In this thread, we discuss all things metal.

[from zero]

Finally, some decent metal tours hitting this area ...

Dragonforce/Sanctity (though I likely won't see this, as I don't know much Dragonforce)
Arch Enemy/Chimaira/God Forbid (fuckers on the west coast are getting Nevermore too. So jealous.)
In Flames/Nevermore/Evergrey (Holy fucking shit. Nevermore and Evergrey on the same bill!? And wtf. Throwdown is on the bill too. Whoever put this together needs to die. God I hope this comes to Philly though)

is this the same Sodom that has existed since the days of Kreator and Obsessed?

Yes. They also have a new album out.

Dudes, stuff you need to check out:

Mirrorthrone - Carriers of Dust (French BM, amazing, one of the best releases this year)
Ihsahn - The Adversary (ex-Emperor)
Frightmare - Bringing Back the Bloodshed (Fun fun fun thrash with gore overtones)

Gory Blister - Skymorphosis (Shit name, but really good melodeath)
Benighted - Identisick (One of the best DM releases so far this year)
Wolves In The Throne Room - Diadem Of 12 Stars (Epic, sounds like Weakling with some stoner influences)
