A few weeks ago, Closure In Moscow announced that they would be playing their cult-classic Equal Vision Records debut, First Temple, in its entirety this spring while supporting Protest The Hero on their North American tour. Today, US fans were given more reason to celebrate as the band debuted a series of headlining dates to book-end the Protest The Hero tour, on which they will again be performing First Temple in full. Tickets for these new dates can be purchased from the band’s website.
Last month Equal Vision Records announced plans to release First Temple on vinyl for the first time. Closure In Moscow have received critical acclaim internationally for their stellar live performance and avant-garde sound in the decade plus since they formed in Melbourne, Australia. First Temple saw the band breaking in the United States upon its release in 2009 and has since seen them become regarded as one of the most beloved acts in the world of progressive rock.
Ticket links for the band’s headline dates, as well as, the First Temple vinyl pre-order can be found here and tickets for dates with Protest The Hero can be purchased here.
