Architects, Stray From The Path, and Rolo Tomassi will embark on a UK run in April. Dates follow:

On an early November morning en route to Salt Lake City, Stray From The Path had a run with disaster – a patch of black ice sent the band's van and trailer swerving off a frozen U.S. highway before the break of dawn. "We flipped and then a semi-truck flipped behind us the other way," guitarist Tom Williams recalls of the catastrophe. "Our bassist Anthony [Altamura] was sleeping…we thought he was dead for a few seconds."

Having experienced periods of intense turbulence since the group's formation in 2001, the Long Island hardcore band has managed to survive through its growing pains, even in times of doubt. When the band approached Periphery mastermind Misha Mansoor to produce them in the late 2000s, Mansoor initially told them that their 2008 album Villains (produced by Kurt Ballou of Converge) "sucked" and the he hated it. After tracking a demo with the band, he eventually took interest in taking on what became their 2009 effort Make Your Own History.

A chaotic and stormy evolution is what Stray From The Path says is the cornerstone of its latest album Rising Sun (released in August via Sumerian) – which is seemingly beginning to pay off. The band will embark on its first-ever U.S. headlining run in January with Cruel Hand and Structures, and will immediately follow-up the stint supporting Every Time I Die on a North American trek. The band members further speak optimistically of an upcoming 4-way split vinyl release, set to feature cover tracks from them and three other bands, expected out next year.

As our conversation on the evolution of Stray From The Path and Rising Sun becomes more in depth, York and Williams (left to right) continue their story of the van accident.

Stray From The Path will embark on their first-ever headlining run, "Bring it Back to the Streets Tour," with Cruel Hand, Structures, Counterparts, and Betrayal in January/February. Dates follow:

Stray From The Path have been forced to pull out of the upcoming European stint, Evil Tiger Vulture Tour, with Norma Jean and The Chariot. They have been replaced with Dead and Divine. 

The band commented, "Ok so a lot of you have heard already, but it is very very unfortunate, due to recent events we have to cancel our European tour with the chariot and Norma Jean. We haven't had to cancel anything yet, but buying plane tickets and starting a tour in thousands of dollars in debt with all of the problems we have had this month, is just impossible. It sucks to make decisions based on finances, but it was just not feasable. We are in the works now with coming to Europe asap, and sorry to disappoint our fans there, but luckily we have been replaced by dead and divine, who rules." 

Following last week's automobile accident involving Stray From The Path, where the band's van and trailer flipped, a benefit shirt has been launched to help cover the cost of damages via All Merch.
