It will continue its trek across different cities in the U.S. including Los Angeles, Dallas, Austin, and New York before ending with festival sets at the Sonic Temple music festival in Columbus, Ohio alongside System of A Down, The Prodigy, and Ghost.

In a press release, Parkway Drive’s leading man Winston McCall stated that the tour is a landmark for the band, continuing to say “Having smashed our way across the land for over a decade now, it is a humbling and defining moment to be sharing this slot with true heavy metal icons and personal heroes.” Killswitch Engage’s Jesse Leach also made a statement about their tourmates, stating “Parkway Drive puts on an incredible live show and we are excited to combine forces and bring the energy every night to a town near you. I am absolutely certain fans of both bands are in for a hell of a time. This will be one for the memories for sure — let’s rage!” The band recently signed to Metal Blade Records, with a new album planned for 2019 release.
