Following a successful first run in 2010, "The Finnish Metal Tour" will once again unleash itself on North America in early 2011. Dubbed "The Finnish Metal Tour 2", the trek will feature co-headliners FINNTROLL (Century Media) and ENSIFERUM (Spinefarm). Support will come from BARREN EARTH (Peaceville), and ROTTEN SOUND (Relapse). The tour will start on January 31, 2011 in Orlando, Florida and conclude on March 4 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
ENSIFERUM bassist Sami Hinkka had this to say about the upcoming tour: "The time has come to unite forces with our fellow countrymen and raid your cities with unforeseen power. The amount of alcohol consumption on this tour is going to be horrifying, so don't forget to bring your drinking horn! Grab your swords and hold them high with pride and join the ultimate metal event of 2011."
