Swedish black metal legends Watain have announced plans to conquer audiences across North America in early 2018 as they embark on a headlining tour next winter featuring direct support from Deströyer 666.

Says Watain: "We are very pleased to announce our eager return to the North American continent with Triden Wolf Eclipse. The two Black Metal Warfare tours of 2015 clearly showed us the ever growing hunger and force of our American crowd, so with a new album out and the addition of none less than the mighty Deströyer 666 to the bill, this should turn into something legendary! A proud hail to all our North American supporters, see you in February, joined in morbid ecstasy and raw fucking power!"

The album is also available in a variation of different vinyl colours from selected mail order/retail stores.

"After 20 years of carving our own path through and out of the world, Trident Wolf Eclipse feels like a worthy point of arrival indeed. One of power and force, shining a new harsh light upon all that has been, those that perished along the way, the life altering struggle and triumphant ecstasy of Watain. Trident Wolf Eclipse is however not about the past, nor the future, it is about here and now, and we sincerely look forward to show you all what that implies. To all those that are as impatient as we are for that day to come; Thank you for your unending support and see you soon." - Watain, October 31, the year of our Lord 2017
