Feels nice to post tour dates that are happening anywhere near me, and I’ll go further and say I’m amazed that when the Agalloch/Worm Ouroboros tour comes around to New York, it’ll be in Manhattan instead of Brooklyn. Genuinely surprised about that. Saves me time driving, so no complaints.

The PR wire wants to talk black metal:

Following their triumphant West Coast US tour this past December, Pacific Northwest metal band Agalloch will be embarking on a long-awaited East Coast run in support of their critically acclaimed album Marrow of the Spirit, one of the most celebrated metal releases of 2010. Likewise, Profound Lore Records recording artists Worm Ouroboros (also featuring Agalloch and Ludicra drummer Aesop Dekker) will serve as direct support to Agalloch on the tour.

Agalloch guitarist Don Anderson commented: “After seven years we are pleased to announce that we are returning to the East Coast for a series of performances with our good friends and fellow Profound Lore recording artists Worm Ouroboros. We’ll also be playing dates in both select areas of the South and Canada. The last time we played on the East Coast was in February of 2004 with The Gathering and Novembers Doom. People can catch ongoing updates on the upcoming tour via our official Facebook page.”

The dates go as follows:
03/17 Austin, TX Barbarella Patio (as part of the Nanotear Showcase at SXSW)
03/18 New Orleans, LA One Eyed Jacks
03/19 Atlanta, GA The Earl (w/Loss)
03/20 Raleigh, NC King’s Barcade
03/21 Baltimore, MD The Sonar
03/22 New York, NY Le Poisson Rouge
03/23 Cambridge, MA Middle East
03/24 Montreal, QC Cafe Campus
03/25 London, ON The Music Hall
03/26 Cleveland, OH Beachland Ballroom
03/27 Chicago, IL Reggie’s Rock Club

Also Agalloch have been confirmed for this year’s Scion Rock Fest to take place March 5 in Pomona, California. Apparently all RSVP’s have been taken and the event is full.
