A formidable, double-pronged tour de force is heading for the UK this November as VILE CREATURE and BISMUTH pair up for a string of dates

A formidable, double-pronged tour de force is heading for the UK this November as VILE CREATURE and BISMUTH pair up for a string of dates. The run will kick off in Nottingham on November 23 and finish up in Brighton on December 3.

Canada-based VILE CREATURE released their critically acclaimed second full length, Cast of Static and Smoke, earlier this year – and have been touring in the USA and Canada ever since. Full to the brim with compassion, and dripping in socio-political commentary, the duo heave out a mighty thick dose of sludge and doom on every track.

VILE CREATURE are crossing the pond to join up with BISMUTH who will release their second studio album, The Slow Dying of the Great Barrier Reef in November to coincide with the tour. More information on the BISMUTH album will be available in due course but rest assured they’ll be delivering yet another slab of slow and great deal of heavy, as is par for the course.

VILE CREATURE’S KW comments:
“This will be our first time in the UK as a band; we’re really excited to leave our comfort zone and get to meet a whole swath of new people with different experiences. We’ve already met such a wide variety of people who come together for heavy music and expanding that into England, Scotland and Wales is really exciting.

“You can expect bad jokes before really heavy music, and hopefully a rad sense of community and care from everyone in attendance.”

BISMUTH’s Tanya Byrne adds:
“We are incredibly excited to be touring with VILE CREATURE. I’ve wanted to see them live for a while, and sharing a tour with them seemed like the best idea to see them not once but multiple times!”
