Today Norway’s Mayhem and Sweden’s Watain announced that they will be mounting a co-headlining North American tour together this winter. Named Black Metal Warfare, the tour will also include support from the Canadian black/death band Revenge.
Mayhem are touring in support of their new album, Esoteric Warfare, while Watain are touring in support of their most recent full-length, The Wild Hunt. I really enjoyed the live performances of both bands the last time they separately ventured to our shores, and I have high hopes for this tour. I’m also very interested to see Revenge.
The full schedule appears right after the jump (it neglects the South and Southwest, among other regions):

If that Chicago date is 21+ I will probably have a tantrum.
Hopefully they let you ‘lil kids with your Lucky Charms in 🙂
damn, there’s just too many great shows coming to my town before the end of the year. not a good time to be broke
Yet another excellent tour that manages to come to Seattle on a Tuesday. How does this keep happening?
I was just thinking the same thing… Amon Amarth, Uncle Acid (Technically on a Monday), Deicide, King Diamond, Death DTA.
We can only sacrifice so many weekday nights. Such tough decisions…
The worst part for me is that I work until 10 PM about an hour away form Seattle, so I’ve actually got to schedule vacation days to make it to these shows.
Or from Seattle… one of the two.
Revenge is proper good live.
