Polish black metal icons Batushka have announced their 2023 North American headline tour, featuring support from Swallow The Sun and labelmates Stormruler. The tour kicks off in Brooklyn, NY on August 14, visiting several major cities in the US and Canada before coming to an end on September 5 in Orlando, FL.
Tickets will be available via local venues, and fans can purchase meet & greet packages via the band's official website.
Batushka offers: “PILGRIMS! After last year's successful tour, we are returning to the sacred lands of North America! Together with Swallow the Sun and Stormruler, we will make a pilgrimage to celebrate the black liturgy in the lands of North America again! Prepare your souls for purification and prayer together!"
Batushka recently announced their signing to Napalm Records! Hailing from the deepest shadows of eastern Poland, Batushka are more than ready to bring their bone-shaking essence of arcane black metal to the next level. Following the band’s critically acclaimed debut album, Litourgiya (2015), and sophomore album Hospodi (2019), fans should be prepared for the next unholy, cataclysmic ritual of sinister black metal - coming soon.
