Chelsea Grin announces headline tour, new EP

Chelsea Grin has officially announced plans to headline a six-week tour in March and April. Dubbed "The Sick Tour," the trek will also include Attila, For The Fallen Dreams, Chunk! No Captain Chunk!, and Vanna. Additionally, Volumes and The Crimson Armada will appear on select dates. The full itinerary will be announced in early-January. Meanwhile, the band has also revealed that they will release a new, five-song EP next summer, stating the following:
"We are releasing our second EP in Summer 2012 on Warped Tour. No dubstep, no acoustic songs, no cover songs, no bullshit... five brand new Chelsea Grin songs that will fuck you in the ass and face at the same time. None of you have any idea what to expect, and if you liked the original EP... well... be ready. "Please don't take our 'No dubstep, acoustic songs, cover songs' comment too literal. We are not taking shots at any band that have done something similar. We just want to do what we did with our original EP... five songs that are all strong as fuck, and will make it worth the $5 price tag."

"None of you have any idea what to expect, and if you liked the original EP... well... be ready." Soooo, people should have to no idea what to expect, but if people liked the original EP, they should be ready to expect something like that? Smooth logic there, Chelsea Frown!

so basically 4-note tremolo riffs sandwiched around breakdowns with sweeps played over them. who fcking cares

anonymous 12/22/2011 9:14:09 PM

ALOT of Kids care unfortanetly.... More people then NORMA JEAN I'd wager

anonymous 12/22/2011 9:39:13 PM

anonymous 12/22/2011 9:40:06 PM

Dumb "music" for dumb people. The new dubstep Korn > this band

anonymous 12/22/2011 10:08:31 PM

Everyone Krab Walk!

anonymous 12/22/2011 10:08:32 PM

I can understand the whole "fck you in the ass and face at the same time" comment. Listening to everything this band has put out so far has probably been equally as painful.

anonymous 12/22/2011 10:56:06 PM

"Sick"

Chicken_gang_bang 12/22/2011 11:39:41 PM

This is gonna be anything but cool

jimmydeanbreakfast 12/23/2011 1:08:06 AM

This tour is why I hate the metal scene. That ep should just be free, that's what they're going to make off of it. Just ask norma Jean

LoydChristmas 12/23/2011 5:25:46 AM

LOL @ the DGAF attitude of the first paragraph and the "but seriously, j/k just in case our moms see this" attitude of the second.

Chunk! No Captain Chunk! Chunk! No Captain Chunk! Chunk! No Captain Chunk! Chunk! No Captain Chunk! Chunk! No Captain Chunk! Chunk! No Captain Chunk! Chunk! No Captain Chunk! Chunk! No Captain Chunk!

"Make it worth $5" .....i can guarantee it will be worth less.

Colossus 12/23/2011 7:44:59 AM

This tour needs more dinosaurs.

anonymous 12/23/2011 9:09:59 AM

so we shouldn't take the "dubstep/acoustic" comment LITERALLY? does that mean there is going to be dubstep and acoustic, orrrrrr...

anonymous 12/23/2011 10:25:06 AM

Have a weak ass opinion! Back track weak ass opinion incase Attack Attack calls! This tour is what the death of a genre looks like.

xmusicislifex 12/23/2011 10:49:24 AM

i have nothing to say about this

ineedsalt 12/23/2011 11:54:42 AM

i would rather get a favor from a girl with several quarter size cold sores then listen to this

anonymous 12/23/2011 12:00:13 PM

That's a whole lot of garbage on one tour.

anonymous 12/23/2011 2:50:35 PM

the fact that they had to follow up their "brutal" statement with a disclaimer just ruined any thread of death metal credentials they had.

anonymous 12/23/2011 3:42:07 PM

This band can go fck off and die in some unreachable chasm where they can never hurt anyones ears again

anonymous 12/23/2011 4:24:18 PM

So many butthurt Chelsea Grin haters on this page! If you loathe Chelsea Grin so much why did all of you come on to this page?

anonymous 12/23/2011 4:58:44 PM

"LOL @ the DGAF attitude of the first paragraph and the "but seriously, j/k just in case our moms see this" attitude of the second." or, more to the point, jk incase Asking Alexandria, who we're supposed to be touring with next year see this.

anonymous 12/23/2011 5:37:06 PM

I'm so stoked for this ep that you can fck with my peen acacia streen!

ineedsalt 12/23/2011 6:50:31 PM

"So many butthurt Chelsea Grin haters on this page! If you loathe Chelsea Grin so much why did all of you come on to this page?"....to fck with you and laugh at your band

long_insured_now 12/23/2011 8:55:38 PM

In 5 years Chelsea Grin will be a thing of the past and they will be working at a hot dog stand in the mall. #NoTalentgays

anonymous 12/23/2011 10:14:57 PM

lol @ this gay defending his band. as soon as all the 11 year old girls who like this hit puberty, you will have no fans. fcking die.

anonymous 12/23/2011 10:17:54 PM

so BR000000000000TAL that you tortured a girl in your video. do you hit your girlfriend, gay? or are you afraid they would see the bruises when she went to junior high the next day?

dave37 12/23/2011 11:17:54 PM

vanna and volumes deserve better. rest of the bands can eat an aids dck.

anonymous 12/24/2011 1:28:12 AM

Chelsea only grins because she has fcking super aids those broke dck gays time to cut your hair and take out your snakebites and listen to slayer you horrible pieces of shit stop molesting my ears , break up no one will Care but impending doom , and a couple of 14 year olds that get wet over your horrible screams that are faked from all the sucking and swallowing they have done

anonymous 12/24/2011 3:13:13 AM

Suicide silence is stoked!

anonymous 12/24/2011 12:25:18 PM

Elementary kids are sitting by the window, day dreaming about this EP.

ShaolinLambKiller 12/24/2011 3:25:49 PM

Shitband.

anonymous 12/24/2011 4:49:07 PM

Elementary kids are sitting by the window, day dreaming about this EP.... This comment is fcking awesome. Except elementary children are probably over this band and on to something with more substance.

anonymous 12/25/2011 3:47:34 PM

you retracted your ¨bold statement¨ in the 2nd paragraph. These weak cookie cutter bands have nothing to stand for these days. At least in that For Today news post about that tour or whatever, they stand for something. One of the few bands left that does.

anonymous 12/25/2011 10:17:10 PM

chelsea brokenchin

big_metal_al 12/27/2011 7:33:38 AM

every band on this "sick tour" is so gay!

anonymous 12/29/2011 2:27:37 PM

Vanna and volumes are the only good acts on the tour and their most recent releases are even questionable... not a quality tour..

anonymous 1/4/2012 3:14:59 PM

Yeah chelsea grins second album seemed a bit rushed, I'am glad they recognize most of their fans love the EP and want more cg in that vein and I suppose I'll be a happy camper, no offense guys my damnation=stupid record, with the exception of a few songs from the record which are decent...

anonymous 2/2/2012 8:52:40 AM

Slayer can eat shit buddy. Trash bad. Trash looking people. What a shitty band.

anonymous 2/28/2012 12:09:58 PM

Ha they're talking about the new Whitechapel EP right?

anonymous 3/2/2012 11:48:02 AM

wow you guys are stupid as hell, this EP is going to be Amazing, your just jelous you cant thandle this good music

anonymous 3/30/2012 7:24:35 AM

you're all pussies. Chelsea Grin is heavy as fck. who cares if it's simple. Fail trolls are fail and slayer is gay as fck. anyone can fcking pick 1000 mph and call it good. gaya. CG4LYF

anonymous 4/30/2012 8:33:10 AM
