Next to an upcoming European summer run, they have now announced a next tour of North America for September-October with Revocation, Psycroptic, Skeletal Remains and Conjurer.

“This fall we hit the road and co-headline with our friends Revocation. We’re thrilled to go on tour again to play some songs from The Wake in many cities we haven’t played since the new release.
