As first reported here, Portugal’s MOONSPELL and Switzerland’s SAMAEL will join forces this Fall for the Night Eternal Above America tour. Joining them will be Prosthetic Records recording artists BOOK OF BLACK EARTH and Germany’s SECRETS OF THE MOON.

Fernando Ribeiro of Moonspell commented:

“Call me emotional, but as a southern dark fuck I have the gut feeling that this will be the best and most important tour we have ever done in America! First and foremost, the music from all the bands is great, lively and emotional and sharing the stage with Samael again is an honor we highly regard. And no more 25 minute sets! For sure, we'll party less than on the great Blackest of the Black with DANZIG and DIMMU BORGIR, but we'll spend more time in the altar celebrating with you guys and that's what counts! Last, we fear not to be a headliner in a country where we know we are still giving baby steps, and we'll do our best, musically and visually to deliver upon you the Night Eternal, the solar and the lunar, in our songs and bodies. Be there for the full moon madness!”

Vorph of Samael added:

“When we first released Above, we weren’t sure we would tour for that album. But we’re thrilled this is happening and we’re glad this time America will be the first. We already gave a taste of it in March when we toured with CARCASS but on this upcoming tour it will be the chance to experiment Above on a larger scale and see how it meshed with the older material. The billing is totally to our liking and sharing the stage once again with Moonspell will be great fun for us and for the people attending those shows. See you back on the road.”
