American heavy psych/doom metal trio Temptress kicks off Spring Tour 2025 today!

Continuing their raucous ascent, Temptress is eager to ignite stages again and announce a new list of live shows for the season, furthering their momentum into Canada for this round. This bold Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas based trio certainly thrives on intensity.

Founded in early 2019, Temptress released a self-titled EP five months after their first practice session and has maintained an impressive pace ever since. The group has built a die-hard fan base, released their first full-length album, »See«, in 2023 via Metal Assault Records, earned praise from the heavy press for their genre-gliding music, and boasts a remarkable history of live performances supporting legendary acts and emerging talent in the heavy music scene. They’ve also finished writing and recording their sophomore album, but let’s reserve that news for later. We’ve got LIVE music to discuss here!

This Spring 2025 Tour sets Temptress off from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and is accompanied by Thunderchief for a handful of dates as they wind their way across the eastern seaboard before meeting up again to land brutally in the smokey haze of Grim Reefer Fest (featuring REZN) in Baltimore, Maryland.

The band’s bassist/vocalist, Christian Wright, highlights his key thoughts on the upcoming tour:

“We are thrilled to kick off our Spring Tour and especially can’t wait to play at our first-ever performances in Canada – with stops in Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa! The adventures ahead are sure to be unforgettable.

A huge thank you to the crew from Grim Reefer Fest in Baltimore for inviting us this year. Their support inspired us to put together this short tour focusing on new markets and venues. Join us as we share our music on this upcoming journey!”
