Score one for the miserable bastards out there anytime Sourvein hits the road. The band, who’ve released numerous splits and EPs in their nearly 18 years together but only have two full-lengths under their belt (2000’s Salvation and 2002’s Will to Mangle) have had more lineup changes than anyone can count and have somehow still come out of it with a reputation as a must-see live act. Vocalist/founder T-Roy Medlin — long since the only original member left — is nonetheless leading the charge into a 2011 that will see them release a third LP and tour Europe with a stop at Roadburn‘s Afterburner show on April 17.

Before that, though, they’re doing a run of dates on some of which they’ll be joined by Jucifer. For those who would pick up what the PR wire’s putting down:

North Carolina doom metal heathens, Sourvein, will kick off a short US tour this March. Dubbed the “Disturbing the Peace Tour 2011,” the band will be joined by Jucifer on select dates. Said vocalist/guitarist T-Roy Medlin of the upcoming jaunt: “Can’t wait to hit the road with Jucifer, bring the doom and unleash some new songs’!”
