Metal fans, prepare for a tour that promises to be nothing short of epic! DARKEST HOUR has announced their participation in Decapitated’s Nihility Across North American tour, kicking off February 4, 2025, in Tampa, Florida. With a lineup featuring death metal icons Decapitated, legends Incantation, and shredders Exmortus, this tour will deliver a seismic metal experience across the U.S. and Canada.
Spanning nearly 30 cities, the Nihility Across North America tour will bring together some of the heaviest hitters in metal. DARKEST HOUR guitarist Mike Schleibaum shared his excitement:
“We are absolutely fired up to be joining Decapitated… They are, in our opinion, one of the best death metal bands out right now. We cannot wait to rock with them every night and party side stage as they crush like we know they do!”
He also expressed admiration for the other bands on the bill:
“Shout out to Incantation who are legends and our old friends in Exmortus who bring the shred. This tour will go to a few cities we rarely hit, so we encourage you all to come out and celebrate life and metal with us!”

DARKEST HOUR is riding high following the release of their critically acclaimed album Perpetual | Terminal via MNRK Heavy. Praised by Kerrang! for its “pure melodic death nirvana” and lauded by Blabbermouth as “greater than expected,” the album showcases the band’s evolution while staying true to their signature blend of death metal ferocity, thrash intensity, and melodic brilliance.
The Washington D.C.-based quintet — John Henry (vocals), Mike Schleibaum (guitars), Nico Santora (guitars), Aaron Deal (bass), and Travis Orbin (drums) — continues to thrive nearly three decades into their career, proving their resilience and relevance in the ever-evolving metal landscape.
With an unbeatable lineup, iconic venues, and the promise of unparalleled energy, this tour is shaping up to be a can’t-miss event for metal enthusiasts. Grab your tickets now, and get ready to trash in the pit this winter.
