In honour of their four decades of music-making, black metal vets Mayhem have announced plans to bring an accompanying anniversary tour to North America this fall.

In November, the influential Norwegian outfit will play six shows on the continent, packing a setlist featuring selections spanning their 1987 debut EP Deathcrush, to their most recent LP, 2019's Daemon.

Per a release, the run will "celebrate their triumphs over tribulations and tragedy with a never-before-seen performance, featuring their biggest production yet and other special surprises."

Two of the six reunion dates come in Canada. Mayhem will begin the run at Montreal's Olympia on November 12, ahead of a stop at Toronto's Concert Hall on November 15.
