Two heavyweights of dark electronic music are teaming up for a North American tour later this year: EBM/future-pop leaders VNV Nation and industrial pioneers Skinny Puppy.

The just-announced Alliance of Sound tour, which also features German electronic music veterans Haujobb and Los Angeles industrial duo Youth Code, comes to Boston’s House of Blues on November 30.

Here’s the presser: “In an effort to unite instead of isolate, The Alliance of Sound plans on bringing the different flavors of electronic music together for an unforgettable tour. For perhaps the first time in the history of electronic music, two of the biggest and most disparate names in electronic-based music – SKINNY PUPPY and VNV NATION, are banding together for a 17-date tour of North America, with support from HAUJOBB and YOUTH CODE. Kicking off at the end of November at Toronto’s Sound Academy, the tour will circle the continent, and wrap up at Pomona, CA’s Fox Theater in December”.

Both VNV Nation (Transnational) and Skinny Puppy (Weapon) released new records in 2013, and both were responsible for some of our favorite live shows of 2014: VNV at Royale in May, and Skinny Puppy, also at the Tremont Street nightclub, in February. Watch video of those performances below.

All full dates are below; tickets are likely to go on sale this week or next. We’ll update our info when we get specifics. UPDATE 4:26 p.m.: Tickets go on sale at noon this Friday, July 25, through Ticketmaster.
