MAPLEWOOD, Minn. — Suicide Silence close out the Twin Cities metal fall on Wednesday, December 2, when the Reminders of Hell Tour hits Myth Live in Maplewood, days after the band’s new album Graceless lands on Century Media Records on November 20.

The bill runs deep: Emmure, AngelMaker and Synestia open the night. Doors are at 6 PM, the show starts at 7, and the night is all ages at 3090 Southlawn Drive. Guitarist Mark Heylmun is sitting this tour out, with a fill in guitarist stepping into the lineup, and the band has been open about carrying the tour forward at full force.

Suicide Silence helped define deathcore, and Graceless arrives as one of the most anticipated heavy records of the winter. December 2 is the Twin Cities chance to hear it live first.

We Speak Media will be in the room. Our Minneapolis correspondent, Elissa Evenson of Skywoman Visuals, shoots the show for us.

Twenty-five years after Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls first landed, the Murderdolls are reuniting. Wednesday 13, Eric Griffin and Acey Slade will return to the stage in June 2027 at Download Festival and Graspop Metal Meeting, in tribute to Joey Jordison and Ben Graves.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls, Murderdolls will reunite for their first live performances at Download Festival and Graspop Metal Meeting in June 2027.

The shows will feature Wednesday 13, Eric Griffin and Acey Slade, and will be a fitting tribute to Joey Jordison and Ben Graves. They will be joined by Jack Tankersley (Wednesday 13, Bullets And Octane) on guitar and Mike Dupke (Wednesday 13, W.A.S.P., Dee Snider) on drums.

Wednesday 13 comments: “After nearly 25 years, I couldn’t be more thrilled to reunite the Murderdolls for these two festival shows. This is long overdue for the fans. It’s going to be a bloody good time celebrating the life of Joey Jordison and Ben Graves. I’ll see you all in June, and remember — in the Valley of the Murderdolls, the ghouls are still running wild.”

Acey Slade adds: “We never could have predicted the impact that the Murderdolls would have. It was just five idiots with Alice Cooper and Mötley Crüe posters on our walls, jumping in a van and trying to make as much noise and trouble as possible. And here we are 25 years later, doing it again. We miss Ben and Joey every day, and we’re gonna do our best to honour their memory.”

Eric Griffin says: “We did a lot of really stupid things 25 years ago, and we hope to do a lot more stupid things again next summer. All for our brothers in blood, Ben Graves and Joey Jordison.”

Tickets for Download Festival are on sale now, with more information at downloadfestival.co.uk. Graspop Metal Meeting ticket information is at graspop.be.

Joey’s sister, Katie Riekena, said: “This tribute will be an amazing time for the fans and will help keep Joey’s legacy alive. The surviving members of the band are extremely talented and I know that the guys, including Joey’s replacement on drums, will do a great job of keeping his spirit alive on the stage.”
