British shred-heavy metallers SAVAGE MESSIAH have confirmed their first ever headlining shows in the UK, with support from Chicago thrashers and labelmates DIAMOND PLATE.

The bands will be teaming up in March for three shows in York, Birmingham and London, following DIAMOND PLATE's first ever UK shows supporting thrash legends ANTHRAX as well as a main stage slot at Hammerfest.

SAVAGE MESSIAH frontman DAVID SILVER comments:

"We're all really looking forward to our first ever headlining dates. With the positive response we got on the Evile tour, coupled with the stellar reaction to 'Plague of Conscience', we thought it was about time to go out and put on a real Savage Messiah performance. Our intention is to tour heavily in support of the new record, so expect to see plenty more gig announcements in the coming weeks/months, but this is a great start and having label mates Diamond Plate playing with us is only going to make it an even better experience. So make sure you buy tickets, get down to the gigs and we promise to put on a killer show - we've got some cool ideas about how to make these shows a bit special - definitely not to be missed!"
