According to Century Media, This past Sunday (June 15th), Swedish black metal tyrants WATAIN returned to North America to deliver their infamous stage ceremony of blood, fire, and death. During this special performance at the Brooklyn Bazaar, the band hurled pig’s blood into the crowd, baptizing NY fans in filth as part of their Satanic ritual. For a video clip from the show, head over to TMZ.com for the exclusive, “disgusting” footage, at this location.
While WATAIN’s Brooklyn concert will be the trio’s only US appearance of 2014, the band promises to bring their uncompromised live show back to the States soon. Fans abroad can catch WATAIN at various European festivals throughout the summer, where the band will be playing in support of their critically acclaimed fifth full-length, The Wild Hunt, which was unleashed last year worldwide via Century Media Records. To purchase The Wild Hunt, please visit iTunes for a digital copy or CM Distro for a variety of physical formats.
