Extreme Management Group Announces Extreme Metal Pioneers Suffocation Currently on Tour Alongside Cradle of Filth with Special Guest Legendary Drummer John Longstreth

The 17-date Majestic In Death tour reunites two extreme metal institutions across North America this spring, with Suffocation, the Long Island band that helped launch EMG two decades ago, returning to U.S. stages from April 26 through May 26. Suffocation will also be playing 6 dedicated headlining shows including stops in Wilmington, Asheville, Memphis, Charlotte, Springfield and Indianapolis.

NEW YORK, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Extreme Management Group (EMG), the New York-based worldwide artist management firm celebrating its 20th anniversary leading metal and rock acts, has confirmed that founding roster client Suffocation has joined Cradle of Filth on the British headliners' Majestic In Death North American tour which began on April 30, 2026 in San Antonio, Texas.

The 17-date run carries the bands across Texas, the Southeast, the Mid-Atlantic, the Midwest, and the Mountain West, and will close May 26 in Indianapolis. Expected highlights include a stop at Welcome To Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida on May 7 and an appearance at Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio on May 14. For Suffocation, the tour marks a continuation of an established touring partnership with Cradle of Filth that closed out a European leg, the Splintered In Winter run, in Antwerp, Belgium late last year.

As a special treat for metal fans, Suffocation announced that legendary drummer John Longstreth (Origin) will be joining them on this tour as a special guest drummer. Known for his incredible speed, precision, and groundbreaking work in extreme metal, John will be the perfect fit for Suffocation’s energy, making this a tour not to be missed.
