Watain: North American Tour Kicks off Saturday // Show at Santos Party House on Dec. 2nd

After having stormed through Europe for five weeks leaving their cursed mark on many a sold-out hall, Watain now have their sights set on North America. The wild ride will begin in Pittsburgh, on Saturday, November 6, and sweep through 24 cities before drawing to a close on December 4 in Toronto. Support will come from Goatwhore and Black Anvil.

This will mark Watain's first time touring North America as a five-piece. Commented vocalist E: "Getting the whole band into the U.S. has always been a somewhat problematic issue, due to criminal records and related nonsense. This time we've at least managed to get five people in, although we had to find a temporary replacement for our brother Set, who is still denied entrance into the 'Land of the Free.' Instead we've invited SL from The Devil's Blood to handle the second guitar on this tour. The past month in Europe has nourished the fires of our Temple indeed, and it is with increased power and victory in our hearts that we leave the European shores in flames and set our sails towards the west. Beware..."

Added Set on being denied Stateside entry: "It is with great disappointment -- but with little surprise -- that I am once again denied entry into the States. That's one of the small prices to pay being a sworn enemy of their world. It feels wrong to not be able to join this tour, even more so after just returning from the most intense five weeks of our Reaping Death tour with Destroyer 666. On the other hand, I honestly couldn't ask for a better replacement in this (or any other) situation than SL, whose talent and vision within the sinister musical Craft is undeniable. America, I'll see you soon enough...FTW!"

The official lineup for the Lawless Darkness Tour will thus be: E - Vocals, P - Guitar, H - Drums, A - Bass and SL - Guitar.

Watain Tour N. America Behind "Lawless Darkness" // Show At Santos Party House on Dec. 2nd

Swedish black metal overlords Watain, who unleashed their fourth full-length Lawless Darkness earlier this summer, will return to North American soil later this fall. Presented by Decibel Magazine and sponsored in part by Fangoria, Metal Injection and Killer Tours, the unholy trek will commence on November 6 at Mr. Smalls in Pittsburgh and bludgeon its way through over two dozen cities before coming to close on December 4 at the Opera House in Toronto. Support will come from Goatwhore and Black Anvil.

The tour stops at Santos Party House on Dec. 2nd and tickets are $16 in advance. The show is all ages and doors are at 7PM.

Lawless Darkness was released via Season Of Mist on June 7. Recorded at Necromorbus Studio (Deathspell Omega, Funeral Mist, Ondskapt et al) in Alvik, Sweden with cover art by Zbigniew M. Bielak, the record continues to reap critical accolades from press nationwide and abroad. In addition to scoring cover spots in some of metal’s most esteemed publications including Decibel, Terrorizer, and Subterranea (Metal Hammer’s extreme metal supplement), "Reaping Death," the latest single off Lawless Darkness, was certified gold in Sweden for sales in excess of 10,000 copies.

At the Sweden Rock Festival this past June, Watain played a tribute set to Bathory - audience filmed footage is below.
