Ya know, the phrase “best tour of the year” is thrown around entirely too often, but I can’t think of a tour that’s going to beat this for pure hardcore intensity. Converge, whose new album All We Love We Leave Behind will be coming out in October, will be teaming up with Torche and Kvelertak for a fall tour. Between the intensity of Converge, the sludgy poppiness of Torche and the full on black metal triple guitar rock attack of Kvelertak, this is a can’t miss tour that’s pretty much a dream lineup. Nails and Whips/Chains will be supporting on select dates. Here are the tour dates:
