It is indeed happening this year — a Summer Slaughter Tour for Canada. The trek will cross the entire country and even make a few stops in the Pacific Northwest. Who’s on the bill? The Faceless, Rings of Saturn, Archspire, Fallujah, Fatality (08/14-08/20), and Black Crown Initiate.
Here’s a nice one for all you Canadian folks. Every Time I Die will be headlining a tour with Counterparts and Expire. The trek will run for most of September, and will see ETID out supporting their new album From Parts Unknown.
Light a few candles and chug some whiskey. You know about this LA band All Hail The Yeti? We’ve mentioned them a few times, most recently when they played a show in April with Black Map (Dredg) at the Viper Room. Anyway, these dudes are going to be joining Misery Signals on a few of their 10-year anniversary shows for the release of 2004 album Of Malice and the Magnum Heart. The bummer for us US people…these dates are in Canada.
Later this summer Architects will be touring Canada with Stray From The Path, Being As An Ocean, and My Ticket Home.
You know that new band Sleepwave, featuring former Underoath frontman Spencer Chamberlain? They have a new record (their debut album) coming out later this summer, tentatively titled Broken Compass; and they just inked a deal with Epitaph Records.
