DEVILDRIVER, EMMURE, DESPISED ICON Confirmed For 'Thrash And Burn Tour'

May 13, 2009

Santa Barbara, California's DEVILDRIVER will headline the second annual Thrash And Burn Tour, which is set to run from July 24 through August 30, 2009. Support on the trek will come from EMMURE, DESPISED ICON, MY CHILDREN MY BRIDE, VEIL OF MAYA, FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS, OCEANO, PERIPHERY and RED RIVER REVIVAL. Several stops on the tour will see the addition of a special guest band, for a total of 10 national acts each night.

The Thrash And Burn Tour will showcase a diverse mix of underground metal bands who draw from decades of thrash, punk, and hardcore to mold their 21st century sounds.

Thrash And Burn Tour organizer Mike Mowery comments: "Once again, we aim to provide an inexpensive day of metal, thrash, and hardcore. We've chosen bands that compliment each other very well, and we've diversified the lineup so there's something for headbangers, shredders, moshers, and scenesters. Last year proved that a club tour of relevant, underground metal acts is something the fans want. Almost all of the bands on the tour have new releases coming out this summer, and that will provide their fans an opportunity to see their new songs performed live for the first time."

DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara had this to say: "The time could not be better for DEVILDRIVER and Thrash And Burn to come together to support the UNDERGROUND! We are elated to bring our first full headlining tour of major markets and combine it with Thrash And Burn's pick of new, up-and-coming, heavy bands. Affordable tickets, combined a full package of amazing bands with a wide range of different styles and sounds, will make for an insanely killer time for those who come out to the shows. Raise your glasses; this will be a tour to remember! Hail."

Metal icon Philip H. Anselmo (PANTERA, DOWN),himself a veteran of countless summer metal tours, has given Thrash And Burn his stamp of approval: "On behalf of Housecore Records, I want everyone to get their collective asses to Thrash And Burn as early as possible to catch RED RIVER REVIVAL rock out and stay all the way through, late, and throw down with Dez F. and DEVILDRIVER. SUPPORT THE UNDERGROUND MUSIC SCENE — AND watch for RED RIVER REVIVAL's debut CD — available only through Housecore Records."
