WRETCH Featuring Former THE GATES OF SLUMBER Vocalist KARL SIMON Announce US Tour Dates

Indianapolis-based doom metal trio, Wretch, has announced U. tour dates in support of its self-titled debut album. The trek will launch on November 8th in Indianapolis, when the band shares the stage with Nik Turner's Hawkwind.

The Wretch tour will run through November 22nd in Chicago, hitting Detroit, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and more, along the way. Released on August 26th via Bad Omen Records, Wretch has met to staunch acclaim.

Featuring vocalist / guitarist Karl Simon, formerly of underground legends The Gates of Slumber, alongside drummer Chris Gordon and bassist Bryce Clarke, Wretch rises from the ashes of the musician's past project, which ended tragically with the passing of Gates' bassist Jason McCash in 2014. With Wretch, Simon carries on valiantly with the musical mission he began some eighteen years ago. In Wretch, the trio has laid down a fearsome salvo of cast-iron riffage and heartfelt traditional metal heraldry, shot through with a steely conviction instilled by the experiences of recent days.

Additionally, Wretch has been confirmed as one of the featured acts at the 2017 Roadburn Festival, set for April 20th - 23rd in Tilburg, The Netherlands. The band will perform on Thursday, April 20th.

11 - Detroit, MI - Small's
