Papa Roach team up with HIM for tour

Papa Roach will team up with Finnish goth-rockers H.I.M. this fall on an 11-date tour dubbed No Sleep Till Halloween. The trek, which begins on October 18th in Lowell, Massachusetts, will also feature Welsh act Lostprophets and Chicago-based band Kill Hannah. Papa Roach will play right before headliners H.I.M. and frontman Jacoby Shaddix told us he's up for the challenge: "That's the crowd I want to get in front of. H.I.M.'s got that really hardcore, underground cult fan base. You know, we got a lot of kids that are gonna come see us, but we're also gonna get in front of a lot of kids that wouldn't normally come see us. I'm just lettin' fools know, beware, 'cause we're coming to take heads. I mean, it's gonna be a really good tour for us. We're main support to H.I.M., and you know, we're gonna do our best to steal the show every night."

Papa Roach will be supporting its fourth major label album, The Paramour Sessions, which is due out September 12th. The first single is called "...To Be Loved."

Papa Roach will also headline the 2006 Zippo Hot Tour in November, with dates and cities yet to be announced.

H.I.M. is still touring behind its 2005 effort and first full-fledged U.S. release, Dark Light, which has sold more than 450,000 copies.

H.I.M. has a DVD in the works for November, which will feature interviews, live performances, and footage of the band touring haunted Scottish castles, according to MTV.com.

Lostprophets released their third album, Liberation Transmission, in June and will head out on some solo dates before the No Sleep tour.
