The 2011 Metalliance Tour lineup has officially been announced, the inaugural trek will feature Helmet, Saint Vitus and Crowbar.

The festival tour will run through the U.S. from March 17th through April 5th.

Helmet will perform their 1992 platinum-selling release of Meantime in its entirety. The Interscope Records release gave the band mainstream attention with songs like "Unsung" and "In The Meantime". With the
band's renewed success after getting back together in 2004, this tour will be one of the most anticipated of 2011.

One of the most highly influential Doom Metal bands in America, SAINT VITUS are regarded as one of the first bands of the genre starting out as early as the 1970's. The band has done a handful of shows and some European Festivals but this will be their first full US tour in over a decade.

Crowbar front man Kirk Windstein concludes, "Wow! This tour is gonna rule! I've loved Helmet since the beginning and loved St. Vitus even longer. With the new Crowbar record having hit the streets by then, look out! This bill will bring just what we need to crush each city with an avalanche of stylistic thunder!"
