Reanimated three years ago, the iconic »MTV Headbangers Ball Tour« is set to haunt European stages once again in November and December 2019! After delivering all out thrash metal 2018, the fourth edition of the tour is nothing short of a breath-taking death metal package: The 17-show run will be headlined by Canadian melodic death metal heavyweights KATAKLYSM, who will be taking part in the tour for the second time after joining ICED EARTH, ENSIFERUM and UNEARTH in 2016. Presenting not only hits from their latest offering »Meditations« (2018), the quartet featuring Maurizio Iacono will of course also add some old smashers to their set list. Next on the bill are Knoxville, TN based metal squad WHITECHAPEL, followed by KATAKLYSM‘s label mates, Italian symphonic death metal giants FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE who recently unleashed their fifth, chartbreaking studio album »Veleno« (May 24, 2019). Opening support on the run will come from UK death metal act DYSCARNATE. Death metal maniacs, you cannot miss out on this tour!

KATAKLYSM frontman Maurizio Iacano comments, “The campaign for »Meditations« has been incredible and what great way to finish it by headlining the »MTV Headbangers Ball Tour« across Europe with a killer and diverse line-up featuring WHITECHAPEL, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE and DYSCARNATE. KATAKLYSM has some of the wildest crowds in the world in Europe and we look forward to visiting you once more and laying down the KATAKLYSM hurricane, you know how we do it, let’s make it memorable, get your tickets fast!”

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE frontman Francesco Paoli adds, “We’re absolutely stoked to take part in this amazing tour. We’ll have the pleasure to perform some songs from our new album »Veleno« for the first time, and also come back to places we haven’t played for a very long time. The tour line-up is killer and extremely rich. We already shared the stage with all of these bands in the past and we do know they are, indeed, some of the best acts in today’s metal landscape. If you are a metal fan you don’t wanna miss this! We are ready, are you?”

»MTV Headbangers Ball« was broadcasted for the first time on April 18th, 1987 and quickly became one of the most popular shows on MTV. The show was on air for eight years in the USA and six years in Europe. Besides music videos, the show also featured interviews with bands as well as specials on particular acts or festivals. The “Triple Thrash Treat” section created a TV platform for more extreme forms of metal, a tradition continued by this series of live events. Just like the TV show, the festival tour aims at presenting the endless variety of metal music offering a platform for established artists as well as newcomers.

Jimmy Nedergaard comments:

“I’ve been a fan of HateSphere for a long time, so of course I had to audition.

Both their music and the energy they put in their work appeals to me, and our future plans for HateSphere are the same, so it seems obvious to me, to work and play with these guys.”

Hatesphere comments:

“Finding a new bass player showed not to be as easy, as we had hoped but our patience luckily paid off. Being a metal head but coming from a punk rock background, Jimmy fits our profile perfectly. He knows what he is going into, he shares our visions with the band, he has tried something different than metal but still has it deep in his heart, and last but not least he’s a great guy. Fitting in personally means a lot to us, so Jimmy’s age and experience has made him the perfect choice. We have already played our first live show with him, partied with him and involved him in the writing process of the new songs, so he has had a busy start – just as we want it.”
