Atheist and Cryptopsy are pleased to announce a 29-date co-headlining European & UK tour in February and March 2024, titled the “Unquestionable Blasphemy” tour. On the road, Cryptopsy will be celebrating 30-plus years of extremity as well as presenting live songs from their brand-new studio album As Gomorrah Burns.
Whilst Atheist will be returning to the UK and Europe for the first time since 2011, celebrating this event with a special anniversary set honouring their releases “Piece of Time”, “Unquestionable Presence” and “Elements”. North American groove/thrash metal act Almost Dead will join the line-up as the opening band.
Cryptopsy vocalist Matt McGachy comments:
“We are very excited to finally return to Europe! We have not toured Europe since 2019 and it’s literally one of our favourite places to perform. We are happy to have teamed up with Atheist, they are a killer band and we are really looking forward to have the opportunity to watch them perform each night”.
Atheist vocalist Kelly Shaefer comments:
“We cannot wait to finally return to Europe and the UK after over a decade. It has been far too long. We are bringing a setlist spanning over 30 years of our career, and couldn’t be more excited to play these songs for you all. Also to share the stage with my old friend Flo Mounier, and the incomparable Cryptopsy boys, along with some other friends as well. The ‘Unquestionable Blasphemy’ Tour 2024 is coming, and we hope you are ready for a truly crushing metal evening! See you soon”.

Earlier this year, progressive death metal legends Atheist re-released their entire discography, comprised of 4 albums that span the band’s 30-year career, on all streaming services worldwide. The return to digital platforms was the first phase of a comprehensive re-issue campaign. The band followed up by offering their albums in various physical formats with all-new revised layouts, now available on CD and vinyl via Nuclear Blast.

In September just gone, Canadian extreme-metal legends Cryptopsy unleashed their massively-anticipated, catastrophic new album, “As Gomorrah Burns”. The tech-death masters’ 8th album and first full-length in over a decade, arrived with a throat-punch of brutality as witnessed on singles like “Flayed the Swine” and “In Abeyance”.
