According to Blabbermouth.net, swiss metallers Samael have commented on their upcoming North American tour with Amorphis, Leaves' Eyes and Virgin Black — the group's first U.S. trek in nearly five years.
Samael oo-founder Xy stated: "We haven’t played in the U.S. since our last tour for 'Eternal' back in 2003. It has been far too long and the wait is over! We are happy to announce we'll be back in September to present material from not one but two albums, namely 'Reign Of Light' and 'Solar Soul', as well as songs off our other records. We're excited about this tour and are looking forward to connecting with our American audience once again!"
