The “Death To All Tour” has expanded with new dates and the addition of Atheist as an opener on select stops. Speaking on the opportunity Atheist frontman Kelly Shaefer offered:
“We could not be more honored to be direct support on the upcoming Death To All Tour! It’s gonna be a blast to gather with all our old and dear friends form the early days of extreme metal, and also to help celebrate the music from the godfather of Death metal, Chuck Schuldiner.
Any fan of Death/extreme metal, I’m telling you now, sell everything to attend one or more of these shows. It’s going to be legendary and you can bet on that! We will be doing the Orlando, Atlanta and Dallas shows, so we hope to see all the Southern metal-heads out in force.
Thanks to Anton and the organizers for asking us to be a part of this monumental moment in extreme metal history! See you all there!”
The “Death To All Tour” will see various former musicians from Death uniting to perform the bands songs. The trek is intended to celebrate late Death frontman/guitarist Chuck Schuldiner and raise awareness for Sweet Relief.
