The band are currently on the road in the U.S. with Nile, Skeletonwitch and Hour of Penance, but following that they'll be playing all over Canada this spring. The Canuck outing will begin on May 16 in Vancouver. From there, the band will head east all the way to the Atlantic provinces, and all told, they have 14 shows scheduled in our country.
