Noisy post-hardcore trio KEN mode will be heading out on the road at the end of August for a short run of North American dates before hitting Europe with Hark. The first leg of their travels checks into places like Chicago and Philadelphia. On September 2, they’ll play NYC’s Saint Vitus for an Invisible Oranges presented show with Psalm Zero & Couch Slut. Tickets are on sale. The full list of tour stops appears below.

The Saint Vitus bill is particularly stacked and all outfits are armed with new ammo. KEN mode are touring in support of 2013’s Entrench. They recently released a video for “The Promises of God” which you can watch below. Post-metallers Rosetta just got back from China and continue to tour for their album The Anaesthete. Metallic hardcore deafeners Tiger Flowers dropped Dead Hymns in April. And the proggy East of the Wall put out Redaction Artifacts last year and have been shredding it up with recent dates that include a suddenly active PsyOpus.

All of the dates along with the KEN mode video and streams from their Saint Vitus stagemates appear below.
