In support of their latest masterpiece,
Erebos, Polish extremists HATE are set to take North America by storm with a massive tour that kicks off next week (March 9th) at Jaxx in Springfield, VA. For the first leg of the tour, HATE will team up with Rotting Christ, Melechesh, Abigail Williams and Lecherous Nocturne for 30 shows.
For the second tour, which begins on April 18th, HATE will support Sepultura, Belphegor and, on select shows Nevermore, during a 38-show run covering the US and Canada. The band has also been confirmed to play some extra concerts between the mentioned tours. The HATE North America invasion will contain altogether 76 shows in the period of three months! Bandleader ATF Sinner comments,
“We’ve been looking for such an opportunity for years. It’s going to be the biggest and most presigious tour we’ve taken part in, and we just can’t wait to be there to spew Erebos songs on the crowds! I know such a long tour is a challenge, but I’m sure we’re well prepare for it. It’s gonna be our second tour in North America after last year’s raid with Hypocrisy which was a great experience for us.”
For a taste of the mayhem to come, check out this video of the band performing the song “Luminous Horizon” from Erebos live in Kiev.
