Danish metal rock ‘n’ rollers VOLBEAT have tapped Hank Shermann of MERCYFUL FATE to play guitar on their their upcoming North American tour as part of “Gigantour”.
Shermann most recently shared the stage with METALLICA at one of four intimate shows which took place at the Fillmore in San Francisco as part of the week-long celebration of METALLICA‘s 30th anniversary as a band for fan club members only.
“It’s a true honor getting to work with Hank, whose guitar work has inspired all three bandmembers long before VOLBEAT was formed,” says VOLBEAT frontman Michael Poulsen. “I’m very thankful that Hank has the time to join us on Gigantour in his busy schedule.”
The multi-artist Gigantour bill — with metal heavyweights MOTÖRHEAD, VOLBEAT and LACUNA COIL all personally picked by Dave Mustaine of headliners MEGADETH — will kick off on January 26 in Camden, New Jersey.
Gigantour was founded by Mustaine in 2005 and was last in North America in May 2008. Source: Blabbermouth.net
