Bayou Music Center presents Metalocalypse Dethklok and Lamb of God with special guest Gojira.

This summer, two of the biggest names in metal, METALOCALYPSE DETHKLOK and LAMB OF GOD, will join forces for a 34-show North American tour kicking off on August 1st in Seattle. The three-time Grammy® Award-nominated band from Richmond, VA and the world’s most brutal animated death band from Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse animated series will shred their way across America. Opening for the mega tour will be Gojira.

The upcoming tour marks the return of Lamb Of God to North American stages where they will support their latest album, "Resolution", which debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 chart when it was released earlier this year.

As in tours past, Brendon Small, the co-creator and composer behind Dethklok, will bring the animated band to life on stage each night alongside an all-star band including the legendary Gene Hoglan, Bryan Beller and Mike Keneally. Building on the success of "The Dethalbum" and "The Dethalbum II" from Williams Street Records, Small is currently in the studio working on the band’s third album release scheduled for later this year.

Additionally, new episodes from the fourth season of "Metalocalypse" currently air on Adult Swim Sundays at 12:15 a.m. (ET/PT).
