Europeans didn't have many chances last year to see the Death To All tour but this year their luck is changing. DTA will tour Europe for the first time. The Death line up will consist of Sean Reinert (Cynic) - drums, Paul Masvidal (Cynic) - guitar, Steve DiGiorgio (Autopsy, Testament, Iced Earth) - bass and Max Phelps (Cynic) - guitar and vocals. The setlist will feature most of the songs from the Human album plus other Death classics. It already looks like a fun night in perspective but there is more: direct support will come from German tech death heroes Obscura whose singer/guitarist Steffen Kummerer was asked to be vocalist on the first Death-tribute shows in 2012, but couldn't take the job due to visa issues. Also on the tour will be DarkRise.
