Pagan Knights North American Tour Featuring TÝR, ALESTORM - First Dates Revealed
October 14, 2008, 16 years ago
Napalm Records has announced the first batch of confirmed dates/venues for the forthcoming Pagan Knights tour, featuring Faroese Viking metallers TÝR and Scottish pirate metallers ALESTORM. Since the 2006 Napalm re-release of the band's Eric the Red, Týr have continued to amaze an ever-growing legion of fans with their epic and progressive brand of pagan metal, culminating in this year's highly-anticipated Land, which also saw the band reach North American shores earlier this year for the inaugural Paganfest tour. Alestorm have gained notoriety much through the "word of mouth" route: their debut album, Captain Morgan's Revenge, was released quietly at the beginning of the year but continued to build momentum, so much so that the band's patented True Scottish Pirate Metal simply HAD to be heard live on these shores. Joining both Týr and Alestorm will be SPV recording artists SUIDAKRA. The confirmed dates/venues so far:
