The inaugural Decibel Magazine Tour, announced late last week, will feature the long-awaited stateside return of Polish blackened death metal overlords Behemoth, as well as support from Swedish black metal provocateurs Watain, Dutch prog mystics The Devil's Blood and Swedish old-school occultists In Solitude. And now, the dates are in!

The near month-long run, presented by Metal Blade Records, IndieMerchStore.com, FYE, ESP Guitars and Good Fight Entertainment, will commence on April 11 in Columbus, Ohio and level 23 cities before coming to a ceremonial close on May 12 in New York City.

Presale tickets and package deals are on sale NOW through Decibel Magazine. A limited number of premium packages are available in each city and include:

Strong Intention: Maryland Powerviolence Legion Announce Tour Dates

Long running Maryland powerviolence legion, STRONG INTENTION, will embark on a short run of tour dates this February opening for Lock Up and Goatwhore. The trek will commence on February 8 in Buffalo and pummel its way through seven cities before coming to a ceremonial close on February 16 in Brooklyn.

 Commented frontman Zac Ohler: "We as a band are honored to be taking part in Lock Up's first ever North American tour. It will be our second go'round with Goatwhore and the first time in five years that we will be touring with Mr. Tomas Lindberg since the Disfear tour in 2006. We will be bringing a complete bombastic display of thrash/grind/punk/hardcore terrorism with us as a tour like this demands it."
