PROFANATICA to embark on first-ever European tour next month
Legendary USBM instigators/iconoclasts Profanatica are about to embark upon their “Curling Flame Over Europe” tour. Presented by Killtown Bookings, the tour coincides with the Netherlands Death Fest, alongside such names as Emperor, At the Gates, Carcass, and Sadistic Intent among many others.
This will be not only the first-ever European tour for Profanatica, but the band’s first-ever full-scale tour. It will start in the north of Europe on the 1st of March and make its way down to NDF before continuing through central and eastern Europe, taking over Greece, and finally ending up desecrating Spain and Portugal. Joining Profanatica will be the elite Canadian hordes Rites of Thy Degringolade and Auroch.
A statement from Profanatica founder Paul Ledney simply reads:
“Profanatica chose European soil for its first-ever tour. Our plan is to destroy all that is holy. ‘Here is wisdom…'”
