Last week, we were only too happy to learn that one of our most favoritest doom bands on the planet, Batillus, have a new split 7″ with Mutilation Rites coming out July 12; now the two bands have announced a tour together, which will kick off just days before said split’s release.

And I implore you to go to a show if they’re coming to your area. Honestly, I can’t speak to the quality of Mutilation Rites live, because I’ve never seen them before; but Batillus MUST be experienced in a concert setting. They are just so… fucking… crushing. And if they’re doing all this stuff with Mutilation Rites, I’d be willing to wager that that band is pretty frickin’ cool, too.
