Watain alone is worth it, but Withered is fantastic too. Haven't heard Book of Black Earth.

It's good to see more black metal tours. Horna is doing a US tour, too \m/

For some reason I can't get into Watain

I dislike BoBE so much. they're from here. Hipster black metal. The guys in the band are nice, and some of the dudes from my band Skelator live with the ex-bassist, Jeffrey Emmet Hayes III, bu their music is just not right for this tour.

What do you mean by hipster black metal? You mean like Wolves in the Throne Room, Nachtmystium, and Alcest? They've all received a lot of praise on Pitchfork and other hipster sites and hipsters think it's "cool" and "edgy" to like them. If they're like any of those bands musically (except for the new Nachtmystium, that thing blows) I'll be pleased.

Cool to see our local heroes in Withered getting some more national face-time.

I can't say they sound the same, no. But same attitude (both of the hipsters and the band members thinking they're hot shit because they're in a fake black metal band).

I will be going to the Atlanta date, since it is on my birthday.

I cannot recall the last time I saw an active tour and said wow I need to go to this. When does the crap stop touring?

Just cause Nevermore and Rhapsody don't tour together doesn't mean every other tour is crap
