Even though the legendary Norwegian black metal band Mayhem has canceled its scheduled U.S. tour in April, at least one of the openers still wants to hit the road that month, according to the metal blog Invisible Oranges.
San Francisco's Ludicra, who play a particularly arty but altogether bad-ass brand of black metal, still plan to tour now that Mayhem has pulled out. And rumor has it that one of their stops will be in Knoxville. More details to come. (Read an interview here with the band's drummer, Aesop Dekker, about the new album, The Tenant, due out in March on Profound Lore.)
Ludicra were set to open the Mayhem tour with New York bands Tombs and Krallice. Tombs played at Planet Caravan in Asheville last fall, and Krallice opened for Wolves in the Throne Room at the Hideaway in Johnson City last spring. No word on whether either band will be coming back this time.
