THE BEAST

It has been widely known for several weeks that Slipknot will be hitting the road this summer with Volbeat, Gojira and Behemoth, although none of the bands have yet to announce it officially.

This past Friday, Slipknot launched a timer on their website counting down to Monday, March 4th. The site also features a widget that traces the visitor’s location and spits out a distance and direction, leading many to conjecture the provided coordinates correspond to venues that will be revealed tomorrow.

Now the Facebook page WolverineKills has revealed what they claim to be a full list of cities and venues on the tour. The site hasn’t revealed their source, but Ghost Cult Mag notes that WolverineKills has an excellent track record of accurate tour routing reveals. Here are those cities and venues:

We can expect that dates will be revealed tomorrow. It’s possible we get an album announcement as well, with Slipknot’s newly revamped website also lending hints to the title We Are Not Your Kind (a line from “All Out Life,” a single the band released late last year) and hinting at an August 9th release date. Stay tuned. - MetalSucks
