MORTIIS And UADA Teaming Up For The Witches of Dystopia Tour MMXXVI

12-14-2025

(SPKR) MORTIIS announces the massive North American "The Witches of Dystopia Tour MMXXVI" that will present the iconic Norwegian artist co-headlining with fast-rising US black metal act UADA.

The tour will feature exclusive anniversary sets and supporting performances by Jerome Reuter's ROME and WRAITH KNIGHT. MORTIIS will perform songs from his groundbreaking 2001 full-length, "The Smell of Rain", along with other volumes of dystopian despair. In addition, UADA will be performing their seminal debut album "Devoid of Light" (2016) in its entirety and ending their performance with a 30-year anniversary set of their previous works from Ceremonial Castings featuring Wraith Knight.

MORTIIS comments: "While creating and uncreating, sometimes composing, and occasionally violently invoking the music and sounds that are set to be my new album, it is growing increasingly apparent to me, that I am occasionally calling upon some old ghosts of the past", the Norwegian states. "I can hear - sometimes clearly, at other times faintly - musical echoes from the 'Smell of Rain' days, not to mention new sounds of the blurry, faint, but unmistakably strange, future, that is yet to unfold. It seems natural to me, to now unearth several of the songs from 'The Smell of Rain' and other music, of similar dispirit, as a first step into the bleak dystopian dreamscapes that Mortiis appears to be heading into from here on out. So here I am, clawing through a quarter century old recordings, preparing for 2026."
