Netherlands-based death metal legends PESTILENCE recently announced dates for their upcoming European tour (with support from THE NEW DOMINION).

Norwegian black metallers VREID have now announced that they will be part of the trek, from April 12th - 26th (dates below).

Vreid bassist Hváll states: "Pestilence is one of those dinosaurs that will never die. They have been away for 15 years, but are now back stronger than ever. Back in the early 90’s Pestilence, DEATH and CARCASS were top notch in my book, and songs like ‘Out Of The Body’, ‘Twisted Truth’ and ‘Parracide’ are timeless classics. Some weeks ago we were asked to join the Pestilence reunion European tour as special guests – this is a great honour for us.”

We have just finished a tremendous European tour with KAMPFAR and ISKALD. We did not know what to expect as this was a headliner tour, but the response was amazing. The venues were crowded, the audience gave us killer feedback, and the shows in London, Paris and Bischofswerda were some of the highlights. The new songs were working out very well live, and the live set these days is without doubt the strongest set ever.

The Skogstur was the first part of the Milorg tour 09. The second part will start at the Inferno festival in Oslo, and from there we go to London with Pestilence. The Pestilence tour will once again bring us to the great rock cities of Paris and London, as well as new venues in Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Italy and Switzerland."
