What unites two huge crossover metal bands, brings along two of the best underground metal bands in the world and is almost as exciting as a SNAKES N' BARRELS reunion? How about a U.S. tour starring MASTODON, DETHKLOK, CONVERGE and HIGH ON FIRE? Some of the venues are bigger than what any of these bands usually play, so High on Fire and Converge may be able to add some Adult Swim viewers and Rolling Stone readers to their fanbases. Repeat: Some of the best live metal bands in the world, three of which have upcoming new albums (Converge, Dethklok, High on Fire) and the other still riding high on one of the year's best albums. Dates after the jump, k-k-k-yeahhhhhhh….
