Hellish War will be the Brazilian representant of the "American Old School Metal Attack Tour" that also counts with Enchanter from United States and Split Heaven from Mexico
To promote the classic heavy metal made in the Americas and celebrate the union of fans and musicians. This is the goal of the "American Old School Metal Attack Tour", an integrated tour that will happen in three countries, Brasil, United States and Mexico, having as protagonists the bands HELLISH WAR (representing Brazil), ENCHANTER (representing United States) and SPLIT HEAVEN (Mexico representants).
The first leg of the tour happens in Brasil in July 2010, right after the Footbal World Cup. It will be four shows: 22/07 in Sorocaba/SP at Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana FC, with Brave as opening-act; 23/07 in Campinas/SP at Sebastian Bar; 24/07 in Matão/SP at Pantheon, with Status as opening-act; and 25/07 in Botucatu/SP at Praça ParaTodos, with Mythria as opening-act.
The idea of the "American Old School Metal Attack Tour" came when HELLISH WAR and ENCHANTER performed together in Germany during the mythical "SwordBrothers Festival". With similar styles, focusing on classic/eighties heavy metal, both planned to make a tour together by the United States and Brazil. Later, SPLIT HEAVEN also joined the project and Mexico was included into the plot. The three bands are hired from the German label Pure Steel Records, one of the sponsors of the tour.
About HELLISH WAR HELLISH WAR is for 13 years on the road and they were always true to their original formula when making old school classic metal. Its first full length "Defender Of Metal" (Megahard Records, 2001) is considered a "cult" album by lovers of the style all around the world. In 2008 they did release their most recent album "Heroes Of Tomorrow" that was very well received by the press, specialy in Europe. Both, "Heroes Of Tomorrow" and "Defender Of Metal" were released in Europe in a special double Cd pack by the German record label Pure Steel Records.
