Finnish psychedelic black metal visionaries Oranssi Pazuzu will hit the road for the first time in seven years across North America alongside openers Wayfarer.
The trek launches May 8 at Northwest Terror Fest in Seattle and will snake its way across the continent before coming to a close on May 30 at Prepare the Ground Festival in Toronto, Ontario. Festival appearances are woven throughout the routing, making the run one of the band’s most ambitious and high-profile tours to date. Get your tickets here.
Speaking on the upcoming dates, Wayfarer guitarist and vocalist Shane McCarthy says: “We look forward to crossing the country again, this time in the company of one of the strongest artists in contemporary heavy music in Oranssi Pazuzu.”
The tour also carries added weight for longtime fans, as it signals a turning point for Wayfarer‘s current chapter. “This trek will signal the end of the American Gothic era, as that material will ride on stage along with unearthing a few cuts that have not been played in sometime,” McCarthy explains. “We look forward to ripping stages across the country this spring – join us for a two act bill that shouldn’t be missed.”
