Notorious Swedish black metal collective, Watain, have announced that it will join forces with equally infamous Norwegian black metal legends, Mayhem, for a tour through North America, aptly labeled The Sanguine Sodomy Of North America, starting on March 7. They will be supported by US blackened speed metal punks, Midnight.

Watain and Mayhem issued the following statement: "Mayhem and Watain are delighted to announce that what is to become known in history as the sanguine sodomy of North America is set to take place in the spring of 2022, with both our bands at the helm and with the infamous Midnight joining us as special guests. We hereby invite all of our North American friends and foes to celebrate the return of Darkness and Evil to your lands, and to join us in what is destined to become one legendary Hell of a tour!"

Watain have just wrapped up the recording of their seventh studio album, which will be released in spring 2022 through Nuclear Blast.
