After seven long years of silence on this side of the Atlantic, Finnish psychedelic black metal visionaries ORANSSI PAZUZU are finally returning to North America. This spring, the band will embark on their first full regional run since 2018, bringing their hallucinatory, mind-erasing live ritual to clubs and festivals across the continent.
Joining them for the entire journey are Denver’s myth-forging black metal storytellers WAYFARER, making this a truly unmissable pairing of forward-thinking heaviness and atmospheric intensity.
The tour ignites on May 8 at Northwest Terror Fest in Seattle and winds its way through the U.S. and Canada before culminating on May 30 at Prepare The Ground Festival in Toronto. With multiple festival appearances woven into the routing, this marks one of ORANSSI PAZUZU’s most ambitious North American treks to date.
WAYFARER guitarist and vocalist Shane McCarthy adds:
“We look forward to crossing the country again, this time in the company of one of the strongest artists in contemporary heavy music in ORANSSI PAZUZU.”
The run also signals a turning point for WAYFARER, closing the chapter on their American Gothic era while resurrecting rarely played material along the way. Two bands, two distinct visions — one immersive night of heavy music.
