Polish black metal-band Batushka has recently announced their North American headline tour taking place from August to September. The tour will feature supporting acts from Swallow The Sun and Stormruler, the latter of whom they share a record label with.

“Pilgrims! After last year’s successful tour, we are returning to the sacred lands of North America!” Batushka says. “Together with Swallow The Sun and Stormruler, we will be making a pilgrimage to celebrate the black liturgy in the lands of North America again! Prepare your souls for purification and prayer together!”

According to MetalSucks, Batushka had released their Maria compilation which featured their two most recent EP’s Carju Niebiesnyj and Raskol.
