Purpura Announce April European Touring

Purpura

I don’t know for anything, but maybe Purpura are setting themselves up for a before-and-after kind of situation. They released their debut album, Storm I, in 2017 and are set to follow it up with a sophomore effort — perhaps Storm II? — later this year. At the same time, the tour dates they’ve announced that will take up the better part of August and find them leaving their native Spain for a round of shows in France, Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, are said to be “Part I” with presumably a second round to follow. Well that’s neat. Okay, so band is on the cusp of putting out their second LP and touring ahead of time, and then in the Fall when they go back out, they’ll have the album in tow. Before, meet after.

What I wonder is how much new material they’ll be playing on this tour. It could be that these shows are how they’ll finalize at least some of the material ahead of hitting the studio, thereby making it all the more relevant to the writing and recording process that they’ll celebrate their next time out. They’re new to me, but after checking out Storm I, which you can also stream below, it’s readily worth looking forward to how their next offering comes out.

From the PR wire:

Experimental Post-Metal duo “Purpura” (Spain), with strong influences from bands like Isis, Amenra or Russian Circles, will carry out the first part of their second European tour on April 2019, consisting of 22 dates distributed between France, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

The duo is currently in the process of composition of their second studio album which will be presented on the second part of the European tour, taking place on October/November of 2019 and also announcing their participation in European festivals scheduled for this year.
