SEPULTURA To Perform Songs From 'Beneath', 'Arise', 'Chaos A.D.' On 'Thrashfest Classics' Tour

August 20, 2011

Brazilian/American thrashers SEPULTURA have been confirmed as the co-headliner of the Thrashfest Classics European tour, set to take place in November/December. The band's setlist will consist of material exclusively from the "Beneath The Remains", "Arise" and "Chaos A.D." albums. The trek's other co-headliner, EXODUS, will perform songs from the "Bonded By Blood", "Pleasures Of The Flesh" and "Fabulous Disaster"; DESTRUCTION will play tracks from "Sentence Of Death" and "Infernal Overkill"; and HEATHEN will perform selections from "Breaking The Silence" and "Victims Of Deception".

Commented the tour's promoter, Rock The Nation: "Back to the Eighties, back to the roots! Tour promoter Rock The Nation turns back the time for you headbangers, catapulting you back into the glorious Eighties the unforgettable days of prime for thrash metal with a phenomenal package of top acts. Hardly another period of time carries so much metal history with it than this one. Rough, rapid and impulsive sounds dominated the whole music-industry at that time. Breath-taking masterpieces of metallic art, which still enjoy authority and significance these days, emerged out of the creative urge of charismatic musicians and bands. Now the time is right to let the flair, the feeling and the sounds rise again! Thrashfest Classics is a pure celebration for the high-culture of thrash metal. Some of the most influential combos will perform their cult albums in full length."
