German black metallers Imha Tarikat have announced a set of new European shows for 2025 and 2026. In January 2026, the band will support The Ruins Of Beverast on their Tempelschlaf Release Tour for four shows (also joined by Rană and Ultima Necat). The band will also perform two headliner shows and appear at five festivals, which include their debut concert in Istanbul, Turkey, and an appearance at the legendary Beyond the Gates Festival in Bergen, Norway, next year, among other prestigious events.
Imha Tarikat's mastermind, Kerem Yilmaz, comments: "Onwards we storm, burn with us! We look forward with utmost anticipation to bring our fire of wild unity to a town near you! Joining The Ruins Of Beverast alongside Rană and Ultima Necat in January, we will make sure to leave no darkness unlit. With an expanding trail of performances, including our headline show in Istanbul, which is our premiere in Turkey as well as our return to Norway for Beyond the Gates Festival, and many more high calibre events. We will make it clear that we mean each word that we proclaim. Expect us to strike with even more intensity than you have seen us before. Forever at war with a passionless world!"
The band's fourth full-length, Confessing Darkness, was released in June through Lupus Lounge (for more info, follow HEREs). Link
