Fresh off a European tour, New Brunswick doom duo ZAUM are returning to their home and native land for a 15 stop tour during the month of August.

Zaum will kick off their tour on Aug. 4 in Ottawa and head as far west as Victoria, BC before returning to Ontario to wrap up the tour at The Asylum in Sudbury on Aug. 22.

The duo will be joined on the tour by Pembroke, Ontario's own crusty metal punk two-piece Flying Fortress.

“It has been a couple of years since we’ve toured within our home country as we’ve primarily focused our efforts overseas since our formation in 2014.  Needless to say, we’re super stoked for this summer adventure across this giant beauty of a country in support of our newest record Eidolon," said a news release from ZAUM.

"We were actually just fresh back from our showcase at Roadburn 2017 (with the likes of Baroness and Chelsea Wolfe) and thought, there’s really no better Canadian band and dudes to do a Canadian tour with than our old buds in Flying Fortress – and luckily the stars have aligned in our favour.”

ZAUM’s second and latest full length musical chapter “Eidolon” was released Oct. 24, 2016 via I HATE Records with distribution via Plastic Head/Sony Music throughout Europe and Century Media in North America to follow their 2014 debut album "Oracles". 

In their three years as an active touring band ZAUM have amassed 200+ shows (mainly international) under their belts including support stints for Voivod, Pentagram, and Cauldron.
