I just want to point out that I’ve seen Liturgy, and I really like Liturgy. In the spirit of my obsession with literary references in metal and liking of Liturgy, I present to you the press release for my favorite metal band in Brooklyn.

NYC’s transcendental black metal artists LITURGY kick off their month and a half long U.S. tour today in Pittsburgh. The band will play this weekend’s Scion Rock Fest alongside Pelican, Shrinebuilder and more, then blast their way south towards this year’s SXSW in Austin where they’re confirmed to play four full showcases throughout the week’s festivities. The band will also hit Bro Fest in Dallas alongside Rwake, White Mice and more, as well as MtyMx festival in Monterrey, Mexico alongside Dan Deacon, Andrew W.K., Acid Mother’s Temple and countless others.
