Jasta + Code Orange Added to Anthrax + Killswitch Engage Co-Headlining Tour
Before 2016 came to an end, New York thrash vets Anthrax and metalcore legends Killswitch Engage announced a co-headlining tour with The Devil Wears Prada providing direct support each night along the 27 city 'Killthrax' trek. It just got even better as Jasta and Code Orange have been added to the bill, splitting up the dates between the two.
Jasta, of course, is the solo outfit from Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta. They'll be featured on nine of the dates towards the beginning of the jaunt, so check listings below carefully. "I rarely get to tour with Jasta and since the rest of my year is booked up with Hatebreed tours, I jumped at the chance to hit the road and debut some new Jasta songs with some of my favorite people in metal," commented the frontman. "Not only is the tour hitting some of my favorite cities to play, the lineup offers something for every generation of metal and hardcore fan. Come out early and get the pit started with us!"
He'll be backed by some familiar faces with Charlie Bellmore (Kingdom of Sorrow, Kings & Liars) handling guitar duties, his brother Nicky Bellmore on drums (Toxic Holocaust, Kingdom of Sorrow), bassist Chris Beaudette (Kingdom of Sorrow, Entierro - who recently landed former Fates Warning axeman Victor Arduini) and one additional axeman yet to be announced.
Code Orange will be bringing their brand of metallic hardcore to the stage, touting their newest album, Forever. Jasta will leave the tour on April 9 and Code Orange will jump on the next night and finish out the trek. The tour comes to an end on May 7.
