Traduza\\ BEHEMOTH, GOATWHORE, 1349 Set For 'Metal Alliance Tour'

The Metal Alliance Tour is back for their fourth ferocious year of wrecking heads. Festival organizers Dan Rozenblum and Steve Seabury of High River Entertainment are proud to welcome to American soil the mighty BEHEMOTH as their 2014 headliner. This will be the first time in over a decade that BEHEMOTH will tour North America in support of their new record, "The Satanist", to be released on April 2 through Metal Blade Records. The tour will be rounded out by New Orleans natives GOATWHORE, 1349, INQUISITION and the buzz worthy unsigned act BLACK CROWN INITIATE.

"This tour is no exception for our love of all things heavy," states Rozenblum. "This tour is for metal fans by metal fans," adds Seabury. "This bill explores our appreciation for the dark and black side of metal. BEHEMOTH have been a favorite of ours and we are stoked to have them headline the fourth edition of the Metal Alliance Tour!"

The Metal Alliance Tour will make the trek across United States and Canada starting in April and running through the start of May.

"We are immensely proud to be headlining the Metal Alliance Tour," comments BEHEMOTH's Adam "Nergal" Darski. "It's a privilege and we're going to make sure that this tour and 'The Satanist' that BEHEMOTH is making an ultimate statement! It has been a long trek from when we landed in U.S. for the first time in 2003. It took us a decade to get to this place we are now. We are coming back, more determined and hungrier than ever, ready to reclaim the throne!"

GOATWHORE will return to the road this fall in support of HIGH ON FIRE. The trek will run from November 15 through December 22, with PRIMATE (featuring Kevin Sharp of BRUTAL TRUTH, Bill Kelliher of MASTODON, and more) on select dates in November, and CORROSION OF CONFORMITY on select dates in December.

GOATWHORE's song "Diabolical Submergence Of Rebirth", from the "A Haunting Curse" album, will be heard in the upcoming season of HBO's "Treme". The third season of the show will begin airing on September 23. The track will appear in episode #7, which is currently scheduled to air on November 4.

GOATWHORE's new album, "Blood For The Master", sold around 3,100 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at No. 4 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. The band's previous albm, 2009's "Carving Out The Eyes Of God", opened with around 2,700 units to land at No. 16 on the Heatseekers chart.
