Notorious Swedish black metal collective WATAIN has announced a tour named “Agony & Ecstasy Over Europe” which will take place in May 2023. Borrowing its name from WATAIN’s most recent album, The Agony & Ecstasy Of Watain, this live run mainly focuses on the Eastern and the southern parts of Europe. Supports will be BÖLZER (CH) and CONCRETE WINDS (FI) and the ticket pre-sale will start on Monday, February 6th.
WATAIN commented: “The winds of Darkness blow again! In May, we will head out on the ‘Agony & Ecstasy over Europe’ tour, taking us into the South and Eastern regions of Europe as well as a few selected off shoots. The dates also include WATAIN‘s first show ever in Makedonia as well as in Rome,
Italy.
“As special guests we have again invited the mighty Swiss power duo BÖLZER to set the mood with their serene invocations of primordial force. Furthermore we will also be joined by CONCRETE WINDS, a band that during the past years have taken the underground by storm with their mutant form of unhinged brutality, something that has to be heard and seen to be fully comprehended. 16 wild nights of Metallic ecstasy in honor of the Devilgod awaits, and we call for you all to join us! Tickets will be released on February 6th. Support us by getting yours early and by spreading the word about the tour in any way you can!”
