Avant-garde psych metal trio ZOROASTER has announced fall, 2009 US and European tours in support of its new album, Voice Of Saturn.

Zoroaster, the Atlanta-based group who has been called "one of the US's most promising underground metal bands" while drawing stark comparisons to GODFLESH, SLEEP and the MELVINS will headline the North America Is Doomed Tour, beginning August 1st. Starting September 21st, Zoroaster will appear as hand-picked support for GOJIRA, teaming up with the French band for two weeks of live dates during its fall run supporting METALLICA and LAMB OF GOD.

Immediately following the US dates with Gojira, Zoroaster will launch a month-long European tour alongside experimental black metal bands ABSU and NACHTMYSTIUM. The tour - Zoroaster’s first ever European live trek - is slated to launch on October 16th in Darmstadt, Germany and will run through November 7th in Rotterdam, Holland.

A full listing of upcoming Zoroaster tour dates can be found at this location.

Zoroaster's live show has been described as "an obliteration of the senses", earning the three piece the title of “Atlanta’s loudest band". Formed in Atlanta, GA in 2003 out of the need for “sedation by high volumes and low frequencies", Zoroaster has met to shining praise from both metal and indie rock press alike since its formation, receiving accolade for its deafening power, use of left-of-center instrumentation (which has included Moog synths, theremins, ominous vocal choirs and even brass sections) and unique take on heavy music.

Recorded at Atlanta’s The Living Room Studios (THE BLACK LIPS, MASTODON), Voice Of Saturn pushes Zoroaster’s heady mix of mammoth metal and psychotropic shoegaze to skyscraping new heights. From the galloping post-Sabbath rock of the roll out track 'Spirit Molecule' to the concrete street cleaning of 'Lamen Of The Master Therion' and through to the tribal percussive vertebrae of the album’s “hidden” closer, Voice Of Saturn administers in-the-red levels of both the band’s mysticism and barbarism in spades.

The new Zoroaster song 'White Dwarf', which features a searing guitar solo and backing vocals from fellow Atlanta rocker Brent Hinds of Mastodon, can be heard now at this location.

Zoroaster features guitarist / vocalist Will Fiore, bassist / vocalist Brent Anderson and drummer / percussionist Dan Scanlan.
