Norwegian black metal legends Emperor have announced plans to return to North America following the band's successful siege last spring. With sold out rooms across the region, Emperor executed a masterclass that focused on essentials from their timeless albums, In the Nightside Eclipse and the 1997 LP, Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk.
Making their return, Emperor has firmed up plans for the Spring with the Emperial Wrath tour. The trek begins March 27th in Toronto, ON and draws to a dramatic close with a finale at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on April 12th. Adding to the significance of the tour, Emperor have tapped extreme metal mystics Blood Incantation as the special guest direct support.
For Blood Incantation, the tour serves as an extension of their Absolute Elsewhere campaign. The late 2024 full length has been hailed as one of extreme music's most definitive releases, earning universal acclaim as one not only one of the best metal albums of the year, but of any genre on the year overall.
Tickets for the Emperial Wrath North American tour are set to go on sale November 21st at 10am local time. A complete list of dates and cities can be found below. Get tickets - HERE
