American singer-songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle will be making numerous visits to the UK and Europe next year, including a February tour, and two festival dates at Roadburn in The Netherlands, and at ArcTangent in Bristol, UK. Rundle’s tour will commence on the 5th of February in Dampierre, France, and will conclude on the 26th of February in Lisbon, Portugal. During the tour, she will play three UK dates.
Rundle released a statement via Instagram outlining her excursions to Europe and the UK in the not too distant future. Check it out below. This announcement comes in the wake of the release of her new album ‘Engine of Hell.’
Roadburn Festival, who are hosting Rundle on their 2022 artist roster, offered warm praise of Rundle’s new album in a statement, saying: “Honesty and vulnerability have run through much of Emma’s output over the years, but on Engine of Hell the rawness and repressed pain that accompanies her lived experiences bubble to the surface…Engine of Hell is the sound of one woman claiming dominion over her past and leading it with authority into her future…Our firm belief that Emma can command an enraptured main stage audience is unwavering.” You can find Engine of Hell on all streaming services, and physical media is available here.
The release of Engine of Hell comes just a year after Rundle’s collaboration with formidable Louisiana sludge metal sextet Thou, entitled May Our Chambers Be Full. The record showcases a haunting marriage of Rundle’s eerie, ethereal folk stylings and the crushing guitars and cavernous screamed vocals that Thou have become known for over their vast musical catalogue.
Roadburn Festival, which has been a haven for the darker and more extreme corners of music since its inception, boasts an impressive line-up this year. Acts include instrumental post-metal outfit Russian Circles, black metal/shoegaze band Alcest, electronic/industrial rock titans HEALTH and extreme metal/grindcore stalwarts Full of Hell, who will be performing four times, including a collaborative set with shoegazers NOTHING.

Rundle is also scheduled to hit the UK and Europe in February 2022 and has also been added to the extremely exciting line-up of acts playing at ArcTanGent festival in Bristol, including Opeth, Cult of Luna, Delta Sleep, Amenra and The Locust.
