West Coast ethereal doom trio IDES OF GEMINI are pleased and honored to announce a full tour this Spring supporting cult metalists, Ghost. Dubbed the Haze Over North America 2013 tour, the three-week run will commence on April 18th in Denver, Colorado, with additional IDES headlining dates to be announced in the coming weeks. The jaunt follows the band’s successful month-long trek through Europe last Fall and an opening slot with legendary sound revolutionaries Neurosis in January.

Notes guitarist/backing vocalist J. Bennett of the upcoming journey: "Ghost’s Opus Eponymous is the ultimate liturgical canon for our fair young century — catchy as hell, too — and we couldn't be more thrilled to traverse the continent with them. Keeping secrets is one of our favorite pastimes, so touring with an anonymous band is especially satisfying for us. Plus, we get along famously with Satanists. In other words: Aces all around."

IDES OF GEMINI will be touring in support of their transcendental doom masterwork, Constantinople. Released stateside via Neurot Recordings last Spring, Constantinople was fittingly commended by Outburn for its "depressing dynamics topped by ethereal wonderment," and called, "…a dirg-y doom crawl of an album…," by Decibel. Pitchfork crowned it, "darkly beautiful," while MetalSucks applauded the offering noting, "Their accretion of small musical gestures inverts metal’s normal use of space. They imply terror without ever exposing it. Each song is an accumulation of outlines, a sort of sonic daguerreotype." Spin agreed stating, "Processional doom, ethereal female harmonies and high-strung riffs incite head-bowing, not –banging," while About.com noted: "…a proverbial treasure chest in terms of atmosphere, ideas and contrasting musical textures…original and breathtaking."

I was all set to go to this until I realized this is the same night at Steven Wilson in Minneapolis.

I already saw Ghost on their first headlining tour and have their setlist framed, I will be ok not seeing them on this tour, and seeing one of my biggest musical influences, his first time in Minnesota since 2005.

So did Ghost go through a slight name change recently? I noticed on the tour poster that it seems to say "Ghost B.C.". Weird.

That's why I'm hoping for a Tegan and Sara/Ghost show at the Glass House.

indeed

In the year of 13, the second phase of GHOST B.C. begins with the release of the sophomore psalm INFESTISSUMAM on April 9, 2013 on Loma Vista Recordings. Papa Emeritus II succeeded Papa Emeritus at the conclusion of phase one in the year of 12, and the Nameless Ghouls joined him under the unholy church's current moniker Ghost B.C. - (Modified from Ghost in the US for legal reasons). Make no mistake though. The rituals still demand the same reverence and praise, fortified through a delivery of sweetly satanic melodies, snaking distorted riffs, and vaudevillian keyboards.

Too sweet for sure!

Definitely going to see them in Pittsburgh. Fuck it. I need this band in a small, dark venue.
