More dates have been announced for the forthcoming North American tour featuring KING DIAMOND and ENTOMBED. As exclusively reported here yesterday, the Metal Maniacs magazine-sponsored trek will kick off on October 18 in Los Angeles and will feature KING DIAMOND presenting one of their most elaborate stage performances to date. The veteran Danish metal combo will be touring in support of their new album, "The Puppet Master", which will be released prior to the start of the tour. ENTOMBED's current CD, "Inferno", will not be officially re-issued until early 2004 through Century Media Records (after the initial pressing through Koch International was recalled from the stores), but fans will get a chance to purchase it at all the gigs on the tour.
