Notorious Swedish black metal collective WATAIN and Norwegian genre icon ABBATH are proud to announce that they will team up for a co-headline tour entitled "CHARIOTS OF FIRE EUROPEAN TOUR 2022" in late Summer / early Autumn. With the addition of Swedish dark metal shooting stars TRIBULATION and unconventional Swiss blackened death metal duo BÖLZER, this is the tour European extreme metal fans truely deserve after a seemingly endless period of drought.

Danielsson of WATAIN comments:
"We can finally announce our first European Tour for 'The Agony & Ecstasy of Watain': The CHARIOTS OF FIRE tour, in the fall of 2022. The name of the tour is taken from the first lyric line of the first song of the new album, but it’s also an ode to the song by Bathory, a band whom we share a great passion for with our tour companion, the one and only ABBATH. Joining us are also the unique powerhouses Tribulation and Bölzer."

WATAIN have just recently released a new single called "The Howling" - which is taken from their upcoming new studio album, "The Agony & Ecstasy Of Watain," due out on April 29th, 2022.
