Inter Arma Announce May/June US Tour
This is old news at this point. Don’t care. I kind of like that. Nobody out there on the internet is going, “hey everybody, here’s some shit from last week.” I’ll be that guy. It’s not like the tour has started. It’s May and June.
Tell you how up on my metal I am, I just assumed that Virginia’s Inter Arma were headlining this tour. I’m sure Rivers of Nihil are great, that’s a name I’ve seen before in press releases, but neither them nor Holy Fawn can I say I’ve ever really dug into. Glacial Tomb I’ve heard, so I’m not completely ignorant here.
Wherever they are on the bill — and mind you, they could do a headlining tour too, and they could just as easy be playing with stoner or psych bands as purveyors of more extreme and aggressive fare; part of their thing is malleability — Inter Arma sally forth heralding 2024’s New Heaven (review here), which is the kind of record dudes are gonna spend years picking apart and still find shit to steal decades from now. A cause worth putting in people’s faces, and the band are devastating on stage. They don’t need me to sell it, so I won’t.
From the PR wire, again, like a week ago at this point:
INTER ARMA ANNOUNCE MAY/JUNE NORTH AMERICA TOUR WITH RIVERS OF NIHIL AND HOLY FAWN
NEW HEAVEN FULL-LENGTH OUT NOW
INTER ARMA announce their first tour of 2025 supporting Rivers of Nihil & Holy Fawn throughout North America in May/June! The tour comes on the heels of INTER ARMA releasing the New Heaven full-length in 2024 + touring throughout the US & EU.

INTER ARMA Frontman Mike Paparo Comments:
“To say we’re really fucking hyped to head out on this North American voyage with Rivers of Nihil, Holy Fawn and Glacial Tomb is an understatement. We’re chomping at the bit to hit the road and bring New Heaven (and some classic heaters) to all of you beautiful lunatics, familiar faces and new converts. We hope to see y’all out there!”
