The darkness rises once again as two giants of symphonic black metal, Dimmu Borgir and Carach Angren, officially announce their massive 2027 global tour titled “The Kings of Darkness.” The announcement has already sent waves across the metal community worldwide, with fans eagerly anticipating what could be one of the most theatrical and powerful metal tours in recent years. Both bands are known for their dark orchestral sound, haunting atmospheres, and intense live performances, making this tour a highly anticipated event for fans of extreme and symphonic metal.
The tour, boldly titled “We’re Coming Home,” symbolizes a return to the global stage and to the loyal fans who have supported both bands for decades. Dimmu Borgir, pioneers of symphonic black metal, have built a legacy through massive orchestral arrangements and dark, epic compositions, while Carach Angren have become known for their horror-inspired storytelling, theatrical performances, and cinematic metal sound. Together, this tour promises a combination of darkness, melody, storytelling, and pure metal energy on a massive scale.
According to early information released alongside the announcement, the 2027 global tour will cover major cities across Europe, North America, South America, and parts of Asia, with more locations expected to be revealed soon. The production is expected to be one of the biggest stage setups both bands have ever toured with, featuring elaborate stage designs, dark gothic visuals, pyrotechnics, orchestral backdrops, and theatrical lighting designed to create a full dark fantasy concert experience rather than just a typical metal show.
Fans across the world are already speculating about setlists, possible collaborations on stage, and special performances that could include orchestral sections, classic songs, and newer material from both bands. Many believe this tour could become one of the most memorable symphonic black metal tours in recent history, especially because both bands have strong reputations for delivering intense and visually stunning live performances that go beyond just music and become full theatrical experiences.
With tickets expected to go on sale soon and more dates and cities to be revealed, fans are advised to stay alert and prepare early, as shows are likely to sell out quickly in major cities. The Kings of Darkness tour is shaping up to be more than just a concert tour — it is being presented as a global dark metal event, a gathering of fans of orchestral, gothic, and black metal from around the world. For many fans, 2027 may become the year the darkness truly rises again.
