Jagermeister Serves Up Chimaira/ Arch Enemy Tour!

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Metal heads, head bangers, and metal fiends, get ready for one of the heaviest, most hard-hitting tours of all time! Jagermeister Liqueur is pumped to present Chimaira and Arch Enemy for their Spring Tour '06. The tour will kickoff on April 3rd in Denver, Colorado. Nevermore and God Forbid will share the main support spot and Hate Eternal rounds out the bill as opener.

Roadrunner Records' recording artists, Chimaira, have long been fans of Jagermeister and vice versa. The Cleveland-based heavy-metal sextet had an amazing 2005, celebrating the success of their latest album, Chimaira. The band has fine-tuned and honed their style so deftly that this album and their live shows truly represent everything they are poised to become as this monster is unleashed on the heavy metal world.

"We couldn't be happier that Jagermeister approached us about sponsoring this incredible line-up," says Chimaira frontman, Mark Hunter. "We have been a Jagermeister band for over five years and we have some great stories thanks to them, so cheers to Jagermeister and another five years of touring mayhem!"

Arch Enemy make their much-anticipated return to the US in support of their most successful album ever, the stunning Doomsday Machine (Century Media), which hit the Billboard Top 100 off the back of their triumphant slot on Ozzfest 2005. Acclaimed for their lethal cocktail of melody and brutality, the awesome guitar and drumming of Arch Enemy is complemented by the "Queen of Extreme," Angela Gossow on vocals. The band are no strangers to working with Jagermeister on tour, having been the opening act to Hatebreed and the mighty Slayer in back in 2003.

Says lead guitarist Michael Amott, "This package has to be one of the most exciting contemporary metal bills touring in America so far this year, and we're proud to be a part of it and happy to be working again with Jagermeister."

Seattle's Nevermore has been around the metal scene for over a decade and has just released its latest, This Godless Endeavor (Century Media Records), an album determined to become a future classic of the metal movement. Century Media Records' God Forbid triumphantly return with IV: Constitution Of Treason, their most dynamic and devastating offering yet. This mighty New Jersey-based quintet have now forged their own unique path and stretched their musical boundaries to the very limit while creating a thought-provoking conceptual opus that will undoubtedly stand the test of time. Finally, Earache Records' Hate Eternal leads an all-out precision assault with their death metal. Their latest album, I, Monarch, is a crushing blow of musical force. Expect to do some serious head banging!

Jagermeister continues its strong and steady support of music and up-and-coming musicians ... the louder the better! On the hunt for innovative line-ups that offer fans a chance to see some of the best music going, Jagermeister is pleased to bring Chimaira and Arch Enemy together on this Tour.
