Watain - Lawless States Of Heretika Tour Is Still On
Just last week, we announced the tour dates for the Lawless States Of Heretika Tour featuring Behemoth, Watain, Withered and Black Anvil. But then this weekend, the news came out that Behemoth frontman Nergal was taken to a hospital where he was diagnosed with "a serious illness" requiring a "multi-stage treatment". All upcoming Behemoth dates were immediately cancelled.
In regards to the future of the Lawless States Of Heretika Tour, Watain has now issued the following statement:
"As some of you might have heard, Behemoth have been forced to cancel their USA tour. To put an end to rumors and speculations regarding how this affects Watains touring plans, know this; THERE IS NO ESCAPE, WE ARE COMING. Exact dates and further information will be posted soon."

Watain - New Album Ready
Original news, posted on 26.02.2010
Swedish black metal squad Watain just completed their fourth full-length album, after two intense months at Necromorbus Studio.
Vocalist and mastermind E. comments: "I am now holding in my hand the final master tape of what might be the most dynamic and charged Watain release ever recorded. May the gods unto which it is written be pleased! We are very much looking forward to share this rich feast with our followers, whom we know have been hungering for a very long time. All I can say is that it will be worth the wait. We raise our cups unto all of you whose patience and support have been constant during the three fiery years since the release of Sworn to the Dark, and look forward to set the night aflame with you again soon!"
The unveiling of Watain's fourth monument will take place on June 7th, under ceremonial circumstances yet to be revealed.
Watain will also release a new single entitled Reaping Death. It will be released as a picture 7" EP on Walpurgisnacht. This single will feature the track "Reaping Death", along with a special B side.
UPDATED on 25.03.2010
The title of the fourth Watain album, to be released on June 7th, has been announced. Its name shall be Lawless Darkness.
"The title symbolises the unbound chaotic potential of that which is void of light", frontman E. comments. "The light that defines, the light that shapes and restricts. The light by which the forces of law and order uphold their reign. In the absence of that light lies the wellspring of Watain: in Lawless Darkness.
With this album and in all of our efforts with Watain we aim to capture the hungry madness and glimmering purity of darkness beyond illusion, the void that holds all yet where naught is manifest, the primordial tomb into which all the vanity of man and his creation shall collapse: indeed, The Lawless Darkness. Lawless Darkness shall be seen as a monument erected in honour of that collapse and a dedication to all those brave souls, who have willingly dared to venture the winding paths towards it."
UPDATE
Watain have announced the final details for the upcoming Lawless Darkness, due on June 7th. The digipak version will include the Death SS cover "Chains of Death" as a bonus track. The song can also be heard on the Reaping Death picture 7" single, due April 30th.
Lawless Darkness cover art] tracklist:
01. Death's Cold Dark
02. Malfeitor
03. Reaping Death
