Rumor: BEHEMOTH, WATAIN And THE DEVIL'S BLOOD To Join Forces For North American Tour[views:65632][posts:99]the Palladium (Worcester, MA) - [behemoth][in_solitude][randomshots][the_devils_blood][watain] ____________________________________________ [Jan 17,2012 5:30pm - nekronautloggedin ""] http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...m_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter BEHEMOTH, WATAIN and THE DEVIL'S BLOOD are rumored to be joining forces for a Decibel-magazine-sponsored North American tour in the spring. In an October 2011 interview with Full Metal Jackie's nationally syndicated radio show, BEHEMOTH vocalist/guitarist Adam "Nergal" Darski stated about his band's U.S. tour plans, "We're putting final touches to a U.S. tour which will start on April 12. The lineup is still a secret, but probably within days or weeks it's going to be revealed to the world. All I got to say now, because I'm not really allowed to reveal any names, but it's like a dream team tour for me. It's going to be very underground, very dangerous and when we go on tours, especially in the U.S., we've always compromised to be on a bill with bands, bigger bands, smaller bands it doesn't matter. But sometimes it's just politics, it's labels involved, it's money and stuff that we need to compromise and there's bands that we hate, good guys, you know, but a lot of music that's on the bill it's shit, and this time, for the first time ever, it's my favorite bands on the bill. Just wait and see — it's going to be a huge surprise. It's going to be massive. It's very underground, but people will fucking love it. People are dying to see this kind of bill; it's going to be super-evil. It's going to be the most satanic tour that's going to invade the U.S in a long time and there's going to be no tour like that in years. That's a promise; just wait and see. I can't wait for this to happen." BEHEMOTH's "Evangelia Heretika - The New Gospel Three" DVD (2010) — a three-disc set featuring two full shows ("Live In Paris 2008" and "Live In Warsaw 2009"); every BEHEMOTH music video ever made; "Evangelion" tour documentary featuring band interviews plus tons of backstage footage; and a bonus "Live in Warsaw" audio CD — was certified platinum in the Poland for sales in excess of 10,000 copies. BEHEMOTH recently released a video for the song "Lucifer", off "Evangelion". The Grupa 13-directed clip features Polish singer, guitarist, and poet Maciej Malenczuk, who also contributed guest vocals to the track. WATAIN's fourth album, "Lawless Darkness", entered the official chart in Sweden at position No. 26 and dropped to No. 37 the following week. "Lawless Darkness" sold around 1,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 42 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. "Lawless Darkness" was released in Europe on June 7, 2010 in a limited three-panel digipack edition with die-cut and a cover of DEATH SS' "Chains of Death" as a bonus track. |

An official announcement is expected tomorrow, but in the meantime, the following date has surfaced: 5/8 Toronto, ON @ The Opera House |

North America's premier heavy metal magazine is launching the maiden edition of its annual earth-scorching tour this April. The inaugural Decibel Magazine Tour will feature not just the long-awaited stateside return of Polish blackened death metal overlords Behemoth, but support from Swedish black metal provocateurs Watain, Dutch prog mystics the Devil's Blood and Swedish old-school occultists In Solitude. Beginning in April and laying waste through a gargantuan 26-date run, the Decibel Magazine Tour (presented by Metal Blade Records, IndieMerchStore.com, FYE, ESP Guitars and Good Fight Entertainment) not only offers four diverse European artists hand-picked by the magazine, but doubles as Behemoth's first U.S. tour since vocalist/guitarist Adam "Nergal" Darski's well-documented battle with—and triumph over—leukemia. Gruesome visual evidence of this tour package is forthcoming: We went all the way to Sweden to capture the frontmen and women of all four bands for our special Decibel Magazine Tour cover story, streeting in April. "Considering the fact that we'll be sharing the stage with the most evil and uncompromising bands around—Watain, the Devil's Blood and In Solitude—this already makes it a legendary bill that you can't miss out on!" promises Nergal. "Watch out. We won't show up—we will ARRIVE with all the strength and might!" "Part of Decibel's mission is to push the boundaries of what a metal publication is capable of doing," adds Decibel editor-in-chief Albert Mudrian, the tour's principal curator. "By bringing bands like Watain, the Devil's Blood and In Solitude to larger stages in the U.S, we create an additional vehicle to help raise their profiles. It's another way to infect the mainstream with the power of the underground." It only makes sense that Decibel would present a tour package with a sense of integrity, purpose and history. "It is a joint force of artistic adversity and sinister creativity," assures Watain frontman Erik Danielsson, "which makes me think of the glorious days when bands like Venom, Metallica, Exodus and Slayer toured together like a great middle finger raised towards their sheep-minded contemporaries." Excited yet? Well, here's an early opportunity to score a great deal AND avoid standing in line. Fifteen premium packages are available in each market that include your ticket to the show, a tour T-shirt, a tour poster and a super-exclusive "Skip the Line" pass to move you to the front when doors open. The price of this package is less than you would spend on a ticket and a tour shirt at the show! More details, including tour dates, venues and ticket info will be announced at www.decibelmagazinetour.com on January 24th. Every ticket purchased through Top Spin will come with a commemorative laminate, and all fans that purchase their ticket through Top Spin will be entered to win an ESP Guitar.

| _____________________________________ [Jan 20,2012 10:48am - arilliusbm ""] I love how Watain was supposed to be the rebirth of kvlt black 90s black metal but they are total autograph signing rockstars now. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 20,2012 11:20am - trioxin245 ""] I don't hate Watain, I just don't care, and Behemoth sucks. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 20,2012 11:25am - goatcatalyst ""] Watain puts puts on great show (when they're not strung out) but they've been interesting me less and less since Casus Luciferi. The Devil's Blood and In Solitude will be a treat, though |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 20,2012 11:26am - bobnomaamrooney ""] All of the bands on this tour blow. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 20,2012 11:55am - DestroyYouAlot ""] I thought sweet, merciful cancer had saved us from further Behemoth tours. WHY HAVE YOU FAILED ME, CANCER?!? |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 20,2012 12:04pm - UnclePauly ""] The Devil's Blood is the best band on earth right now. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2012 12:28pm - KEVORD ""] I actually don't mind Behemoth's albums but live they are boring as hell. Watain sucks. In Solitude are alright but I prefer my Mercyful Fate riffs with King Diamond vocals. In solitudes vocals just seem wimpy. I haven't heard much of the Devils Blood but what I've heard hasn't impressed me. Boring tour is boring. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 20,2012 1:21pm - AndrewBastard NLI ""] UnclePauly said:The Devil's Blood is the best band on earth right now. agreed. IN Solitude is a cool addition and Im not a Watain hater by any means. good show is good. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 20,2012 9:07pm - Niggerless Cage ""] add Abigail Williams and Goatwhore to the bill and you have a professional tour my friends! |
| _______________________________ [Jan 20,2012 10:27pm - Lamp ""] Behemoth would probably not play anything I would want to hear from them. I do enjoy listening to Watain sometimes but they put me to sleep at MDF. Dunno the other two bands by anything but name because I am false. Not to mention it wouldn't be worth it to see a show that will no doubt go to the Palladium or some bullshit. |

| ______________________________ [Jan 22,2012 2:02pm - Lamp ""] Who can forget this classic moment? bennyhillifier |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 5:53pm - Manowarrior ""] Watain and Behemoth both suck. Satanic my ass hair. In Solitude, I'm up in the air on them. Their riffs and atmosphere sound like they are rooted in real metal, although their hopping on one of the latest trends makes them suspect. The Devil's Blood, same deal with them. Doesn't get much trendier. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 6:02pm - the_reverend ""] Watain has catchy songs. I would be there to smell them.. er... see them again. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 24,2012 2:16pm - Mark_R ""] As much as I am not a fan of Behemoth or Watain, I'll probably go for the live aspect. I don't know anything about Watain's reputation for smelling, but if there's any advantage to this being Downstairs at the Palladium, it's that I can watch it from the back and still have a decent view. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 24,2012 2:24pm - Lamp ""] The fact that this show will probably be at the Palladium is way more of a deterrent to my attendance than any band playing there could ever be. Fuck that place. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 24,2012 4:50pm - chrisREX ""] STFU you twats. All of the bands on this tour rule. Behemoth are 100x better live than on record. Watain is the opposite, but they are quite the spectacle and usually fun. The Devil's Blood, haven't seen them, but it's the right balance of buttrock and satan, and In Solitude are riff machines. I doubt there will be a better Palladium level tour package this year. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 24,2012 4:51pm - chrisREX ""] That said, nothing will beat when Watain played to a half empty room at the upstairs Middle East. I've seen them 3 (maybe 4) times and that was the only time the stench had a real effect on me. Reeked of death. |
