Tesseract Announces Fall Tour w/The Contortionist For 2015

They’re one of the bands whose name I have heard going around for a couple of years now and while I have lightly touched upon their sounds and enjoyed what I have heard; I still need to give a proper examination and lengthy look into their offerings. Friends of mine in the conventional sense as well as in Metal Music Scribedom all seem greatly impressed by what they do and since numerous folks in that pool of folks have opinions I value, I best get myself moving about them. That said, the band has just released a press release about an upcoming tour with support from The Contortionist so I am sharing that whole lengthy release and tour poster with you to indulge in. I will return at the close with some views of my own. See you in a few.

Dream Theater’s “Along For The Ride” Tour 2014

Progressive Metal giants Dream Theater have announced their “Along For The Ride Tour” which will hit numerous regions in early 2014. The show will be in the “An Evening With” format which means fans shall get a two full sets of the bands material and no opening act. Those types of tours were always fascinating to me since the fan got the most out of the bands catalog as opposed to their having a couple of well-deserving lead off acts.
