They will follow Loop's set at Roadburn and tour of the US in April and May and are bookended by festival appearances at Primavera Sound, Optimus Primavera Sound and Villette Sonique 2014.

The dates may also follow the release of Godflesh's new album, currently titled A World Lit Only By Fire and slated for a May release.
