Goatwhore have to get their asses to Ozzfest, and instead of flying from Louisiana to California, they're going to go on a good old fashioned tour.
The band made the announcement on their Facebook page:
“We have been associated with ‘Ozzfest‘ in the past and are grateful to be playing it this year, but being part of Black Sabbath‘s final West Coast show is another legendary experience to be affiliated with and be able to witness first hand, taking in every element of a band that has been a great influence on all levels in the metal world.
Also, ‘Ozzfest‘ has given opportunities to countless freshly-emerging metal acts to forge new paths and give people new levels of extreme music to connect with and hear… that doesn’t exclude this year. Tons of acts that have been pretty damn strong in the underground metal community will be making their first appearances at ‘Ozzfest Meets Knotfest‘, as well as repeat acts that have been a part of it in the past. So, when you come to see Black Sabbath out West for their last time, come early and be a part of the future of metal, as well as it’s legendary past.”
