Comments:
UPDATE: Decapitated has dropped off the tour as they are currently incarcerated due to allegations of kidnapping and gang rape which you can get details about here.
Polish death metal band Decapitated are returning to tour the US and they’re playing with a couple of deathcore bands in Thy Art Is Murder and Fallujah. For some reason the hipster black metal band Ghost Bath was added to this bill, which seems totally out of place but hey, maybe they’ll make some new fans.

Nailbomb was formed in the early 90s by Max Cavalera (then of Sepultura, now of Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy) and Alex Newport (of Fudge Tunnel). The side project only released one album, Point Blank, which was released in 1994. On this tour Max Cavalera and Soulfly will be performing that album in its entirety (give it a listen here).
