Legendary Japanese noise artist Merzbow (a.k.a. Masami Akita) is as renowned for his ear-piercing live shows as he is for his enormous discography. A decent chunk of Canadian fans will get to experience the former in the flesh, as the performer has announced a slate of tour dates.

From there, he'll head west, with scheduled appearances set up in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. The last three shows will include support from long-running Vancouver noise performer Holzkopf.
