Ecstatic black metallers Agriculture released one of our favorite metal albums of 2023 with their self-titled debut LP on The Flenser, and now the LA band have announced their first-ever East Coast tour, happening right before they play Roadburn. They’ve also got a couple West Coast shows before they head over here, followed by stops in Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Brooklyn, and Philly. Tickets go on sale Friday (1/26).
The Brooklyn stop is at Saint Vitus on April 13. All dates are listed below.
In our review of Agriculture’s debut LP, we said:
The same year that brought us what might be the best Liturgy album to date and Deafheaven’s Sunbather 10th anniversary tour also brought us the debut album by Agriculture, who feel like the rightful heirs to those bands’ early 2010s thrones. They call themselves “ecstatic black metal” (a phrase Liturgy also used early on), and like both of those bands did, they take the piss out of black metal purism. Agriculture make black metal that feels both ferocious and bright, with elements of country and sadcore that sincerely add to the experience. They’re making heavy music on their own terms, and there’s something so hypnotic about them that we just keep coming back to.
