When long-running groove rockers Clutch recently hinted at some upcoming Canadian tour dates, we didn't realize they would be part of a new, diverse, and fairly ass-kicking touring metal mini-fest. As it turns out, they are, and the tour is going to be hitting Canada in September and October.
The 2010 Black Label Berzerkus is a festival created by Black Label Society front-man/ex-Ozzy guitarist/impressive user of cuss words Zakk Wylde and features BLS headlining with their Southern-fried metal, Clutch and Finnish melodic speed/black metal band Children of Bodom sharing the main support slot (both were handpicked by Wylde), as well openers 2Cents.
Full dates for the tour can be found here, but we'll put the Canadian dates below.
Black Label Society's first new album in four years, Order of the Black, will be released on August 10 on E1 Music, which makes BLS label-mates with Fraggle Rock. Which makes us very happy.
