You ever have one of those moments when you know something awesome but can’t tell anyone? Well, for me – the SHOCKWAVE FESTIVAL Tour 2012 is one of those things… but now I can tell you! This is a cool announcement for me, as FEAR FACTORY and DIRGE WITHIN are both on the tour, and if you’ve been following The Rock Father’s adventures, then you might already know that I recently worked with both bands, having cut the album trailer for the new Fear Factory, and the lyric video for the new Dirge Within. Needless to say, I’ll be checking out this tour. Check out the official announcement below for all the details. It’s also important to note that ADDITIONAL DATES WILL BE ANNOUNCED, so don’t get too bummed if your hometown isn’t on here just yet. It might be added soon!
