Swedish black metallers MARDUK have issued the following update:

"The preliminary tour dates for Eastern and Cental Europe have now been confirmed. Still waiting for info regarding some of the venues.

"We are receiving a lot of questions about if/when MARDUK will be touring North America. Well, a tour is being planned.

"Despite all the previous visa problems, it now seems that problem is coming to an end and will be solved within the nearest future.

"MARDUK will for sure be on North American shores before they start to work on their 11th Circle Of Death."
