Thread: Sepultura, Death Angel, Krisiun and Havok to Tour U.S.

SEPULTURA will join forces with DEATH ANGEL, KRISIUN and HAVOK for a North American tour in April/May. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.

SEPULTURA played its first show with new drummer Eloy Casagrande (GLÓRIA, ANDRÉ MATOS) on November 25 in Lichtenfels, Germany.

Casagrande joined SEPULTURA as the replacement for Jean Dolabella, who left the band because he could no longer handle being away from home for long periods of time.

Eloy is a 20-year-old drum prodigy from São Paulo, Brazil who won the Modern Drummer "Undiscovered Drummer" contest as a teenager in 2006.

Dolabella left SEPULTURA after a five-year run of relentless touring and two studio albums. He joined SEPULTURA in 2006 following the departure of the band's original drummer, Igor Cavalera.

SEPULTURA is touring in support of its 12th studio album, and Nuclear Blast Records debut, "Kairos", which hit stores in July 2011.

DEATH ANGEL will release a DVD entitled "A Thrashumentary" in the spring. According to a press release, "A Thrashumentary" is a combination live video and documentary, all wrapped up in one thrashing DVD. The footage was directed by Tommy Jones (SOILWORK, KATAKLYSM) and mixed by Chris Clancy of The Studio. The film gives the viewer an in-depth look into one of the longest-running thrash acts out of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region known for turning out historic thrash bands such as METALLICA, TESTAMENT and EXODUS.

"Relentless Retribution", the latest album from DEATH ANGEL, sold 2,700 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 10 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. The band's previous album, "Killing Season", opened with around 2,300 units back in March 2008. This number was in line with the performance of its predecessor, "The Art of Dying", which registered a first-week sales tally of around 2,100 back in May 2004.

This sounds pretty cool.

Would be cool to see the two Brazilian beasts together, and the other two bands would rule.

I see Krisiun Thursday. Death Angel on Dokk'Em Open Air. Havok and Sepultura could take some longer...

I'd go for only Krisiun.

Krisiun is a band I could have seen often, but didn't. It's been 1997 I think

I never made it through kairos. Sepultura is a shell of its former self now. I would have seen them 15 years ago but now it's getting ridiculous.

Kairos was better than the last few albums by them but i agree with Ryan that this show would be epic if it featured the Cavalera brothers and they played all the old shit.
