Canadian technical death metal pioneers Cryptopsy have officially announced their return to overseas stages. The band is set to embark on the “Malicious & Vile Summer Tour,” bringing their punishing live show to a variety of major open-air festivals and intimate club venues across Europe and the United Kingdom.
During select club dates on the extensive summer run, the veteran extreme metal act will be supported by a devastating, rotating lineup of special guests. Depending on the city, the heavy-hitting support roster will include appearances by Revocation, Bleed From Within, Internal Bleeding, Vulvodynia, and Celestial Sanctuary.
The massive overseas trek officially kicks off on July 25 at the Stonehenge Festival in the Netherlands and will decimate multiple countries before ultimately wrapping up on August 21 at the Death Coffee Party in the Czech Republic.
