Frazer Harrison / Ethan Miller / Kevin Winter, Getty Images / Liz Ramanand, Loudwire It’s time to get those devil horns out of hibernation and get ready to rock again in 2013. Some of metal’s top acts are making sure to get things cranked back up to 11 in clubs, theaters and arenas over the next few months and we want to know which tour that you most want to check out. Veteran rockers Anthrax will team up with thrash icons Exodus , High on Fire , Municiple Waste and Holy Grail on the Metal Alliance trek, but they have plenty of competition for your metal attention. Cradle of Filth will headline a package tour featuring The Faceless , The Decapitated and The Agonist . Meanwhile, In Flames will get things rolling again by headlining a multi-band trek that also features Demon Hunter , All Shall Perish and Battlecross. And Hatebreed ‘s forthcoming trek finds the band sharing the bill with Shadows Fall , Dying Fetus and The Contortionist . There are also a number of bills that feature two main acts. For instance, The Devil Wears Prada and As I Lay Dying connect for a pretty impressive double bill of blistering licks. Down and Warbeast figure to be one of the hot tickets of early 2013. Every Time I Die has booked dates with the Acacia Strain . Thrash metal vets Testament team up with Overkill . And for those who like their metal a little proggy, then check out the Coheed & Cambria / Between the Buried and Me double bill. Plus, 2012′s breakout band Gojira is hitting the road with Devin Townsend. In addition, the always excellent Meshuggah are crossing the pond for another North American tour to kick off the year. So there you have it — some of the bigger metal tours kicking off 2013. Here’s your chance to tell us which trek you’ll be lining up to get tickets for.

November 27th, 2012 Metalkult Rise Deathcore act the Acacia Strain have been forced to leave their co-headlining slot on their tour with Veil of Maya after a “serious” van accident injured band members and crew. The Acacia Strain have just informed fans through their Facebook page that a van accident has ended their run on the current tour. The band was scheduled to play another handful of dates with co-headliners Veil of Maya, along with Upon a Burning Body, Volumes and Twitching Tongues. Although this comes as bad news for fans, the good news is that nobody was killed or extensively injured by the crash. The Acacia Strain posted the following statement: It comes with heavy hearts and sadness to announce that The Acacia Strain will be leaving their Co-Headlining tour with Veil Of Maya due to a serious van accident. Members of the band and crew are being treated for minor injuries, nothing serious. Frontman, Vincent Bennet commented: Canceling tour dates is something we hate doing but we will make it up to all of you. We are all very grateful to be alive and will see you in the New Year.” As of now, the band is still scheduled to be a part of Hatebreed ‘s 2013 European ‘Persistence’ tour, which also features Agnostic Front and H20, among other strong opening acts.
The Acacia Strain Enter Death Match Hall of Fame
November 13th, 2012 Metalkult Rise Congratulations are in order for the Acacia Strain . Their continued success in the Death Match has brought the Mass. band to the Hall of Fame after four consecutive victories. The Acacia Strain and their track ‘Victims of the Cave’ first took on Parkway Drive to capture their first win, and soon after put grind greats Pig Destroyer to rest in Round Two. Other victims of the song include Fear Factory, who put up a respectable and mechanical fight, and Ill Nino who were the final act to be stricken down by the Acacia Strain. Having achieved four consecutive wins, we at Loudwire now declare ‘Victims of the Cave’ as immortal in our Death Match Hall of Fame. The Acacia Strain are now one of only seven bands to have made it to the sacred Hall, which also is home to bands such as Gojira, Meshuggah and Katatonia. Now that ‘Victims of the Cave’ has been retired, we’ve got two new bands entering the Death Match in our next round, and it’s one of our heaviest contests yet between two true metal legends. Get ready for Destruction vs. Napalm Death. The Acacia Strain, ‘Victims of the Cave’
