Skipping Kansas: Summer Slaughter (again)

After a complete (or near) sell-out at the Bottleneck back in 2007, Summer Slaughter, for the second year in a row, is skipping Kansas (and Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska...wtf?). Closest date is going to be either Denver or Minnesota. The tour returns this year with, in my opinion, the best line-up yet, featuring Necrophagist and Suffocation with support from Ensiferum, Dying Fetus, and Wichita's very own ORIGIN! Write angry e-mails for this one, folks.

Summer Slaughter 2009 Line-up Revealed?

NECROPHAGIST
SUFFOCATION
ENSIFERUM
DARKEST HOUR
WINDS OF PLAGUE
DYING FETUS
BORN OF OSIRIS
ORIGIN
AFTER THE BURIAL
BLACKGUARD

That's right, Kansas's own Origin (possibly the best technical/brutal death metal band the US has to offer right now) is gonna be on this mofo. Besides from Winds Of Plague, this looks lile the best Summer Slaughter yet. :D

Pillage the Village!

This right here, kids, is going to be a hell of a show. I've seen Necrophagist twice and Dying Fetus and BtM once, and they all put on a fantastic show. Too bad I won't be here. :( School nights and 3 hour drives don't mix well. Someone go to this for me!
