Metal tours announced: Haunter, Torche, Suffocation, Enforced, In Flames, more
Tons of shows get announced every week, and it can be hard to keep up. Here are all the heavy music (metal, hardcore & more) tours, shows & fests that we posted on BV this week, and some new ones too…
HAUNTER
Texas blackened death metallers Haunter are fresh off releasing their great new album Sacramental Death Qualia last week, and they’re gearing up for an October/November tour in support of it, which hits Chicago, Denver, Portland, Seattle, LA, Phoenix, a few home state shows, and more. All dates here.
SUFFOCATION / BELPHEGOR / ABIOTIC / NECRONOMICON
New York death metal vets Suffocation (who are no longer with original vocalist Frank Mullen) have announced a co-headlining tour with blackened death metallers Belphegor, and also along for the ride is deathcore band Abiotic and Canadian blackened death metallers Necronomicon (who recently announced a new album for Season of Mist). The tour hits Long Island, New Jersey, Detroit, Richmond, Denver, Seattle, LA, Austin, and more. All dates here.
ENFORCED / HIGH COMMAND
Richmond crossover thrashers Enforced (who released the killer At The Walls LP this year) and likeminded Worcester band High Command (whose debut LP Beyond The Wall Of Desolation is due September 27 via Southern Lord) are bringing their adrenaline-inducing riffage around the US this fall. The tour kicks off in Enforced’s hometown and ends in High Command’s, hitting Raleigh, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Athens, Memphis, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and more in between. All dates here.
