Cities of Mars & Nekromant Announce May Tour Dates

Posted in Whathaveyou on February 6th, 2018 by JJ Koczan

Everyone knows there’s nothing like riffs in Springtime, and you can expect a shared tour between Swedish outfits Cities of Mars and Nekromant will offer plenty of them. Both groups are riding high off their 2017 debuts, and Nekromant — who, to be fair, had a record out in 2015 under their original moniker, Serpent — will have the added occasion of celebrating their signing to Ripple Music for the release of their next album. A bit of news there I hadn’t heard, but cheers to them and of course another cool pickup for the label.

Should be an interesting mix of styles between Cities of Mars‘ weighted rolling grooves and the proto-heavy stylizations Nekromant bring to bear, but that’s hardly an impossible gap to cross. Banner and dates follow here, courtesy of the PR wire:

Nekromants of Mars Tour 2018 – Cities of Mars & Nekromant

Two of Sweden’s hardest working bands are joining forces for a shared headline Euro tour in May. Cities of Mars and Nekromant both come from the riff-heavy Gothenburg area in Western Sweden and have crossed paths before. After enjoying a shared packed-house gig in Berlin together in October 2017 stars aligned even more into a shared tour. Cities of Mars bring their latest material from the critically acclaimed Temporal Rifts album (out on Argonauta Records), Nekromant will be shredding tunes from their likewise well-received latest effort Snakes & Liars that brought them to a deal with Ripple Music for an upcoming album.

The bulk of the dates are set as below, but a few more gigs might still turn up from the fertile heavy underground of Europe.

May 11 Potsdam, Germany – Archiv
May 12 Freiburg, Germany – White Rabbit
May 13 Utrecht, Netherlands – ACU
May 14 Antwerp, Belgium – Kid’s Rhythm n’ Blues Kaffee
May 15 Lyon, France – Blogg
May 16 Le Mans, France – Le Lezard
May 17 Paris, France – L’International
