U.S.

death metal veterans INCANTATION have announced a new food drive initiative alongside their current tour dates.

As part of the ongoing leg of the "Praise The Beast North American Tour" with fellow bruisers BELPHEGOR, HATE and NARCOTIC WASTELAND, the band aims to collect non-perishable food donations from fans at each night's show.

Frontman John McEntee explains that his own recent struggles with accessing venue hospitality motivated him to take action.

"We have had so many people reach out with help after my last post about our hospitality issues," he says.

"But now, I've come to realize there are those in far more dire situations than us." McEntee notes that fans can drop off collected donations at local food banks following the shows, and is calling on locals who can transport the goods to reach out.

The tour continues with remaining dates: Feb.
