The thrash metal group revealed an October run of gigs at the immersive arena they’ve dubbed “Life Burns Faster” last week, confirming months of speculation. Fan club presales went open Monday, March 02, and the demand has been so great that six more shows are now scheduled to be announced. As of the time of publication, the precise itinerary for the new stops is yet unknown.
