Finnish melancholic dark metal legends Amorphis will return to North America this autumn on a co-headlining tour with their comrades Dark Tranquillity. The journey, which will hit over two dozen cities, will commence on 3 September in Richmond, Virginia and closes on 6 October in New York City. Fires In The Distance will provide the support.
Amorphis comments: "We are more than excited to announce this tour with our brothers from Sweden, Dark Tranquillity. It's been a while, and we certainly miss our North American fans. It will be a one-of-a-kind Scandinavian death metal package with both bands performing in a headliner status every night. We'll blast through the continent like a storm; so see you all there and let's have a metal night to remember".
Tickets for this must-see tour go on sale this Friday, 10 May. Link
