Gatecreeper And Exhumed Announce Co-Headlining U.S. Tour

As far as death metal albums we're excited to hear this year, the new offerings by Arizona's Gatecreeper and the Bay Area's Exhumed are definitely up there. Now, as if those crushing new records weren't enough, the two death metal acts have announced a co-headlining U.S. tour, with Oakland's Necrot and Texan hardcore crew Judiciary filling out the bill.

The trek kicks off in Texas on Halloween night and heads in a loop east and north through the States, ending with what will no doubt be an absolutely bananas show in Las Vegas. Our U.S. team is especially excited for the Brooklyn Bazaar stop on November 12 and the live-rotting night it will provide them.
