Atlanta, Georgia, metallurgists BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE have announced an October/November European headlining tour in support of their latest album, Celestial Completion, released earlier this summer on Solid State Records.

The tour - spanning 20 dates and 10 countries - sees the adventurous metal act's first dates outside of North America since the release of Celestial Completion. Supporting BTA on select dates are Finland's IMMORTAL SOULS and France's BEYOND THE DUST.

"BTA has a strong connection with European things, especially chocolate," explains guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist/chocolate enthusiast 'Count' Seth Hecox. "We love northern European metal and the castles and all the obviously epic metal elements that make Europe way more awesome than America. But mainly we love the chocolate."
"Also, we like being warm, so we'd like to request that Europe is to turn the temperature up. Our last time in Europe is was rather cold for us warm-blooded Americans. Can we get the whole continent up to a nice, comfortable temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit or so? As a refined musician, I abstain from putting forth the effort to convert that to Celsius. Kidding. Just make it warmer."
