Vale Announces North American Tour Dates

As they prepare for the release of their debut album, Burden of Sight on May 26th (The Flenser) Oakland's Vale have announced an extensive North American tour in support of it. Spanning throughout June and July, Vale will travel coast-to-coast (and into Canada) on the Burden of Sight inaugural run. Check out tour dates listed below.

On their new album, Vale channel visions of a grim future in which the world is barren and destroyed, where agents of opportunity consume everything they can get their hands on. It can be seen as an expression of outrage felt at the pervasive exploitation and avarice that has taken root in the band's own backyard. From rampant homelessness to the overindulgences of the upper class, it's all too easy to imagine the harsh reality of decomposing landscapes fraught with cannibalism and religious zealotry that Vale depicts across six tracks of roaring, death-infused black metal.

See Vale on the road this summer and stay tuned for more updates:
