Slayer/Zombie and Rammstein/Combichrist Tours Coming Soon

This summer is starting to look like peak season for extreme-music fans... two major North American tours have been announced, both featuring a roster of long-time FEARnet faves: Rob Zombie will be touring with thrash gods Slayer, and German metallers Rammstein are returning with support from industrial giants Combichrist. Hit the jump for more details, and find out when the mayhem begins!
 Both of these tours are pretty damn historic: following two sold-out North American performances last year (including New York's Madison Square Garden), the Rammstein/Combichrist match-up returns on May 5^th and covers nine venues through May 20^th, marking Rammstein's first full US tour in a decade. In addition to their opening gigs, Combichrist will also be headlining several US shows as part of their ongoing Making Monsters promotional tour, with support from iVardensphere and Star Killer.
Then, starting on July 20^th, the Zombie/Slayer "Hell on Earth" tour will cover twelve cities through August 6^th, and those bands haven't shared a stage since Ozzfest '99. Both Rob himself and Slayer's axe-man Kerry King have promised fans "total destruction on stage and off," and "Total sonic annihilation and a visual bludgeoning." Both bands will play their full headline sets at every venue and will close shows throughout the tour, with support from legendary thrashers Exodus.
The Zombie/Slayer tickets go on sale April 1^st, and the Rammstein/Combichrist tix are available now. Ordering info and a complete list of venues is available at each band's official site.
