Two of the best Death Metal bands around at the moment, Xaon and Vortex have announced their Canadian leg of their much anticipated ‘Sympathy for the Dead’ tour that will be heading out on the road this coming April.

Quebec’s Vortex announces they are pairing up with France’s XAON for an eastern Canadian tour this coming April followed by European dates in October and November.Entitled “Symphony For The Dead Tour”, the Canadian edition of shows will kick off in Montreal, QC on April 15th and see both bands perform 10 dates across Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick with support on select shows from Omnivide, Strigampire, Ulfhednar, and Burning Attic (dates listed below).The tour will also be in support of VORTEX’s next release for 2025, a new 5-song EP to follow their third studio album “The Future Remains In Oblivion” released in 2023. That info will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Both bands are firm favorites here at the Black Metal Archives and even though we’ll have to wait until October to see them on European shores, we highly recommend that any Canadian Death Metal afficionados who can get to these shows do so, as they are going to be off the chain.
