OPETH , ENSLAVED ANNOUNCE SPRING 2009 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

ENSLAVED have signed with a new North American booking agency, and OPETH are coming back for a another round of U.S. dates in support of their latest release WATERSHED. This should be a good tour hitting up smaller markets OPETH have yet to play, so do catch it as the spring 2009 touring/fest season heats up.
FROM ENSLAVED MYSPACE: Enslaved will support Opeth on their upcoming North American tour. The 23 shows will take place between May 1st and May 27th; the line-up consists of Enslaved opening for Opeth.

Ivar Bjørnson, Enslaved's songwriter and guitarist comments: "I am stoked that we are going out with Opeth. We have been admirers of Opeth's work for years, specially the direction of their newer works. This is great news for us to take back to our loyal fans and friends in North America at this point; the reception for our newest album "Vertebrae" has been fantastic and unforgettable. We can't wait to present the songs live, we promise you won't be let down! Finally we wish to express our sincere gratitude to Opeth for giving us this opportunity."
