SLAYER ANNOUNCES WINTER 2007 HEADLINE TOUR WITH DIRECT SUPPORT UNEARTH!

“Slayer is one of the most influential bands of all time in the metal genre. We get to tour with those guys and bring our brand of metal to their stage. It is an honor, privilege and a god damn milestone for us." Trevor Phipps of Unearth

This monster of a tour will hit the road on January 24th for a four-week North American tour. The dates are in support of the Unearth’s latest album, “III In The Eyes Of Fire" (Terry Date, Soundgarden, White Zombie, Pantera, Deftones 8/06). “III In The Eyes Of Fire” tipped the Billboard Top 200 Chart debuting at # 35and was Unearth’s first new studio album since 2004’s critically acclaimed Metal Blade Records debut titled, "The Oncoming Storm."

“UNEARTH leaves no stone unturned in creating a monstrous album that incorporates elements of everyone from IRON MAIDEN (guitar harmonies) to the best of the Swedish melodic death metal bands”. Blabbermouth.com

“This is easily a front running candidate for Metal Album of the Year.” Blender.com


“Unearth is actually as dark, hard and heavy as they claim it is… utilitarian metal at its finest.” Decibel

“The Metal progenitors hit back with the brilliant and brutal III In The Eyes Of Fire.” Guitar World”

“A Stunning accomplishment, one that repeatedly pushes the boundaries of heaviness, yet contains enough sonic and lyrical layers to give the songs depth and staying power.” Revolver Magazine

“The punishing metal quintette from Mass- fans of seven string guitars- made lots of new fans on Ozzfest this summer: It’s like Anthrax and Megadeth rolled into one. It’s everything you want in a great metal song” Cory Taylor of Slipknot in Rolling Stone Magazine

The last three years of touring has transformed Unearth into the most powerful live show to see, attracting Slayer to ask them to be direct support for this upcoming tour. Unearth has shared the stage with Black Label Society on Ozzfest 2006, Slipknot, Sounds Of The Underground 2005, Lamb Of God, Killswitch Engage among others; and has delivered their metal at a fever pitch on recent sold- out tours of Australia, Japan, and Europe as well

Unearth will have a new video, their second one off “III In The Eyes Of Fire” for the track “Sanctity of Brothers” produced by Darren Doane (Every Time I Die, Lamb Of God)
