Escape The Fate are kicking off the New Year with a North American headlining tour. “The Dead Masquerade” begins January 20th in Tucson, AZ and runs through March. Support acts Alesana, Motionless in White, Get Scared and Drive A will join the band in igniting stages across the U.S. and Canada. This tour also marks the return of bassist Max Green, who entered rehab on November 12th.

Escape The Fate is singer Craig Mabbitt, bassist Max Green, guitarist Monte Money and drummer Robert Ortiz. The Las Vegas quartet’s third album was produced by Don Gilmore (Bullet For My Valentine, Linkin Park) and released on November 2nd. It debuted at #4 on the Billboard Rock album chart, #3 on the Billboard Alternative chart and #1 on the Billboard Tastemakers Chart. Escape The Fate blends metal licks with pop melodies and soaring guitar solos with anthemic choruses into an epic sound only hinted at on the band’s previous discs: 2008’s This War Is Ours and 2006’s Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.

Although they’re calling this tour The Dead Masquerade, we’re pretty sure it’s gonna be one of the most electrifying live events of 2011! Are you ready?
