As I Lay Dying, Blessthefall, War of Ages Spring 2010 Tour
. .
As I Lay Dying will headline a spring tour with support from Demon Hunter, Blessthefall, and War Of Ages.
Here’s a quote about the tour from AILD’s frontman Tim Lambesis:
“Now that we’re almost done with the new album, we can´t wait to get on the road and start playing the new songs for our fans in the US. Along with a new album comes a fresh excitement, and I can honestly say that I’m as passionate about music now as I was when this band first started. The tour line-up is solid and marks our first time getting to tour with our friends in Demon Hunter. Get there early to see the whole thing!”

Vampires Everywhere! Signs With Century Media
. .
In a surprising move (to me at least) first reported on the Vampires Everywhere! MySpace Page, the band has signed with Century Media Records.
The move is surprising to me on two levels. Number one (which number two ties into) is that for any of you who are not familiar with Century Media, the label is home to bands such as Winds of Plague, Terror, Suicide Silence, and Despised Icon. Given, they are also home to Lacuna Coil; but they seem to be an exception to the rule. Head on over to the Century Media Records Website to check out the rest of the lineup.
Secondly, after watching their video for ‘Immortal Love’ (embedded below), I really wasn’t very impressed. Their use of AutoTune is way over the top. Some bands (We Came As Romans, A Skylit Drive) use it to make their melodic parts sound prettier, these guys use it to sound like robots.
Thanks, but I’ll pass.
Check out the video for ‘Immortal Love’ below and make your own decision.
