Promoters for the 2011 RITES OF DARKNESS FEST, set to take place December 9th to 11th 2011 San Antonio, Texas, USA have proudly announced the confirmation of German funeral doom warriors WORSHIP as this appearance will be WORSHIP's very first on U..S. soil..

FROM RITES OF DARKNESS PROMOTERS:
WORSHIP (GER) and GENERAL SURGERY (SWE) confirmed for R.O.D. This will be WORSHIP first ever U.S. show and General Surgery first TX show. A few more replacements to be announced this week along with the updated set times.

Rites of Darkness Festival III
December 9th to 11th 2011
San Antonio, Texas, USA

I played somewhat around 150 gigs in my life, but I never played in the US. This is a MAJOR achievement and adventure for us, believe me…

We are replacing a band that has canceled, so we are not on the flyer below. And I heard we have received not too shabby a slot, rather late in the festival… Make sure you don’t leave early!

We will be present for a few days, though, and we will also explore Texas a bit. Hope to meet a lot of you guys, make some friends, and hang out with the US worshippers… You have the serious mission to entertain us and show us around, so be prepared!
Worship will play at Heavy Days In Doom Town, 3rd to 6th of May 2012 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Another first time in a new country, and the festival sounds very well prepared! I hope to meet many of you there…

Totally excited to be on the road and on stage again (after a dry spell of over 2 years, and it’s 3 for Worship already)! So, everything I lack in album progress I make up in live surprises, because there is a 2nd gig about to be confirmed, a 3rd undecided. Stay tuned, and keep those concert requests coming!
