Vortex and XAON Announces “Symphony for the Dead” Eastern Canadian Tour

Rimouski, Quebec’s Vortex, announces they are pairing up with France’s XAON for an Eastern Canadian tour this coming April, followed by European dates in October and November.

Entitled “Symphony For The Dead Tour,” the Canadian edition of shows will kick off in Montreal on April 15th and see both bands perform ten dates across Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick with support on select shows from Omnivide, Strigampire, Ulfhednar, and Burning Attic (dates listed below).

The tour will also be in support of VORTEX’s next release for 2025, a new five-song EP to follow their third studio album, The Future Remains In Oblivion, released in 2023. That info will be revealed in the coming weeks.

In June 2023, Vortex released The Future Remains In Oblivion, their third epic concept album set to aggressive and beautiful orchestral melodic death metal with hints of black metal. Each song on the album is one chapter in their well-written sci-fi tale, and there is a build-up in intensity and emotion that goes along with the storyline and the lyrics as you traverse the album.
