Watain Announces North American Tour

As reported earlier this week, Behemoth was forced to pull out of their upcoming North American tour as a result of frontman Nergal being in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant. The remaining bands slated for that tour, Watain, Goatwhore, and Black Anvil, have decided to proceed ahead without Behemoth on a month-long North American tour that starts November 6. Rising Swedish black metal horde Watain will headline the jaunt, which storms through St. Paul at Station 4 on Monday, November 8. Locals Nailed Shut and Under Eden will open the St. Paul show. Watain's latest album, Lawless Darkness has been garnering heaps of praise from both fans and critics. The full tour schedule is listed below.
