They say: "Get ready this January for a Viking invasion! We'll be making an extensive UK expedition where we'll be pillaging smaller clubs in virtually every nook and cranny of the country. Don't miss this awesome night of metal and we will take no prisoners!"

Frontman Johan Hegg stars in period movie Northmen - A Viking Saga, which launches this week. Tour tickets are available now via Ticketmaster. London thrashers Savage Messiah are the opening act for all dates.
