All I can say is wow, what a tour package.


The inaugural Metalliance Tour — featuring HELMET, SAINT VITUS and CROWBAR —will run through the U.S. from March 17 through April 5.

Legendary alternative metal band HELMET will perform their 1992 platinum-selling release of "Meantime" in its entirety. The Interscope Records release gave the band mainstream attention with songs like "Unsung" and "In The Meantime". With the band's renewed success after getting back together in 2004, this tour will be one of the most anticipated of 2011.

One of the most highly influential doom metal bands in America, SAINT VITUS are regarded as one of the first bands of the genre starting out as early as the 1970s. The band featuring Scott "Wino" Weinrich, bassist Mark Adams, guitarist Dave Chandler and drummer Armando Acosta have influenced so many bands in doom and metal . "SAINT VITUS is more than ready to infect the Metalliance Tour! We've been wanting to do something like this for some time now...so prepare for destruction!!" says lead guitarist Dave Chandler. The band has done a handful of shows and some European festivals but this will be their first full U.S. tour in over a decade.

CROWBAR front man Kirk Windstein concludes, "Wow! This tour is gonna rule! I've loved HELMET since the beginning and loved ST. VITUS even longer. With the new CROWBAR record having hit the streets by then, look out! This bill will bring just what we need to crush each city with an avalanche of stylistic thunder!"
 
Had the chance to see Helmet, a few years back. Was able to get a picture with the band and signed cd. Great guys.

St. Virus is good, never got a chance to see them live.

Crowbar!!! Love this fucking band, Kirk is a monster!!!!
 
HELMET performing MEANTIME + Saint Vitus = MAJOR WIN!

Never thought I would get to see SV live. Very excited about this.

HELMET were great live the few times I have seen them back in the day.
