The inaugural Metalliance Tour will be in Denver bringing West Coast doom, southern grime and more riffs from the East Coast that you can handle, and the bands are:

Saint Vitus – Legendary doom metal from L.A. formed in 1978. Led by Mr. Wino on vocals and original members Dave Chandler on guitar and Mark Adams on bass, Henry Vasquez on drums replacing original member Armando Acosta who passed away in 2010. They have recorded several doom masterpiece’s “Born Too Late” “Mournful Cries” “V” and they will be recording what will probably be another classic this summer.
