WINDS OF PLAGUE Announces Details For NEVER SAY DIE! Headlining Tour

December 11, 2009

Los Angeles metallers WINDS OF PLAGUE continue their extensive worldwide touring schedule in support of "The Great Stone War" with another headlining trek, dubbed the Never Say Die! tour. This massive, month-long trek, which kicks off on January 23, also features Century Media labelmates DESPISED ICON alongside FOR TODAY, STRAY FROM THE PATH and THE WORLD WE KNEW.

Commented vocalist Johnny: "We have just passed the halfway mark on the 'California Love' tour and already the tour has proven to be a massive success, as well as a very memorable moment in WINDS OF PLAGUE history.

"This has been our first sole headliner, which is nerve-eracking in itself, but the WINDS OF PLAGUE soldiers have been strong in numbers and have been some of the most insane shows we have played to date. It's been awesome to get back into some smaller clubs that we have played while we were coming up and re-visit our roots.

"This tour also marks the debut of keyboardist Alana Potocnik to the band. Alana's positive attitude and hungry work ethic is a breath of fresh air, with her talent and creative writing abilities new material will be nothing short of epic.

"With our return to Southern California for the December Decimation Fest still on the horizon, the 'California Love' tour will go down in our history as some of the best times of our lives and we thank our fans for making it all possible.

"We look forward to taking some time off for the holidays and then 2010 is the year of WINDS OF PLAGUE. It all starts with another headliner as we prepare for the Never Say Die! tour in January with the mighty DESPISED ICON, FOR TODAY and STRAY FROM THE PATH. We promise you it will be a night to remember, so check out our MySpace page and be sure to come out, get sweaty and party your ass off."

Added DESPISED ICON vocalist Alex Erian: "We've played some of our favourite shows ever on the last two Never Say Die! tours in Europe and are stoked to be part of its first annual U.S. edition.

"We haven't toured with WINDS OF PLAGUE in over two years already. It'll be good to hang out and rock out with those dudes again!

"Can't wait to be back in the U.S. See you guys soon!"

Marco Walzel of Avocado Booking commented: "We really wanted to create an exciting tour package; that is why we created and developed the Never Say Die! brand. We wanted a tour that could feature the most diverse and powerful bands from all over the world under one banner. Its focus has always been about the music, the bands and the lifestyle that comes hand in hand with the more aggressive side of the punk rock and metal spectrum. It's never sought to lose touch with its core audience and we've always strived to give great value for money to some of the most mind-blowing packages that we could possibly put together.

"It's been a big success for us, growing and growing in Europe over the past few years and we're really excited at where Never Say Die! is heading, with the New Year giving way to its first overseas appearance in the USA."
