Slipknot's opening support act for their upcoming UK tour have been unmasked - and they're pretty legendary.
The masked metallers will be back in the UK in February next year for a run of huge dates. Having lost members Joey Jordison and Paul Gray in recent years, many feared how they would fare as a live band - but the band have proven just as awesome and terrifying as ever, as proven at Download Festival this summer.
Now, the tour just got a little bigger - with Download and Live Nation boss Andy Copping revealing that it's none other than Suicidal Tendencies:
For those who have been asking about the support for the Slipknot UK Tour- it's Suicidal Tendencies @OFFICIALSTIG @slipknot @CoreyTaylorRock

The thrash icons rose to notoriety in the 80's as leading figureheads of the punk-metal crossover scene. Make no mistake, things are going to get live.
