Featuring the likes of Emmure, Five Finger Death Punch, Pop Evil, and God Forbid the Trespass America Festival was recently announced. Complete with a press release that boasts it to be a “festival set on revitalizing the metal scene with some of the most current and credible bands in hard rock/metal.” Okay, so it does have Trivium and Battlecross, two fairly credible bands in the metal world, but overall this thing has a glaring “WTF?!” stamp all over it. There is nothing “revitalizing” about a festival such as this. When there’s festivals that have been presented by Decibel and Metalsucks with real credible bands, and bands like Anthrax, Iced Earth, and Iron Maiden touring why would one want to spend hard earned dollars on this hogwash? Let’s not forget the Heritage Hunter Tour either featuring Opeth, Mastodon, and Ghost. There’s so many great tours and festivals this year that I have to ask, why? Why is this tour happening? Ohhhhh, Metal Hammer is presenting it, you say? Makes perfect sense now!
If you’re actually all in an excited fluster over this tour I’m not exactly sure how you landed here at Metal Delirium, but if this is your cup of tea the dates will be listed below. As with any story we run even touching on Five Finger Death Punch I’m sure the “knuckleheads” will come out of the woodwork yet again only to prove that the stereotypes surrounding the average 5FDP fan are in fact true.
If you attend one of these dates try not to think too hard about all the great shows you’re missing.
