(PR) Having recently completed a 60-show North American tour that saw them become the first-ever Asian extreme metal band to play Ozzfest, the Taiwanese six-piece ChthoniC has confirmed a third leg of its fall European tour. In between tours of England with Canada's 3 Inches of Blood and Western Europe with Finland's Ensiferum, the group will join black metal legends Marduk for a week-long tour of Finland and the Baltic States.
"When we started ChthoniC," says vocalist Freddy Lim, "we practiced by playing songs by Cradle of Filth and Marduk, so it's pretty unbelievable that we just finished playing a few shows with Cradle in the U.S. and will soon get to support Marduk!"
