This fall marks one of the most sought after tours in recent memory. The incredible co-lining onslaught of Five Finger Death Punch<\/a>\u00a0and Volbeat<\/a> has been an idea in the works for some time, with both bands finally hitting the road together after countless scheduling issues, stopping in Albany. The timing could not be better, as both bands are the premier heavy metal bands on mainstream rock radio.<\/p>\n

Joining them on tour will be Nothing More<\/a>, the fast rising heavy groove metal project out of San Antonio, Texas. Chipping away at the game with their relentless barrage of work they finally have broken out with their single, \u201cThis is the Time(Ballast)\u201d hitting #2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart in 2014. As they self proclaim with the inherent question, \u201cNothing more?\u201d, they immediately answer back, \u201cAccept nothing less.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hellyeah<\/a>\u00a0have recently dropped their most defining album to date. Blood for Blood<\/em>\u00a0allows the average listener to really get the best interpretation of this \u2018supergroup\u2019, and gives the die hard fan a new outlook on this incredible band. Made up of seasoned veterans of the stage Chad Gray (Mudvane), Vinnie Paul (Pantera, Damageplan), Tom Maxwell (Nothingface) and Kyle Saunders (Bloodsimple), they are poised to bring the hard hitting heavy rock to this tour.<\/p>\n

\"Volbeat.<\/a>

Hailing from Denmark, Volbeat<\/a>\u00a0is no stranger to the United States. The three-piece continues to tear up stages all over the world, and are primed and ready to co-headline this tour in support of their most recent album, Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies<\/em>. Epic riffs and catchy melodies make each show an experience, and with new second guitarist Rob Caggiano (Anthrax) will have the entire crowd banging their heads and singing along.<\/p>\n

Five Finger Death Punch (5FDP)<\/a>\u00a0has been wanting to do this tour for sometime, and scheduling has always gotten in the way, as is the case with hard working bands that tour constantly. But the planets aligned and this tour can finally be a reality. 5FPD are riding high off their two releases last year, The Wrong Side of Heaven and The Righteous Side of Hell<\/em>, parts 1 and 2. The combined sales of those records made the band the highest selling rock band in America. Their live show is one of pure intesity and heavy metal chaos, and one not to be missed when it rolls into the OnCenter War Memorial Arena<\/a> in Syracuse NY on Setptember 23rd. \u00a0Then, on September 27th, the tour will hit the\u00a0Times Union Center<\/a> in Albany, NY. This, like so many other amazing shows in the Albany area, is being brought to this area thanks to the tireless efforts of Step Up Presents<\/a>.<\/p>\n
