Joining them on this wing of their European tour will be UK thrash stalwarts Shrapnel, Belgian speed metal maniacs Evil Invaders and Finnish label brothers LOST SOCIETY.
Mastermind and DESTRUCTION vocalist/bassist Schmier had this to say about the forthcoming tour:
“After several journeys around the world and great festival tours, we are finally back with a European headlining tour! And we’re looking forward to presenting a “BEST of 30 YEARS” without any curfew, we could hardly play at any festival.
With LOST SOCIETY & EVIL INVADERS we got two aspiring and sensational opening acts with us, to heat up the audience very night!
This generation clash will serve you the finest and most excessive Thrash & Speed attack yet to be seen! I hope you are still very HUNGRY!!!!”
LOST SOCIETY frontman and guitarist Samy Elbanna added: “We’re beyond stoked to pack our gear and head back around Europe to cause mayhem!!
