American progressive death metal quintet, Black Crown Initiate, will be part of the second edition of the Faces Of Death tour. Featuring a crushing five-band package, next year's tour will be delivering cuts of the finest death metal direct into the faces of mosh loving diehards over 23 shows across 12 European countries.

Co-headlining the second edition of Faces Of Death will be acclaimed American tech/prog death metal heavyweights Rivers Of Nihil and Canadian technical death metal powerhouse Archspire. The phenomenal Allegaeon from the US will be delivering their brand of crushing noise to the masses, while Black Crown Initiate will be melting faces along with fast rising, unsigned Aussie newcomers To The Grave. From the very first riff to the final snarling vocal, this lineup will deliver non-stop mosh brutality every night.  

COVID hit Europe before the first Faces Of Death Tour could be finished, but this time make sure to strap yourselves in for the ride and don’t miss out on the heaviest tour of 2021.

Tickets and exclusive bundles go on sale on Friday, December 11 at 11 AM CET / 10 AM, UK time, here.
