Anyone planning on trying to catch Opeth this fall?

They just announced a tour in support of their upcoming album, The Sorceress. The Sword will be the opening act.

As expected, no New Orleans date. I'm thinking about driving up to Dallas that Saturday for the concert at Gas Monkey Garage.

I really wish this was during a holiday weekend and not during the midst of football season.

Also, why does damn near every single metal band on tour seem to pass through Houston these days? It's almost become on par with Los Angeles and New York in terms of being a can't-miss city for bands these days. I'm seriously jealous of how many good touring acts schedule a stop there.
