Metal outfits Chimaira [ tickets ] and Machine Head [ tickets ] co-headline this summer's Road Rage Tour, an outing that also features fellow Roadrunner Records artists Three Inches of Blood and Trivium.

After an Aug. 3 kick-off in Chimaira's hometown of Cleveland, the groups will spend most of August performing at clubs and theaters throughout the U.S. Details are shown below.

Chimaira [ tickets ] and Machine Head [ tickets ] will take turns closing the show each night. More information is posted at Roadrunner's website.

Included in the itinerary is an Aug. 6 stop in Worcester, MA, where the four Road Rage Tour acts will share the stage with Candiria, 36 Crazyfists, 12 Tribes and show headliner Kittie. A local act will open, according to Roadrunner.

Also on tap for Chimaira and Machine Head is an Aug. 8 in-store meet-and-greet at Relapse Records in Philadelphia. Set to take place at 3 p.m., the appearance precedes the groups' concert in the city later that night.

Chimaira is backing its sophomore full-length, last year's "The impossibility of Reason." In a message posted at its website, the group said that the Road Rage Tour will be its last round of shows until after it records a new album.

Machine Head is supporting last year's "Though the Ashes of Empires," its sixth studio set for Roadrunner.

Canada's Three Inches of Blood issued its debut set, "Battlecry Under a Winter Sun," in June of 2003. Trivium is due to unleash its inaugural effort next year.
