Unholy Alliance Tour: Chapter III Announced, Slayer & Trivium + Mastodon

The European leg of the mighty “Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III” has been confirmed to kick off in Manchester on October 27 and will play nearly two dozen shows over a four-week period. This third installment of what has been hailed as “the heaviest, darkest tour of the year” will feature Slayer, Trivium, and Mastodon. An additional opening act will be announced shortly. While Slayer will close the shows, they will be co-billed with Trivium on the UK dates.

Matthew Heafy, Trivium’s frontman commented, “Trivium is honored that Slayer has invited us to tour with them on the ‘Unholy Alliance Tour.’ All of us in Trivium are diehard Slayer fans and we look up to them for their music and longevity. They are one of the true pillars of heavy metal and for us to share stages with them is both an honor and a privilege. We’ve also known the Mastodon guys for a few years and we’re definitely looking forward to hanging with them as well.” Guitarist Corey Beaulieu continues, “I can’t wait to get out on tour with Slayer so we can watch them crush every night and then have the opportunity to share many drinks with them and Mastodon after the shows! I better get my liver in shape… it’s going to be awesome!”

The Unholy Alliance tour first launched in Autumn 2004 with a European edition that featured Slipknot, Slayer, Mastodon and Hatebreed. The venture was so successful, the first North American trek, dubbed “The Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter II: Preaching to The Perverted,” kicked off in Summer 2006 with Slayer, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, Mastodon, and Thine Eyes Bleed stomping and screaming its way to 30 U.S. and Canadian cities. The European run of “Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter II” took place in Autumn 2006, featuring Slayer, In Flames, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, and Thine Eyes Bleed.
