CHURCH OF MISERY U.S. TOUR

Highly respected Japanese doom metal band CHURCH OF MISERY has announced a U.S. headlining tour that will kick off on May 24 in Providence, RI.  Presented by Brooklyn Vegan, the two week trek will showcase one of metal’s most bizarre and exotic bands and one that Rolling Stone called “a dynamic articulated hell, like the Tokyo-Blue-Cheer crush of Boris but grounded in the British white-blues nightmares of early Seventies Black Sabbath.”  The tour will include special CHURCH OF MISERY appearances in Austin (as part of the 2012 Chaos in Tejas Fest) and Baltimore (as part of the 2012 Maryland Deathfest).  True fans of heavy music cannot miss this rare chance to see Japan’s true masters of doom!
