SLAYER, MEGADETH, TESTAMENT: First 'American Carnage' Dates Released

November 16, 2009

As BLABBERMOUTH.NETfirst reported on November 6 (before it was falsely denied by MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover),SLAYER, MEGADETH and TESTAMENT will team up for a U.S. tour, dubbed "American Carnage", in January/February 2010. So far the following dates have been released:

Jan. 21 - Cow Palace - Daly City, CA
Jan. 31 - Municipal Auditorium - Nashville, TN
Feb. 04 - Roy Wilkins Auditorium at St. Paul RiverCentre - St. Paul, MN

More shows will be announced soon.

SLAYER, MEGADETH and TESTAMENT will also take part in the rescheduled "Canadian Carnage" dates between February 16 and February 23. The trek, which was originally due to begin on November 8, was called off after SLAYER frontman Tom Araya was ordered to undergo an immediate surgical procedure for a back injury, thought to be related to his on-stage activity. SLAYER was also forced to postpone its previously announced European tour that had been set to kick off on November 18 in the U.K. Araya has been under the care of a specialist, and while he has already made substantial improvement, he is continuing on with doctor-prescribed treatment. The tour has been rescheduled to kick off on March 7 in Manchester, England.

MEGADETH kicked off a U.S. tour with MACHINE HEAD and SUICIDE SILENCE on November 14 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
