Dragged Into Sunlight have just announced that they will be bringing their heavy, exploratory metal to the thoroughly excellent Incubate Festival, taking place from September 16-22 in Tilburg in The Netherlands.

But first the band will be blasting their extreme noise at audiences across the UK and Ireland. It’s their first time in three years traversing home turf, and joining in the darkness and mayhem are atmospheric-sludge purveyors Bossk (apart from at the Dublin, Bristol and Incubate shows) - here are the dates in full:

MAY
Fri 24 - The Pint, Dublin
Sat 25 - Birthdays, London
Sun 26 - Alter Ego, Manchester
Mon 27 - Audio, Glasgow
Tue 28 - The Library, Leeds

AUGUST
Fri 30 - ArcTanGent Festival, Day Of Damnation, Bristol

SEPTEMBER
Fri 20 - Incubate Festival, Tilburg, Holland

Additionally, the band will be on the interwebs for a Reddit Ask Me Anything session on May 7 from 7pm GMT if you fancy trying to find out what's going on beneath those balaclavas.

We'll leave you with a teaser for the band's live show, and a nicely intense bit of footage from their show at last year's Maryland Deathfest:
