TRIVIUM AND ALL THAT REMAINS TEAM UP FOR HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED CO-HEADLINING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
(New York, NY) – September marks the much-anticipated return to the road
for metal behemoths Trivium and All That Remains. The bands will head
out on a co-headlining six-week tour, alternating the closing slot. 36
Crazyfists and The Human Abstract will support, making for an evening of
eclectic and uncompromising metal that will captivate audiences across
the United States (see below for tour dates). Trivium’s new album Shogun
(Roadrunner Records) will hit the streets on September 30th, while All
That Remains’ new album Overcome (Prosthetic/Razor & Tie Entertainment)
is due out on September 16th.
Trivium have sold nearly a million combined records worldwide since
their 2005 debut, Ascendancy. They’ve continued to rise through the
ranks of the American and European metal scenes. Their previous efforts
have landed them multiple magazine covers across the globe in less than
a year and they were picking up “Best New Band” award accolades almost
everywhere they played. Intent on not delivering a ‘part two’ with their
follow-up record, 2006’s The Crusade took a slightly different
direction, with cleaner singing and more varied influences. It retained
their stunning signature guitar work and led to some enviable touring
opportunities with bands such as Metallica and Iron Maiden. With Shogun,
they are poised to please their legion of fans as well as capture new
ones.
Released in July, 2006, All That Remains’ last studio release, The Fall
of Ideals, has sold over 175,000 units to date. Metal bible Kerrang
said the album, “bears all the hallmarks of a classic…the musicianship
is stunning… ruthlessly precise and powerful”, while Metal Hammer
stated, “Track after track, the band leave you breathless…” Since All
That Remains’ first album was released in 2002, the band has grown in
leaps and bounds in every arena. They’ve gone from playing opening slots
to headlining and selling out their own tours and playing major rock
festivals domestically and abroad. The first single from The Fall of
Ideals, “This Calling” could be heard all over the country on hard rock
stations and the corresponding video could be seen on MTV and Fuse. The
song also appeared in the major motion picture, “Saw 3.” “Six,” another
track from the album is featured in the hit video game, “Guitar Hero 2.”
The tour will be presented by Hooves, a shoe company that specializes in
dark, conceptual, high quality hi-top sneakers that glorify all things
metal. The line was launched by producer Nick Raskculinez, who manned
the boards for Shogun, and Gravis Footwear, and featured a limited
edition, blood-stained, pentagram lined shoe that quickly sold out. The
full line kicks off in October 2008. Trivium, All That Remains and their
tourmates are partnering up to bring metal music and culture to the
forefront on this tour. For more information, please visit:
