AGALLOCH: ANNOUNCE SPRING 2012 EUROPEAN TOUR WITH VELNIAS



Portland, Oregon based ambient extreme metal warriors AGALLOCH have announced a spring 2012 European tour with VELNIAS, tour dates on flyer above.

FROM AGALLOCH:
We have returned to the rainy, cold, and fog-drenched Northwest. There are many people to thank for their hospitality during our stay in Israel. To begin with we owe tremendous thanks to Yishai Sweartz who has been a friend of the band even before its formation. Yishai and Anderson were penpals during the pre-Internet days of the underground. Yishai is responsible for bringing us over and making sure we were all comfortable and well fed. We’d like to thank him and his parents for the amazing dinner we all shared. We were so happy to experience an Israeli family dinner. Thanks also to Anit, Tal, and Roi Roco Cohen who showed us around Tel Aviv and generally took care of us. We were also very honored to have the long-running Israeli band Salem pay us a visit and provide us with shirts and cds. Thank you to Yacov Estrin and Sara Mandell for showing us around Jerusalem and sharing their insight on Israeli life and to Maayan for the jewelry she made for us. Thanks to David at Metalshop for having us as well as everyone at the Metal Bar for a night of drinking and revelry. Further thanks are in order to our sound man Wolf Caspi and stage manager Roy Sherman who all made sure we had excellent backline and sound as well as everyone at the Reading 3 club. And most of all a very special thanks to our Israeli fans who made this entire trip more than worth it. We hope to visit again in the future!
Stay tuned for complete European Tour dates to be announced!

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
