American extreme metal acts ABHORIA and VELNIAS are joining forces this October for a ten-date tour across the American Southwest, bringing together two distinctly different approaches to darkness.

While ABHORIA channel a bleak, dystopian vision through black metal, Colorado’s VELNIAS explore a more elemental blend of folk and doom. The upcoming shows will also give ABHORIA the opportunity to debut material from their forthcoming album alongside older tracks.

“We’re so excited to hit the road with our friends in Velnias,” says ABHORIA’s Trevor Potz. “These will be the first shows in the Southwest, and we’re looking forward to debuting songs from our forthcoming album alongside older material.”

The tour begins in Denver on October 15 before travelling through Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, concluding in Los Angeles on October 24.
