METAL BLADE has issued the following:
GHOST is pleased to announce their return to the States for their “13 Dates of Doom” tour featuring direct support from Toronto, Ontario witch rockers Blood Ceremony with Austin TX death rockers Ancient VVisdom opening the tour. The “13 Dates of Doom” tour marks the Ghouls’ first return to the States since their now infamous stops at Maryland Death Fest and The Studio at Webster Hall in NYC after some last minute complications with the Ghouls’ visas prevented the band from performing on the recent Enslaved tour.
The Ghoul with No Name comments “It is with an evil haunting chuckle that we are announcing that we are finally coming to North America. In the name of Satan, we will conduct thirteen rituals in thirteen different cities throughout the United States and Canada and now we are summoning all of our devotees to partake in these blasphemous eves of black magic.”
GHOST cult leader “The Ghoul with No Name” and his anonymous ghouls will be touring in support of the band’s debut album Opus Eponymous, which has been called “must have stuff” by Blistering adding that “Ritual is one of the best classic metal songs in recent memory,” while Alarm Press calls out the album as “wildly catchy and full of melodic twists.” Read below to see what else press has had to say about GHOST’s debut full-length Opus Eponymous.
