DESCRIPTION
Steorrah blend a doomier version of Swedish Death Metal with song-oriented Prog and Jazz feels and an almost British sense of melancholy. A must-see for fans of Dan Swanö, earlier Opeth or Tiamat. Appropriately schedlued to accompany the impending autumn gloom. These UK dates of the Rhenish quartett are presented by Zero Tolerance magazine and brought to you by http://facebook.com/DeathWaveEntertainment
We are thrilled to be sharing stage with Manchester's very own Progressive Death Metal juggernauts Spires.
