Two of the genres finest have announced a massive North American tour as Profound Lore labelmates YOB and Dark Castle team up on what is sure to be one of the most anticipated bills of the summer. Dates for the trek begin on July 1st in Seattle, WA and will run August 7th when the summer skies of California will darken and two of the most lauded doom metal bands take over the Arcata to close out the tour.

The tour will serve as support to both bands releasing new records this summer on Profound Lore. DARK CASTLE will release their highly anticipated 'Surrender to All Life Beyond Form' on May 31st. The follow-up to their debut album, 'Spirited Migration', features guest appearances by Blake Judd of NACHTMYSTIUM, Sanford Parker (MINSK, NACHTMYSTIUM, TWILIGHT), Nate Hall of US CHRISTMAS and their tour mate on this upcoming trek Mike Scheidt of YOB.
