Metal Blade Records band Unearth has announced that they will be supporting Whitechapel, and Emmure with additional support coming from Obey The Brave, and The Plot In You. The tour will begin Jan. 8th, 2013 in Knoxville, TN and will end Feb. 11th in New York City, NY. The full touring schedule can be seen below.

Vocalist Trevor Phipps says, “John “Slo” Maggard will unfortunately be sitting out the Brothers of Brutality Tour (Whitechapel, Emmure, Obey the Brave, The Plot In You) this coming January/February. His absence is simply to take care of personal matters at home and is only temporary. Slo will remain a member of Unearth moving forward and is actively involved in the writing process for our next album, which we plan to record and release some time in 2013.

DeVries added, “I couldn’t be more excited to be filling in on bass for my long time friends in Unearth on the upcoming Brothers Of Brutality Tour. They are like family to me and I’m extremely happy to step up to the plate for my good buddy Slo! READ MORE

Ohio metal band Chimaira have released a video for Year of the Snake, which comes off their upcoming album The Age Of Hell. It’s a pretty awesome song and the video has some cool moments (when the microphone swings in front of the camera, it almost looks 3D), but I have a feeling that the album as a whole will be much more kickass.

The current line-up of Chimaira is also quite interesting as only three original members remain: Mark Hunter, Rob Arnold, and Matt DeVries. Emil Werstler and Sean Zatorsky of Daath have joined as bassist and keyboardist respectively and the band is rounded out by drummer Austin D’Amond (Bleed The Sky, The Elite).

Check out the video after the jump and tell me your favorite Chimaira song in the comments.

Cleveland, Ohio band Chimaira has just announced the “Blue Collar Brawler Tour” which will begin on Nov. 24th in Chicago, Illinois. The openers are Impending Doom, Daath, and This Or The Apocalypse. Now, I love me some Daath, so I just might have to make it out for the Harpo’s show.

“Chimaira is hard at work writing number six, being domestic, and making moves that will ensure awesomeness in 2011,” states vocalist Mark Hunter. “As you may have read, we are not exactly done touring yet. After all, we just released a new DVD. We hit up our agent and some killer bands, and came up with the ‘BLUE COLLAR BRAWLER TOUR’; 10 shows in 10 awesome cities. After that, we will switch our energy and start preparing for Chimaira Christmas 11. This will be your last chance to see Chimaira live for a while, so I suggest you do so. 2010 has been another amazing year for Chimaira, and we can’t wait to end it on a high note with these shows. See you all there. We look forward to the party.”

One of my favorite metal bands of the past few years is Daath. I spun ‘The Concealers’ more times than I can count throughout late last year and the beginning of this year. Their track, ‘Wilting On The Vine’ still gets my blood boiling every time I hear it. So that’s why I’m excited to see that they are up to some really big plans for the rest of the year, including a new, self-titled album coming out on Oct. 25th.

Next, Daath will be touring the US with Chimaira and Impending Doom, all before heading over to Europe for a tour there with Fear Factory and High On Fire. You can check out the tour dates for those shows after the jump as well as comments from Eyal Levi.
