I wish. Do you realize it's been 7 years since Epitaph? 7 motherfucking years. They need to put out a new album before they do any sort of touring again.

According to the inside word from the Summer Slaughter boards, it's 100% certain that Whitechapel, Black Dahlia Murder, and Darkest Hour will all co-headline, with Whitechapel performing last I believe. Dying Fetus and Fleshgod Apocalypse are confirmed, and either 1349 or Skeletonwitch will be on it also.

With that many huge names, I can't picture there being any other bands. I'm really excited for this lineup, but pretty sad at the same time that they're ditching the traditional Death Metal lineup for the most part, excluding Dying Fetus. In my opinion, a tech death band should headline this tour, no matter what. Whitechapel as a headliner is gonna turn a LOT of people away from SS, and attract a different crowd. Isn't that what the other kiddie tours are for, like Atticus Metal and Thrash and Burn?

This x 1000. There are more than enough big deathcore tours out there.

7 years...son of a bitch. Why they do this?????

And HEY, Atticus Metal isn't always bad. Unearth headlined it last year. But I'll agree with you on Thrash and Burn..it's s shame they use the word "Thrash" for such a shitty tour.

I never said Atticus or Thrash were bad, just that they incorporate a specific genre of metal that isn't the genre Summer Slaughter set out to incorporate. Now that those types of bands are coming to define summer slaughter, fans of extreme and technical death metal feel very, very left out.

Seems like good tours and festivals are going down...Rocklahoma, which usually has some badass 80's bands, including Anthrax has switched over to Saving Abel, Theory of A Deadman shit...
