As previously reported, MACHINE HEAD, TRIVIUM, DRAGONFORCE and ARCH ENEMY are teaming up for the The Black Crusade European tour in November/December.

Machine Head's frontman Robb Flynn had this to say about the impending tour: "?We'?re so god-damned jacked-up to do this! It?'s going to be completely fucking sick! We cannot wait to plunder all of the vodka in all your towns and see our beer-breathed brethren pillaging along side us. We?re stoked to be sharing stages and brown-eyes with our boys in Trivium once again and are looking forward to hanging out with all the other bands.?

Meanwhile, Trivium's Matt Heafy is equally as excited: "?It'?s going to be a really amazing show for the fans. Rarely is there a tour where every single band is such a dominating force in the music world. Machine Head have always been revolutionary in bringing monumental albums every damn time they put one out; Dragonforce are sweeping (literally and guitar-atively) the entire world with their lightning fast precision and incredibly memorable tracks; and Arch Enemy are queen and kings of a metal capable of being so brutal and heavy, yet so melodic and catchy. It's great to look at this line-up purely as a music fan and know that us Triviums are gonna have a fantastic time ourselves, being able to watch some of our favorite bands who also happen to be some of our best friends in the metal world.?
