Blackened speed metal entity WORMWITCH are pleased to announce that they will be touring the UK this November in support of WINTERFYLLETH along with BIZARREKULT. WORMWITCH will be supporting their eponymous fourth studio album, which was released on July 26, 2024 via Profound Lore Records! The full itinerary can be found below while tickets will be made available on Thursday, September 5, @ 10:00 A.M. UK time.
WINTERFYLLETH comments, "“Today we are excited to announce that we will be embarking on a full UK tour in November 2024, to support our new album, ‘The Imperious Horizon.'
"The tour will comprise a week of shows across many corners of the UK (some of which we have never visited before), and represents our first extensive UK tour in 3+ years.
"Coming along for the ride will be the formidable Wormwitch from Canada, who recently released their self-titled fourth album on Profound Lore Records. In addition to them, we have the excellent progressive BM band Bizarrekult from Norway joining the tour as well. They are excited to bring last year’s ‘Den tapte krigen’ album to British shores for the first time and add another unique flavour to the line up.
"We look forward to seeing you all in November. Until then!”
WORMWITCH sets out to combine a melodic blackened death assault with the ferocity and attitude of crust punk and classic rock and roll, jettisoning the burdens of ceremony and pomp that dominate the genre today.
The album can be pre-ordered in various formats HERE.
Like black wings from an obsidian sky, WORMWITCH descended from the darkness in 2015, somewhere upon the rain-soaked woodlands of coastal British Columbia. Animated from the bones of several local punk and metal bands, the new entity set out to combine a melodic blackened death assault with the ferocity and attitude of crust punk and classic rock and roll, jettisoning the burdens of ceremony and pomp that dominate the genre today.
WORMWITCH released their first demo, 'The Long Defeat' in 2015, and shortly after signed to Prosthetic Records, under whom they released 'Strike Mortal Soil' (2017), 'Heaven that Dwells Within' (2019), and 'Wolf Hex' (2021). During that time the band toured with the likes of The Black Dahlia Murder, Suffocation, Midnight, Necrot, Uada, Bewitcher, and many others, earning themselves a dedicated cult following and international critical praise. In 2022, WORMWITCH struck out to independently release a string of singles and embark upon several tours of North America. After a busy festival season, 2024 saw the release of a six-song split with Atlanta black-thrashers Sadistic Ritual.
Now, with blades meticulously honed and tempered under the light of a feral Canadian moon, WORMWITCH emerges once more to offer their fourth full length record. Simply self-titled, “Wormwitch” is a statement of a band coming into it’s own - a revelrous celebration of devilish speed, searing melody and diabolical intensity.
