Portland (USA)-based one-man blackened doom metal act Mizmor has announced an extensive European tour schedule, including festival appearances at Soulcrusher Fest, Damnation Fest, Amplifest and more. The 24-date tour kicks off in the Netherlands on 12 October, before the final curtain drops in Portugal on 9 November. A full list of dates and venues can be found below.
"I am beyond thrilled to finally bring Mizmor across Europe and the UK this fall", A.L.N. states. "Though we've played fests in the Netherlands before, never in the 12 year history of the project have we actually toured the continent. I've eagerly awaited the moment when it finally made sense for us to do this. We will be debuting our new live line-up which features Mizmor mainstay Andrew Black of Litha on lead guitar (formerly bass), Jesse Shreibman of Bell Witch on drums, and Blake Ferrin (ex-Sorceress) on bass. We will be performing a mixture of songs from Prosaic, Yodh, and Cairn. Hope to see you there!"
Founded in 2012, the content behind Mizmor is that of existential - primal and innate musings about cause, purpose, self, and god. It is the search for light and truth, or the fact that there is none. It comes from an embittered, burned, confused, and broken heart. It is the fight for survival when reason and foundation have turned to nothingness. It is the crashing down of towers of falsehood and the freedom that comes through a certain kind of grief.
Ultimately, Mizmor is the manifestation of a long-felt depression whose end is not in sight and with the band's latest album Prosaic, which was released in 2023 via Profound Lore Records, another intimate and intense chapter of Mizmor has been revealed and will now be taken to European shores.
