Having just returned from their tour of Japan with Converge, visionary heavy music icons Neurosis have announced a new North American tour for this summer, with Bell Witch and Deafkids also on the bill.

Neurosis' previously-announced tour of Europe runs from July 11th through 27th with support from Yob. The band also plays a special one-off London performance with Godflesh on July 20th.

Upon their stateside return, Neurosis will now head back out to the Eastern US and Southeastern Canada for a run of performances in August. The new dates, confirmed to run from August 7th through August 17th, will see the band performing in Atlanta, Carrboro, Washington, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, and Chicago.

On this tour, direct support will be provided by Seattle doom metal outfit Bell Witch. Opening support will be deployed by Brazilian avant/noise/industrial trio Deafkids, who Neurosis signed to their own Neurot Recordings. This tour marks Deafkids' first time on North American soil.
