Watain work their Black Metal Magic on North American tour

July 25, 2008 12:20 p.m. by Etan Rosenbloom

Those afraid of skinned pig heads, fire, and the putrid stench of the tr00th better stay home during October. because Swedish black metal artisans Watain are coming to town for the unholy Black Metal Magic tour with fellow blood-drinkers Withered and Book of Black Earth. Let it be known: Watain shows are infamous for their perverse aesthetics on stage, so much so that this tour comes with its own disclaimer: "The performances of Watain are widely known to bring forth and include things that may not be appreciated by the average concert visitor. Unholy, disturbing things that have left scars on many a soul, but that have also enlightened and brought great pleasure to those whose hearts burn with the black fires of forbidden hunger." Don't go thinking that visual shock 'n awe is all that Watain has to offer -- the band's Sworn to the Dark was one of the best best pure black metal albums of last year.
