\nHAMMERFALL have announced their fall tour \u201cEuropean Outbreak 2011\u201d and now confirm American metal icons RIOT as special guests on the first leg of dates. Also the new Swedish metal sensation AMARANTHE is confirmed as support on the whole tour. Joacim Cans, vocalist and frontman of HAMMERFALL comments: “For thirty years I have been a true and devoted RIOT fan. Albums like “Fire Down Under” and “Thundersteel” have inspired me immensely, both as a singer and a songwriter, and the honest truth is that I would probably not be here today if it wasn’t for RIOT. As a homage to the band we also covered their classic song “Flight of the Warrior” on the album “Masterpieces” in 2008. I am totally psyched about having RIOT as our special guest for the first leg of the European tour and I can assure you that I will be in the audience banging my head and singing along in every song…every single night! Hell Yeah! ”<\/p>\n
RIOT\u00b4s founding member Mark Reale is equally enthusiastic: \u201cThis tour is going to blow a lot of cobwebs away. We\u2019ve been dying to get the band back over the Europe where we\u2019ve always had such a loyal following. This is like a dream come true for all of us, and the timing, with the new album ready to roll, couldn\u2019t be better.\u201d HAMMERFALL have announced their fall tour \u201cEuropean Outbreak 2011\u201d and now confirm American metal icons…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22278\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nThis will be the first time the legendary \u201eThundersteel\u201f and \u201eThe Privilege Of Power\u201f line-up of Tony Moore (vocals), Mark Reale (guitar), Mike Flyntz (guitar), Don Van Stavern (bass) and Bobby Jarzombek (drums) has played in Europe on a full tour, after the band\u201fs celebrated one-off show at Sweden rock festival in 2009. Having signed with SPV worldwide except for Japan where they are signed to Avalon Marquee, RIOT are currently finalizing their new album \u201cImmortal Soul\u201d which is due in October. The dates with HAMMERFALL will therefore also be an opportunity for fans to hear new material from the band\u00b4s upcoming \u2013 and long-awaited \u2013 fourteenth album.
\n
\nNewcomers AMARANTHE just recently released their debut album which charted #1 in Japan is set as main support at \u201cEuropean Outbreak 2011\u201d. Olof M\u00f6rck, founder of AMARANTHE comments: “All of us in AMARANTHE are mighty proud to go tour with our metal brothers from Gothenburg, the legendary HAMMERFALL! To take part on this huge tour that will take us to every corner in Europe is sure to be a pleasure, and we hope their fans will receive us kindly! We are sure to do our best to deliver as good of a show as possible, every single night from October through November! See all of you on tour this fall!”
