen two out of three bands but trust me when I say that CoB and BDM are both fantastic live.

Then in November Hypocrisy are finally returning to North America after a strange, possibly UFO-related disappearance. I don't know how they returned and they personally have no memory of the event but it's fucking Hypocrisy in North America which is completely, utterly worth it. And they're touring with Blackguard who seem to have the perfect booking agent since they're getting on all of the right tours.

And ending this year in December, Marduk have finally gotten their visas and are touring with Nachtmystium and Mantic Ritual. (I give Nachtmystium five dates before they drop off the tour for whatever reason.) I'll probably go to this since I payed to see Marduk and tickets are only $15, making them even cheaper than The Haunted were earlier this year.

And all this time, GWAR, Job for a Cowboy and The Red Chord are going to be touring for the rest of the year; starting now and continuing through December. It's not worth posting dates since I can't find one site that has the entire list of dates, but it's worth checking to see if they're coming to your town.
