ABSU, GLORIOR BELLI, AVERSE SEFIRA, SOTHIS To Team Up For 'CIII' Tour

Candlelight Records has announced its third label packaged tour for North America. Set to kick off on June 6, CIII will feature the talents of U.S. black metal legends ABSU, with support coming from France's GLORIOR BELLI, Austin-based AVERSE SEFIRA and Los Angeles-based SOTHIS. The tour will visit 22 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada beginning in San Marcos, California and wrapping up in Dallas, Texas on June 29. Tickets for all shows go on sale exclusively at EnterTheVault.com today. Tickets will go on sale through all local and online ticket agencies starting March 5.

CIII follows the success of Candlelight's previous label tours â€” the first in 2005 featuring ENTOMBED, CROWBAR, PRO-PAIN and THE MIGHTY NIMBUS, and second in 2007 featuring ENSLAVED, DARK FUNERAL and then-newcomers ABIGAIL WILLIAMS.

The label, maintaining offices in Philadelphia and London, continues to grow since launching American operations in 2001. Candlelight is distributed throughout the U.S. exclusively via Caroline Distribution, EMI Music for Canada and Plastichead Music for the rest of the world.

So I guess they aren't touring with Destroyer 666 after all?

So I just found out that Rumpelstiltskin Grinder is on this tour. Fuck yea I am going to this show tonight.

Yeah, the show was awesome. The bands got there late due to shitty weather, so Velnias, the opener was supposed to play a shortened set. Well, they were the post black/doom hybrid kind of band, so their songs were all very long. They had roughly 8-10 minutes to play, so they played two songs over 25 minutes. Withering Soul was alright, and Sothis, Rumpelstiltskin Grinder, and Absu all fucking slayed.

I cant make the show so therefor it will suck I pity all you who will go... (secretly jealous)

Posted: **Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:36 pm**

I might be willing to see Absu again

Their new album rules big time.

Posted: **Thu Jun 18, 2009 11:52 pm**

I agree with this. They also put on a great live show at the MD Deathfest. Although I was drunk at the time so it didn't take much to impress me.

Stop being a pussy and go to the show. Do it for me since I cant make it

no can do. i work early shift, have to get up at 5:30 am for work. I'm a supervisor too so I just can't walk in half dead. Besides, no one I know likes these bands (or even heard of them) so I'd be going by myself anyway

Nothing wrong with going to shows by yourself

Posted: **Sat Jun 20, 2009 11:54 am**

I never understood why people get so worked up about going to shows by themselves. I do that shit all the time. what's the big deal?

I never want to go to shows by myself but if it is fucking bands that I wanted to see I am going.

Going to shows by yourself is fun, but I prefer going to shows with a buddy or 2.

Well I had class tonight and I'm broke so I couldn't make it. I just discovered Glorior Belli, too, so I'm a bit disappointed!
