Norwegian black metallers 1349 have recruited JOB FOR A COWBOY‘s Jon “The Charn” Rice to sit behind the kit for their upcoming North American tour as the support act for MARDUK. The trek, which kicks off June 2 in Baltimore, marks 1349‘s first activity on this continent since 2010, when they supported CANNIBAL CORPSE and TRIPTYKON on separate treks. That same year saw the release of the critically acclaimed “Demonoir”, which Decibel magazine called “a riff-packed, forward-looking blast of rockin’-yet-technical grimness.”
Commented 1349 frontman Ravn: “After touring North America at least once a year, this tradition was broken in 2011, so it is with honor we accepted the invitation from MARDUK to tour with them. We look forward to once again cross this continent and spread our Aural Hellfire.”
The tour will include one 1349 headline performance at The Glass House in Pomona, California on June 18. After wrapping up the tour in San Diego two nights later, the group will travel to Chile, where they will perform at Santiago’s Club 334 on June 23.
