As we recently alluded to, Judas Priest, Motörhead, Heaven and Hell (Dio-fronted Black Sabbath), and Testament are rumored to be embarking on a massive tour de force in the US later this summer. Nothing 'official' has been announced yet, but the tour's been confirmed by several sources including Testament's Chuck Billy at their recent NYC gig.
Obviously, these shows will be at those massive arenas and amphitheaters with names like Such-and-Such Bank Center and So-and-So Automotive Company Pavilion, so let us give you that lineup once more to revive your enthusiasm:
• TestamentDates (rumored, so far) are as follows:
• Heaven and Hell (that's Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice for those keeping score at home)
• Motörhead
• Judas Priest

In almost-equally-but-not-quite-because-it's-really-apples-and-oranges awesome news, animated death metallers Dethklok (yes!) will be touring this summer with Soilent Green (meh) and Chimaira (Zzzz...). This will be the general public's first chance to catch a glimpse of William Murderface and the entire cartoon crew live and in the 'flesh,' as the bogus band's debut trek last year was only a brief college tour.

So much good touring! Obviously, Judas Priest n' Friends is the must see. Glad to finally have an opportunity to check out Intronaut. Wonder how Zimmer's Hole isn't on this Dethklok tour.....is Hoglan going to drum for Dethklok?
