This fall, Los Angeles-based death metal act Abysmal Dawn will kick off a North American tour in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Conquerors of Armageddon.

The trek has been set to kick off in early November and run through the start of December 2025. This run will be a reunion between Abysmal Dawn and Krisiun. It was nearly two decades ago that the two bands first hit the road together in 2006. Notably, Abysmal Dawn's debut tour was alongside Krisiun.

The upcoming "Conquerors of Armageddon 25th Anniversary Tour" features support from New York's Pyrexia and Fargo's Gorgatron. In addition to revisiting some rarely played early tracks, Abysmal Dawn will reportedly preview material from their upcoming sixth album, the follow-up to 2020's Phylogenesis.

Abysmal Dawn took to their official Instagram page to announce the fall 2025 North American tour, captioning:

"🔥ABYSMAL DAWN storms across North America this fall!🔥Season of Mist's own masters of modern death metal join Krisiun’s Conquerors of Armageddon 25th Anniversary Tour alongside Pyrexia and Cognitive, bringing a night of relentless extremity to cities across the U.S. and Canada. Catch ABYSMAL DAWN live as they deliver their signature blend of crushing riffs and unrelenting precision!"

Abysmal Dawn's vocalist and guitarist Charles Elliott stated:

"Our first time touring together back in 2006 was actually the first tour we ever did, and we have been friends ever since. It's a privilege to be blasting together again, this time in support of the anniversary of one of the most extreme metal albums ever made."

Abysmal Daw was formed in Los Angeles in 2003. Their debut album, From Ashes, was released in 2006. Since then, they have dropped five full-length records. Their most recent is Phylogenesis (2020), which was released through Season of Mist.
