The group, based out of Des Moines, Iowa, blew up on the national scene in 1999 with its self-titled debut. The group's latest release was 2008's "All Hope Is Gone."

Each of the nine members of the group, which refers to fans as "maggots," wears a jumpsuit and a different Halloween mask.

Thrash-metal veterans Anthrax open the show with Black Dahlia Murder.

Tickets for the show, $34 and $39, go on sale at noon on Friday at all Ticketmaster locations.
