The ESP Guitar Company

Here's some news you can use... next year. Hey, we're helping you plan ahead. Kreator, the German thrash metal pioneers that feature ESP player Mille Petrozza, have announced a 2017 tour of Europe that also features, among others, Swedish death metal band Soilwork (with ESP players Sylvain Coudret and David Andersson). Sepultura and Aborted will also be in the lineup. In case you were still unaware, we introduced two new Signature Series guitars for Mille earlier this year: the ESP E-II MK-I and the LTD MK-600.

Here's what Mille has to say.

"Finally we are gonna be back on a headlining tour through Europe again. It will be more than two years by then since our last run and we have some amazing ideas for a new stage show, supporting our new album. It will be nothing less than spectacular, I promise! Looking forward to see all of you metal maniacs in 2017. And this will just be the beginning..." 

Oooh, that sounds exciting and mysterious. Meanwhile, here's where you can catch this metaltacular show in Europe next year. See the band's web site for the latest tour and ticket info.
