Carnival Of Death Tour 2025 will start on October 1st. Together with friends from KATAKLYSM, MALEVOLENT CREATION and SKELETAL REMAINS we will visit 23 cities in USA and Canada raising Hell all around. m/ How cool is that?” By the way, VADER’s been around since 1983 and has released a whopping 12 studio albums, with their latest being “Solitude in Madness” in 2020.
KATAKLYSM is equally hyped, declaring: “North America! This fall, we’re bringing you the heaviest metal tour of the year – no gimmicks, just pure, crushing brutality the good ol’ fashion way.
