News : Watain touring Australia with Mayhem next January

By on October 8, 2013

Last week Metal Obsession received word from Soundworks Touring that black metal pioneers Mayhem will be returning to Australia early next year to celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary.

Moments ago Soundworks Touring reveled a huge surprise. Watain, the untamed Swedish black metal wolves have been added to Mayhem‘s 30th anniversary Australian tour, making for the purist and bleakest black metal package of a lifetime for Australian metal audiences. Watain last toured Australia in 2012 as part of the Soundwave Festival line-up.

Watain @ Soundwave Festival 2012

Musically fueled by forefathers such as Venom, Bathory, Metallica and Mercyful Fate, and spiritually fuelled by the lawless will of the liberated spirit, WATAIN is that dangerous flame of Metal that seemed lost for many years, and that now once again has been set loose upon the dying world. Taking things to the next step – whatever the costs are. This has always been WATAIN’s goal from day one and this has never been truer than with “The Wild Hunt”, their fifth full-length album and out now.
