BENIGHTED have announced a European tour!

Set to run from October this year to January 2021, the tour will see the French death metal band touring across mainland Europe in support of their latest album, Obscene Repressed, which was released last month. The newly announced tour dates come as the band, like many others, were forced to cancel their previously announced tour dates, including the Hellfest Warm-up Tour, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking about the new tour dates, vocalist Julien Truchan says, “after the huge frustration about cancellation of our Hellfest Warm Up Tour and all these great summer festivals being cancelled, we are now happy to announce the new Obscene Repressed Tour. If this fucking COVID allows it, we will soon have the occasion to party together twice as hard and show you how the tracks of our new album sounds live. We are so impatient to spill our guts on stage and see you all. France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Norway… Stay fucking sick with brutal live music!”
