The band will be joined by Misery Index from August 14 – 19 and then Abigail Williams from August 20 – 23.
Comments SI founding frontman Zac Ohler: “Looking forward to ending the Summer on the road with the grind machine that is Misery Index and then mixing it up with some dates on the Abigail Williams farewell tour. Make no mistake, this is not a fucking game… remember kids, always leave violence up the experts!”
