WATAIN IS NOT FUCKING AROUND


It was quite a hilarious week a few summers ago when I got into two hilarious bands with wicked names: Watain and Akercocke. In the same week. I remember cuz The Mars Volta's second album had just come out. Or maybe Bjork's album Volta. Or a Voltron DVD box set. At any rate, big HooM! horns to Watain for issuing the best 100% sincere (believe it, Axl) and not at all cheeky press release for the band's forthcoming ahem Fuck The World Tour. Does that mean their album is called Fuck The? Via MetalSucks:

Hark in woe, infidels! One and a half year after their triumphant display of magic and death upon North American, Watain shall now return to those lands on a headliner tour. Due to the strict prohibitions of anything Satanic and Criminal passing over the border to USA, a lot of compromises had to be made on the last US tour regarding both members and stage-show. This time however, the full artillery shall be brought across the sea, in all it’s terrible glory.

The first date is on October 3rd and after that the wolves shall storm from Canada through USA on what shall constitute the last part of the monstrous crusade that has been the ‘Fuck the World Tour.’

'Triumphant display of magic and death upon North America'? That is some Borat shit right there, dude. Other howlers:
  • in all it's terrible glory and all its terrible punctuation
  • The tour opens October 3rd, but it's not until ahem after that that the wolves get the call to storm from Canada through USA.
  • Wait, I'm a fucking infidel? Hey, not for nothing, Watain, if that is all of your real names: Don't ever ev er call me an infidel. Oh sorry I thought you meant imbecile. Infidel's cool. Hey I love Dirty Rotten Infidels.
