Orange County hardcore band Bleeding Through, preparing to enter the studio to record its sixth studio effort, will be hitting the road in the New Year for an overseas tour with Machine Head. The Black Procession Tour will also include Hatebreed, and All Shall Perish.

Five brand new U.K. and Irish dates have just been announced on the trek. Fan presale links for tickets will be made available on Wednesday, November 25 and general public ticket sales begin on Friday, November 27.

“We are very stoked to be finally touring with our friends Machine Head,” Bleeding Through lead singer Brandan Schieppati declares. “It has been a long time coming and certainly a major plus touring with Hatebreed, and All Shall Perish again as well. We always love coming to Europe and especially the U.K. so the fact that more shows have been added and the return to Ireland is going to be the best possible scenario to start off the New Year.”

Hailed by Revolver as one of the bands ushering in the Future of Metal, Bleeding Through has also been heralded by Spin as an “artist to watch.” Preparing to assault fans with new music in 2010, for now, European fans will have to be satiated by the band’s blistering live show.
