It is announced today that Grammy-winning, Swedish rock band Ghost will be Special Guest on all four European legs of Metallica’s 2019 “Worldwired” Stadium Tour that begins on May 1 at the Estadio do Restelo in Lisbon, Portugal. Ghost has shared festival stages with Metallica before, but this is the band’s first invitation to join Metallica on tour.
I guess I’ll eat my own words this time. I’m a vocal fan of Omnium Gatherum, one of Finland’s more seasoned and refined melodic death metal bands. Last I saw them, they were opening for Sonata Arctica in New Jersey, and flash forward nearly two years later and they’re opening up a hell of a line-up: Other than themselves, they shared a stage with Moonspell, Dark Tranquillity, and Amorphis. They worked perfectly with Sonata Arctica last time, and the likes of Omnium being paired up with Dark Tranquillity isn’t unheard of. But Moonspell and Amorphis? A dream line-up if I’ve ever seen it.
