The European leg of the mighty Unholy Alliance: Chapter III tour has been confirmed to kick off in Manchester, England on October 27th and will play nearly two dozen shows over a four-week period (initial itinerary below).

This third installment of what has been hailed as "the heaviest, darkest tour of the year," the Unholy Alliance: Chapter III tour will feature SLAYER, the undisputed kings of extreme speed/thrash metal, and two true princes of the genre, Trivium and MASTODON.

An opening act will be announced shortly.

While Slayer will close all of the shows, they will be co-billed with Trivium on the UK dates.

Matthew Heafy, Trivium's frontman commented, "Trivium is honored that Slayer has invited us to tour with them on the Unholy Alliance Tour. All of us in Trivium are diehard Slayer fans and we look up to them for their music and longevity. They are one of the true pillars of heavy metal and for us to share stages with them is both an honor and a privilege. We've also known the Mastodon guys for a few years and we're definitely looking forward to hanging with them as well."

Guitarist Corey Beaulieu continues, "I can't wait to get out on tour with Slayer so we can watch them crush every night and then have the opportunity to share many drinks with them and Mastodon after the shows! I better get my liver in shape. it's going to be awesome!"
