Last year, prior to issuing their new album, Kingdoms Disdained, Morbid Angel embarked on their first headlining run since reuniting with bassist / vocalist Steve Tucker, who was with the group for a three album spell in the late '90s and early 2000s. Now, the death metal pioneers will venture back out on a U.S. tour in support of their ninth record.

Joining them on this run will be Misery Index, Origin, Dreaming Dead and Hate Storm Annihilation. The trek starts on April 16 with Misery Index, who have a pair of new singles out this year so far, billed as direct support. They'll drop off the tour after the April 25 date in Michigan and Origin will assume their spot until the end of the jaunt on May 17.

Morbid Angel's last tour featured material exclusively from the Tucker era (Formulas Fatal to the Flesh, Gateways to Annihilation, Heretic and Kingdoms Disdained) with only one new song, Paradigms Warped, in the set list as the new record had yet to be released. Kingdoms Disdained marked a return to the bludgeoning death metal style fans were accustomed to after the ill-fated Illud Divinum Insanus eventually saw the entire band's lineup jettisoned, save for lone mainstay Trey Azagthoth.
