VLTIMAS have so much history under their bullet belts that some gatekeepers may have wondered if there were any new realms for them to conquer. After all, David Vincent, Rune Eriksen and Flo Mounier are all legends in their own right. But their new album takes these unholy deities of extreme metal to truly EPIC heights.
“VLTIMAS could hardly fail, given the pedigree of everyone involved”, Blabbermouth wrote in their review of the band’s new album, “but this suggests that Vincent, Eriksen and Mounier are not leaving anything to chance. EPIC live up to its name and then some”.
Earlier this year, VLTIMAS coronated EPIC by touring Europe with Batushka and God Dethroned. They also seized the stage at major European summer festivals like Graspop and Brutal Assault.
Now, VLTIMAS are joining forces with fellow legends Septicflesh and Ex Deo for a scorching run on their very first tour of North America next year.
“Finally the wait is over!” says David Vincent. “We are teaming up with our metal brothers SepticFlesh and Ex Deo for our first-ever North American Tour in February 2025 and we look forward to sharing our strength and misery with our friends and fans. This indeed will be EPIC!”
