Lamb of God + Mastodon Announce Tour Playing 2004 Albums in Full (‘Ashes of the Wake’ + ‘Leviathan’), Kerry King + Malevolence to Support
Lamb of God and Mastodon have announced a co-headlining tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of the classic albums Ashes of the Wake and Leviathan, respectively. Kerry King and Malevolance will serve as support, while Unearth will appear at select stops.
Both albums were released on Aug. 31, 2004, so it makes the anniversary sentiment even sweeter. It was a pivotal year for metal, not only for the metalcore breakout but the continued rise of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal on the whole.
The two groups even teased the trek on social media, dubbing it "AshesOfLeviathan." A compilation video shows old footage of Lamb of God and Mastodon talking about the records.
The pair of releases represent a high mark of that era and helped established both Lamb of God and Mastodon as the future of metal.
Currently, Lamb of God are on the road supporting Pantera for the rest of February.
Kerry King, meanwhile, announced his debut solo album, From Hell I Rise, yesterday. He also unveiled the band lineup and the first single, "Idle Hands."
