Lawful Evil celebration
California acoustic pirate metal outfit THE DREAD CREW OF ODDWOOD have announced a special North American tour to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their fourth studio album, "Lawful Evil", originally released in 2016. Following several years of extensive touring, the band will return to North America for their first headlining run centered around the album's material.
Dubbed the "Lawful Evil 10 Year Anniversary Tour", the trek will unfold in two legs. The first will take place from October 6–17, covering the eastern United States and southern Canada, while the second leg will run from December 2–11 across the western United States and Canada.
Released in 2016, "Lawful Evil" marked THE DREAD CREW OF ODDWOOD's fourth full-length album and proved to be a major milestone in the band's career, helping expand their touring presence across North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe. During that period, the band also performed at Wacken Winter Nights in 2019.
