The sweet thing about this tour is that all of the bands are on record label Nuclear Blast, which as we all know, pretty much has the heaviest damned bands in the world.

Obviously Vader is crushing, but if you’re like me and you haven’t heard too much about the other bands on this tour, I’ve provided links to listen to them and a quick description:

Vader - Death Metal from Poland (duh). http://www.myspace.com/vader

Decrepit Birth – Death Metal from Northern California. http://www.myspace.com/decrepitbirth

The Amenta – Black / Ambient metal from Australia. http://www.myspace.com/theamenta

Warbringer – Thrash metal from Southern California. http://www.myspace.com/warbringer

Augury – Death metal from Montreal. http://www.myspace.com/augury

Swashbuckle – Pirate Metal (as if you couldn’t tell by the name) from New Jersey. http://www.myspace.com/swashbuckle

Check them out November 25 at the Grand Ballroom in San Francisco.
