Taste of Chaos Tour Details

THE USED will be teaming up with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE for the first ever 'Taste of Chaos Tour'. The tour will take place from early February through the middle of April, and will pass through North America playing venues ranging in size from 3,000 to 10,000 seat capacity. "KILLSWITCH ENGAGE are one of the few bands out there who can successfully cross both the Ozzfest and Warped Tour demographics," says Roadrunner Records Sr. Director of Touring & Artist Development Harlan Frey. "KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have already cemented themselves as one of the premier hard rock/metal acts in music today, and "Taste of Chaos" will provide them the perfect platform needed to do the same in the Alternative/Punk genre."

Reached for comment while on the Jagermeister Music Tour with SLAYER and MASTODON, vocalist Howard Jones says; "We are stoked to be a part of the first annual Taste of Chaos Tour. This is a chance for us to play to a bit of a different crowd and hopefully make some new fans along the way."

Evidence One Finish "Virus In My Veins" Video

Evidence One is the hottest rock act right now! With their new record "Tattooed Heart,“ they infect rock fans all over the world with their unique, outstanding and ass-kickin’ Rock’N’Roll. Great reviews all over the press, which is talking about the best German Hard Rock album since Bonfire's "Fireworks“ milestone. Evidence One shot a video for the track "Virus In My Veins,“ done by Huckleberryking company, who did clips for J.B.O. and others. Vocalist Carsten Schulz called the shootings a real strange experience. "We shot it outside Nürnberg at a deserted factory, where it was nothing but awfully cold! The story was that I was a patient in a sanitarium, the real psycho! I was to be punished by rude wards to be saved and rescued afterwards by a, in fact, beautiful young lady named Sarah. Car chase... me breaking off the straightjacked, real cool! Unfortunately, when I had to break free and had to kick away chairs and stuff, I hurt my right foot that bad, that I could hardly walk the next day, but I had to do all the escape and running scenes the next day! Anyway, especially the performing with the band inside that old facility was awesome! Great video indeed!!! We shot 20 hours on two days.“
