The tour will serve as support to both bands releasing new records this summer on Profound Lore. Dark Castle recently released their highly anticipated 'Surrender to All Life Beyond Form' on May 31st.

The follow-up to their debut album, 'Spirited Migration', features guest appearances by Blake Judd of Nachtmystium, Sanford Parker (Minsk, Nachtmystium, Twilight), Nate Hall of US Christmas and their tour mate on this upcoming trek Mike Scheidt of YOB.
