Gothy rockers Evanescence have announced a new North American tour for this fall, with Toronto and Montreal leading off the string of dates.

Billboard reports that the tour begins on October 5 with a stop at Toronto’s Kool Haus. The band will hit the Metropolis in Montreal the next night, before jetting off for three weeks of shows in the U.S.

In the middle of the tour, the band will take a short break to head south for a performance at the MTV Video Music Awards Latin. It’s being held on October 19 in Mexico City.

Tickets for the tour (which features purposely intimate venues) go on sale August 19. They’ll return to play for bigger crowds in 2007.

Evanescence’s new album, “The Open Door,” is set for an October 3 release in North America.
