WATAIN To Tour North America, Finland
July 22, 2008, 15 years ago
Swedish black metallers WATAIN have issued the following update:
"Yes, the rumors are true...One and a half years after their triumphant display of magic and death upon North America, Watain shall now return to those lands on a headliner tour.
Due to the strict prohibitions of anything Satanic and Criminal passing over the border to USA, a lot of compromises had to be made on the last US tour regarding both members and stage-show.
This time however, the full artillery shall be brought across the sea, in all it's terrible glory. The first date is on October 3rd and after that the tour shall storm from Canada through USA on what shall constitute the last part of the monstrous crusade that has been the Fuck the World Tour."
