There’s a pretty powerful one-two punch coming to audiences across the United States early next year as Stone Sour and Papa Roach will team up for a co-headlining tour. The trek launches Jan. 20 in Bethlehem, Pa., with Stone Sour closing out the shows.

Stone Sour have spent much of the latter half of 2012 promoting their ‘House of Gold & Bones, Pt. 1‘ album, which has already spawned the hit singles ‘Absolute Zero’ and ‘Gone Sovereign.’ The timing for the tour works out perfectly for them as it will lead up to the release of ‘House of Gold & Bones, Pt. 2,’ which is expected in the spring. At present, the band is receiving positive reviews as they trek across Europe.

Papa Roach, who also are enjoying a successful European run at the moment, have rebounded quite well after singer Jacoby Shaddix‘s vocal surgery earlier this year. The group issued their hit album, ‘The Connection,’ featuring the hard-hitting single ‘Still Swingin’,’ over the summer and have also received some love for the track ‘Before I Die‘ off the album. This will be the group’s first major run through North America in support of their latest release.

Joining the two bands on the run will be one of 2012′s breakout bands, Otherwise, who are promoting their ‘True Love Never Dies‘ album. The disc has already spawned the singles ‘Soldiers‘ and ‘I Don’t Apologize.’

Beginning Dec. 7, links to purchase tickets will be included here.
