Canadian genre-benders WAKE have announced touring plans for May. Originally a crust/grindcore band, the Alberta acted have morphed into one of the fiercest black/death forces around, with sick albums like 2020’s ‘Devouring Ruin’ and 2022’s colossal ‘Thought Form Descent’ marking them as favorites for extreme metal enthusiasts.
Comments guitarist Rob LaChance: “It‘s been seven long years since we last wreaked havoc on European soil and in May, we make our return. We‘re excited to bring Thought Form Decent, Devouring Ruin and the liminal space in-between to our European and UK comrades!”
