Cities of Mars Announce April/May European Touring
It’s a pretty simple story with this one so I’ll try to keep it simple accordingly. Good band puts out good record, then a little while later, goes on a tour to support it. Taa-daa! That’s what it really comes down to. The band in this case are Cities of Mars from the creative hotbed that is Gothenburg, Sweden. The record was 2019’s The Horologist (review here), which served double-duty as their label debut for Ripple Music. And the tour — which is by no means their first — is an upcoming 13-day run through Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium and Norway that they’ll undertake to spread their sci-fi gospel of time-travel, cosmonaut idolatry and secrets held by the Martian underground.
See? Simple story.
Just not maybe in terms of the actual story.
Always dig seeing what these guys are up to, and if you need a refresher on The Horologist, well, there just happens to be a Bandcamp stream at the bottom of this post. How about that?
Poster rules:
Cities of Mars Spring 2020 tour!
By some stunning art of Potsdam, Germany-based artist Simon Schürmann (Instagram @boarddecor) comes tour artwork for Swedish sci-fi-doomers Cities of Mars who will be back on the road again in April 2020. For the fifth time, the riff-heavy stories of the KGB cosmonaut Nadia and ancient, solar system-spanning conspiracies of old will be delivered on stages all over Europe. A few familiar hunting grounds will be covered, as well as a few new cities and venues.
With the critically acclaimed albums The Horologist (Ripple Music) and Temporal Rifts (Argonauta Records) released and live skills honed on 70+ gigs all over the EU and UK, this tour will be thirteen days of heaviness!
