Sweden's Viking/doom/black metal force Ereb Altor are set to embark on their previously announced European tour in support of their latest album, Hälsingemörker, released in February 2025 via Hammerheart Records.
The Rites of the Blood Moon tour begins tomorrow, 11 February, at Stengade in Copenhagen (DK), before taking the band across six countries and concluding at the Cernunnos Pagan Festival in Noisiel (FR). Support on this run comes from Skyforger, Wolfchant, and Belore. Full tour dates can be found below.
Hailing from the mythical dark forests of Hälsingland, Ereb Altor rise once more, conjuring the ancient spirits of Scandinavia through their signature blend of epic Viking metal. Their music breathes life into tales of old — mythology, legend, and mysticism woven into thunderous riffs and evocative atmospheres.
Their latest release, Hälsingemörker, marks a new chapter in the Ereb Altor saga. The album delves deep into the shadows and lore of ancient Scandinavia, crafting a sonic landscape as majestic as it is immersive. Link
