AGRIMONIA: Gothenburg Post-Crust Quintet Announces Fall U.S. Tour

Touring in support of their intense third LP, Rites Of Separation -- their first for Southern Lord Recordings, who dropped the album in April of this year -- Sweden's AGRIMONIA has confirmed their return to the US this Fall.

The pending tour will see Gothenburg-rooted AGRIMONIA on a three-week venture, launching on November 12th in Los Angeles and winding clockwise through the entire country until the final riff devastates Phoenix on December 4th, bringing their morose blend of crust and gloomy metal to the American hordes. Support for the entire trek will be provided by Arizona's black/death rockers TOAD, along the way the duo also crossing paths with Ancestors, Embers, Eight Bells, Tragedy, SubRosa, Wayfarer, Enabler, Sannhet and a rash of others.

AGRIMONIA: Details Of Southern Lord Debut Emerge Album

The name of Gothenburg-based quintet AGRIMONIA will reverberate through the masses throughout the coming months as their third LP, and first for Southern Lord, is subject to be released onto the masses at the end of April.

AGRIMONIA has lead a fruitful existence since their 2005 foundation, a steady diet of live appearances and European tours being an immediate part of the band’s ethos from day one, the ranks of the band featuring members of other notable Swedish infiltrators including Martyrdöd, Skitsystem, At the Gates and others. Their initial recording -- a massive nearly hour-long undertaking -- spread through the post-rock and crust legions, eventually seeing official release on European label Skuld Releases. Following their follow-up LP -- the 2010-released Host Of The Winged, released again via Skuld alongside a CD release on US crust/punk mainstays Profane Existence -- the band traversed on American and Mexican soil for the first time with a brief but rampant West Coast North American tour.

Having signed with Southern Lord mid-2012, AGRIMONIA bunkered into the studio over the turn of the year to record their label debut Rites Of Separation, the final product then mixed by mastermind Fredrik Nordstrom at infamous Studio Fredman (At The Gates, Opeth, Arch Enemy). With just seconds short of a full hour of material harnessed, the completed recordings boast the most mammoth and varied sounds in the band’s already diversified and expansive sound, their bustling slow-motion post-rock builds displayed with the most epic refinement. The band’s unconcealed crustpunk ethos and scathing elements shine through the pristine devastation, with elements of Summoning, Damad, Pelican, Opeth, Crisis, Bolt Thrower, Nausea and countless more shining within AGRIMONIA’s crushing, poignant and unique new LP.

Experience the opening track to Rites Of Separation, the nearly eleven-minute gargantuan “Talion,” via Pitchfork now AT THIS LOCATION.

Rites Of Separation will see a North American release on April 30th via Southern Lord. Expect continuous album and tour updates on this label priority throughout 2013.

Rites Of Separation Track Listing:

1. Talion
