MOONSPELL, SAMAEL AND BOOK OF BLACK EARTH TO HIT AMERICA ON METALSUCKS-SPONSORED FALL TOUR!
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 at 10:59am by Vince Neilstein
Just because all the big bands are partying over at the European festivals at the moment doesn’t mean we aren’t already looking forward to the Fall,* when Moonspell, Samael and Book of Black Earth hit North America for a MetalSucks-sponsored run of dates this October and November. The “Night Eternal Above America” tour is an early candidate for one of the most exciting lineups of the Fall, and also features Germany’s Secrets of the Moon. Moonspell and Samael are pretty much legends at this point yet I’ve not seen either band live; I saw the final minute of Book of Black Earth’s set at this Spring’s New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and instantly wished I’d caught the whole thing. We’ll have exclusive news, giveaways and more for the Night Eternal Above America tour as the dates draw closer.

*OK, fine, I’m still waiting for Summer… It’s June 15th and I’m still wearing a hoodie every day. What the fuck???
Thank you so fucking much. I have been a Samael fan since Ceremony of Opposites and have missed every show they’ve ever played here. I shall be at BB King’s in October.
I am sending a busload of swine flu ridden children to the next band who decides only to play Peabody’s in Ohio. Why have bands stopped coming to Columbus and Cincinnati??? The shows are always packed at Newport and Bogarts…Peabody’s is a cool joint but it is so fucking far up there…
I’m still going though.
This, but only because Peabody’s is a big shithole of a club.
SOTM finally make it to North America, but they’re buried under a list of bands I don’t care for. Such a shame…
“buried” under Moonspell and Samael??? They should be fucking honored! And likely are…
I agree…. Secrets of the Moon is the reason to go for me as well. I do like old Samael though, so I hope they play some classics.
I thought Samael’s last two albums were pretty bad, but the most recent one, Above, is a return to the Ceremony/Passage style. This whole show will be great.
Saw BOBE with Withered and Hull earlier this year in brooklyn,
fucking destroyed
so much energy, really really good show
impale yourself if you miss them this time round
Hahah, Book of Black Earth – isn’t that with the guy who does Actual Pain clothing?
How long before this tour collapses like all the others?
Book Of Black Earth is amazing–living in Seattle, I’ve had a chance to watch them mature as a band, and I think it’s about time they got to tour with the likes of Moonspell and Samael.
And yes, TJ Cowgill runs Actual Pain when he’s not playing guitar for BOBE.
Does New England no longer exist in your eyes?
Can’t wait….plz bring on the giveaways!
Portuguese metal rules!
Moonspell wooow
