Occult rock legends Coven have announced a co-headlining tour with a much newer band who clearly takes influence from Coven, Lucifer. It’s called The Satanic Panic Tour, and LA doomsters Early Moods will open. Along with the announcement comes the news that Lucifer’s upcoming album Lucifer V is almost done. Stay tuned for more on that.
The tour hits NYC on November 26 at Le Poisson Rouge. Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday (9/1) at 10 AM local time. All dates are listed below.
Lucifer singer Johanna Platow Andersson says:
As I write this, we are literally still in the studio recording the last few hearse screeching guitar solos, funeral whispers and organs of our new album ‘LUCIFER V’. I am excited to report that most of the songs have already been sent off to mixing at Robert Pehrsson’s Studio Humbucker (Death Breath, Tribulation, Dead Lord etc.) and I cannot wait to let this record loose.
In addition we are extremely thrilled to announce that we are finally coming back to North America and we are in phenomenal company! Together with COVEN and our special guests EARLY MOODS we are kicking off a month of SATANIC PANIC in early November and are hoping to see many of our Fallen Angels while we make our way across the USA and Canada.
Coven were initially around between 1967 and 1975, during which time they released three albums, including one of the most influential occult rock/proto-metal albums of all time, their 1969 debut Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls. They reunited in the late 2000s and released a new album, Jinx, in 2013. Singer Jinx Dawson brought the band with a new lineup for their first US shows in 27 years in 2017/2018. This will be their first lengthy North American tour since then.
