American Gothic purveyors WAYFARER will be embarking on a full North American tour this spring in support of ORANSSI PAZUZU! The trek will kick off during Northwest Terror Fest on May 8 and will make its way through the continent until the curtain draws on May 30 at Prepare the Ground Festival in Toronto, ON. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets can be found HERE.
WAYFARER guitarist/vocalist Shane McCarthy comments, “We look forward to crossing the country again, this time in the company of one of the strongest artists in contemporary heavy music in Oranssi Pazuzu.
“This trek will signal the end of the AMERICAN GOTHIC era, as that material will ride on stage along with unearthing a few cuts that have not been played in sometime.
“We look forward to ripping stages across the country this spring – join us for a two act bill that shouldn’t be missed.”
WAYFARER will be touring in support of 2023’s critically-acclaimed album, ‘American Gothic,’ which was released on October 27, 2023 via Century Media (Europe) and Profound Lore Records (North America). The album was lauded as one of the best albums of 2023 by Rolling Stone, Decibel Magazine (#3), Metal Hammer UK, and many others! The album can be streamed, downloaded, or ordered HERE.

Steeped as deeply in the wells of gothic country and Americana as they are in black metal, WAYFARER have given a sound and a face to the American West in the world of heavy music.
Hailing from Denver, Colorado, and having carved out their identity for over a decade with five full length albums and tours around the world – the band are putting the final notes on the chapter that started with the heralded release of ‘AMERICAN GOTHIC.’
Released in late 2023 to acclaim for music publications worldwide, the album placed at or near the top in many year-end accolades from sources like Rolling Stone, Metal Hammer, Decibel Magazine and more – and saw the band make their mark at festival and club stages around the world.
They ride across the United States one final time for the ‘AMERICAN GOTHIC’ era, alongside Finland’s mind melting ORANSSI PAZUZU in their first proper US tour in nearly a decade. WAYFARER will take stages across the country with riff soaked elegies of blood and gunpowder in tow.
