Church of Misery Announce 25th Anniversary North American Tour; Two New Songs Posted
Seen above with a friendly birthday clown, Japanese doom institution Church of Misery will return to US shores next year to embark on a special tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of the band. In addition to this righteous news — tickets are on sale now for most shows, with more going up tomorrow; you know how to find shit online, so you don’t need me to barrage you with the links — is the news that in addition to Black Wizard for part of the tour, they’ll also have along Forming the Void and they’ll meet up with Truckfighters and Valley of the Sun along the way. I don’t care how many acts do or don’t wind up on the bill, if you’ve got Church of Misery and Truckfighters playing a show, those two alone make it a festival. But fortunately the rest of the bill also kicks ass.
As a bonus, Church of Misery have posted recent live videos of two new songs, titled “Hungerford Massacre” and “Unabomber,” the former bridging out from serial killers to mass shootings for subject matter. Certainly there’s plenty of material to be mined there. More all the time, in fact.
Dates follow:

Going to the Middle East show. CoM and Truckfighters. WOO-HOO!!
Since all the last members who played in “Houses” and “kingdom” have quit ever since , of course except Tatsu I wish he would have put together the Hellfest 2011 line up , that was as killer as those albums line up
Lets see how this line up sounds
