The momentum also gathered in January, when they released the single ‘The Summoning’, which soon went viral.Now, the band have not only managed to keep their identity a secret but also announced some of their biggest live shows to date – including a slot at London’s Wembley Arena which sold out in just 10 minutes.

Twisted Sister has shared his thoughts on Metallica’s ‘No Repeat Weekend’ shows – labelling the concept as being “self-serving”.The glam frontman revealed his take on Metallica’s show structure during a recent appearance on the Shout It Loud Loudcast (September 2), and explained why he is against bands performing two completely different setlists at their shows.The discussion came in light of the metal veterans unrolling a ‘No Repeat Weekend’ structure for their ongoing ‘72 Seasons’ tour – meaning that when they play back-to-back nights in one location, they will perform two completely different setlists and have two different bands open the show each night.While this gives diehard fans a chance to see the thrash metallers break out some lesser-played rarities and provide two unique performances each night, Snider criticised the choice, saying it leaves the majority of the audience disappointed.“I wasn’t aware they were doing that, and credit to them. But I think it’s kind of self-serving and it really only appeals to a small percentage of the crowd,” he began (via Blabbermouth).
