ABSU, GLORIOR BELLI, AVERSE SEFIRA, SOTHIS To Tesm Up For 'CIII' Tour

February 6, 2009

Candlelight Records has announced its third label packaged tour for North America. Set to kick off on June 6, CIII will feature the talents of U.S. black metal legends ABSU, with support coming from France's GLORIOR BELLI, Austin-based AVERSE SEFIRA and Los Angeles-based SOTHIS. The tour will visit 22 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada beginning in San Marcos, California and wrapping up in Dallas, Texas on June 29. Tickets for all shows go on sale exclusively at EnterTheVault.com today. Tickets will go on sale through all local and online ticket agencies starting March 5.

CIII follows the success of Candlelight's previous label tours — the first in 2005 featuring ENTOMBED, CROWBAR, PRO-PAIN and THE MIGHTY NIMBUS, and second in 2007 featuring ENSLAVED, DARK FUNERAL and then-newcomers ABIGAIL WILLIAMS.

The label, maintaining offices in Philadelphia and London, continues to grow since launching American operations in 2001. Candlelight is distributed throughout the U.S. exclusively via Caroline Distribution, EMI Music for Canada and Plastichead Music for the rest of the world.
