Samothrace Announce Winter Tour Dates
Good news that Samothrace are coming east for a US tour in support of 2012’s Reverence to Stone (review here). That record killed and I missed them last time they rolled out this way. This time the calendar is marked and hopefully a piano doesn’t fall on my head between now and then. If one falls on it afterwards, well, fair enough. At least I got to see Samothrace.
The PR wire sent over this announcement earlier, and would you believe I wasn’t sitting in front of a keyboard? Fixed that right up.

SAMOTHRACE Confirms American Winter Tour Routing
SAMOTHRACE has posted the confirmed routing for their upcoming Winter US tour, as the crew continue to support their acclaimed second LP, Reverence To Stone. The bedlam will unravel with a hometown show in Seattle on February 15th, then continues on a mangled, counter-clockwise loop through the Midwest, Gulf Coast, Southeast and up the East Coast on their way back westward, with eighteen cities confirmed to endure their slow motion turmoil during the venture. The majority of the dates will see SAMOTHRACE forging alongside Metal Blade doom trio Pilgrim.
The touring will continue this Spring, as SAMOTHRACE will advance onto European soil for the first time ever, the band confirmed to perform at Heavy Days in Doomtown, an international DIY doom/stoner/sludge festival in Ungdomshuset, Copenhagen, Denmark running from May 2nd through the 5th. At this year’s event they will rage the stage alongside Graves At Sea, Pagan Altar, Cough, Procession, Danava, Moss, Bell Witch, Dark Buddah Rising, Conan, Lecherous Gaze, labelmates Mournful Congregation and loads more. Following the fest the quartet will traverse the European continent on an additional two-week tour, with dates to be announced in the coming weeks.
