Extreme metal visual kei band DEVILOOF have announced their first-ever Europe tour. Titled THE UNHOLY, the run includes 8 headline dates and one festival appearance.
DEVILOOF open the tour with a slot at Spain’s Resurrection Fest on June 26th, beginning their headline shows in November. Starting November 25th in Finland, they will then head to Poland, England, France, and the Netherlands, ending in Germany with 3 shows across the country.
The long-awaited announcement follows a wave of recent European tours by visual kei acts. DEVILOOF’s distinct brand of metal combines deathcore, death metal, and Japanese aesthetics, solidifying them as the forerunners of extreme Japanese music, and a live act you don’t want to miss.
Frontman Keisuke shared a message on social media to fans in Europe:
“To all our friends in Europe—
thank you so, so much for your patience.
It was honestly heartbreaking to have to cancel in the past due to various circumstances.
We’ve never stopped regretting it.
We’re truly sorry that the location is different from where we previously planned to perform—whether it’s a different city or country—
but finally, the time has come to see you all!
Right now, I’m busy building a raft—using Daiki’s bass, Ray’s guitar, and Kanta’s drumsticks as tools.
We’re almost ready to set sail, so hang tight just a little longer okay?
Can’t wait to finally see all of you in person.”
The band’s latest release ‘INSHU’, was described as their most brutal, and technically complex work to date. DEVILOOF are pushing the limits of extreme.
