French metallers Benighted has announced plans to join forces with NJ tech-death crew Cognitive for a string of Canadian tour dates in September.
“Canada!! Finally, after 9 years, we’ll be back“, says Benighted vocalist Julien Truchan. “We can’t control our excitement to arrive and show you our new album, Ekbom, live on stage! We’ll have the pleasure to do this Canadian Infestation tour along with our brothers in Cognitive. Let’s make this tour unforgettable together!”
Regarding Benighted’s new album, “Ekbom,” it’s scheduled to be released on April 12th through Season of Mist (pre-order/pre-save).
“On their upcoming new album, Benighted crawl through a house of horrors,” says a press release. “Ekbom doesn’t tread so much as it tramples the line between sanity and madness. After all, the title takes its name from a real-life syndrome that makes people believe their skin is infested with bugs.”
Earlier this week, Benighted released the album’s third single, “Metastasis”, which you can check out below along with all upcoming tour dates.
