Destruction Tour: Heathen To Replace Destroyer 666
Bay Area thrashers Heathen will be replacing Deströyer 666 on the upcoming North American Reckoning tour headlined by German thrash masters Destruction. Deströyer 666 have had to cancel their involvement with the tour due to an unavoidable personal commitment.
Bassist & vocalist Schmier comments on the new touring bill, which still includes Warbeast from Texas:
“We are really happy to announce our old friends Heathen as a replacement for Deströyer 666! These Bay Area thrashers are one of my favorite thrash bands of all time and we will be sharing the European stages with them in some weeks on the Killfest tour. It’s fantastic to have an opportunity to tour with old friends on both sides of the globe! German & Bay Area Thrash together on tour – how much more kick-ass can it get?! I can’t wait to hit the road again now, hope to see you all out there!”
Destruction will be touring in support of their new studio album, Day Of Reckoning, due out in the U.S. and Canada on March 8th, 2011 and on February 18th in Europe.
