The U.S. run will feature support from grindcore legends Napalm Death and an opening performance from metallic goths, Unto Others.
The 2022 touring itinerary continues to stack with an impressive assembly of mainstage artists and massive co-headlining pairings. The latest to hit the wire is teams two of extreme music’s most enduring, compelling contributors with Arch Enemy and Behemoth linking for the 2022 North American Siege Tour. \
In addition to the tour’s marquee headliners, the bill is rounded out with the added muscle of grindcore legends Napalm Death and the skyrocketing goth metal revivalists of PDX’s Unto Others – the band’s 2021 full length ‘Strength’ became a fixture on many year-ending ‘Best of’ lists.
Arch Enemy dirving force Michael Amott said of the tour, “I honestly couldn’t be more excited about having Arch Enemy join forces with Behemoth, Napalm Death and Unto Others for a run of dates through North America in 2022! A killer package of quality mayhem right there – can’t [fucking] wait!”
Behemoth mastermind Nergal also weighed in on the North American run. “To say that we are dying to return on the road would be an understatement! In fact, we’ve never been more hungry to reunite with our legions…not only to bring you one of the hottest EXTREME METAL touring line-ups in a long time, but also to bring you NEW Behemoth music! Rejoice!!!”
