UPDATE, June 11th, 5:49pm EST: This tour has been postponed due to visa issues. There is a possibility the NYC date plus the band’s appearance at the Stardust festival will be salvaged. More info here.

Late spring and early summer are the best times to catch metal tours in the U.S.; while so many of the “bigger” bands are busy working the festival circuit in Europe, those that wanna grind it out on the road the old fashioned way are left with a metal-starved, salivating audience Stateside. As such it seems like a lot of the best, smaller tours end up happening around this time of year, and that’s when we can really get our grime on.

2015 will be no different, and boy have we got a banger for you: MetalSucks is incredibly pleased to present Taake’s upcoming North American tour in support of their sixth full-length Stridens hus. The Norwegians will be tapping two American bands for support: Midwest black metallers Wolvhammer and the most legitimately scary band on planet Earth, Young and in the Way. This is one you definitely don’t wanna miss, so come and get grim with us when the tour hits your town.
