The DEVIN TOWNSEND
PROJECT, KATATONIA to co-headline "Epic Kings & Idols Tour"
with PARADISE LOST as direct support
|
This September, the DEVIN
TOWNSEND PROJECT and KATATONIA will team-up for the "Epic Kings &
Idols Tour", a co-headlining North American run featuring PARADISE LOST
as direct support and STOLEN BABIES as openers (DTP and KATATONIA will
alternate in headlining each show).
In regards to this upcoming
trek, Devin Townsend comments: "So
after a break in which we've managed to finish the live DVDs from the London
shows ('By A Thread') as well as our surprisingly epic new record,
'Epicloud'...We're about to start getting into touring mode again, and it
pleases me to announce that we'll be with some wonderful bands this Fall. I
think this package pretty much covers the gamut of emotional heavy music, and
really...It'll be nice to share the stage with some passionate folks who live
for their music as much as we do. Again, we can't thank you enough for
supporting what we do and allowing us to play for you. It will be nice to
catch up, and we hope to see you there!"
KATATONIA's Anders Nystrom
adds: "A better
bill than this will be hard to find!"
Renowned
multi-instrumentalist Devin Townsend will be touring in support of DTP's

KATATONIA, the Swedish
purveyors of dark rock/metal return with their 9th studio album, Dead End Kings, on

acclaimed Night is the
New Day, as well as a leap forward into the unknown, Dead End Kings sees
the quintet conjure yet another milestone in audial melancholy and angst. For
