Saidan tour Japan and China in October, which for this band is less a routing decision than a homecoming for the material.

The duo formed in Nashville in 2020 and have taken their titles from Japanese ghost stories and video nasties ever since: Onryō: Vengeful Spirits in the Eastern Night, Jigoku: Spiraling Chasms of the Blackest Hell, Onryō II: Her Spirit Eternal, and in 2024 Visual Kill: The Blossoming of Psychotic Depravity. Four albums in five years, plus splits and a boxed set.

The dates and venues are on the tour poster the band put out with the announcement.
