KNIGHTS OF THE ABYSS - back with a vengeance

Knights of the Abyss have announced three new tours that will keep the band on the road for the next three months.  They’ll be out on the road headlining the To Hell and Back Tour with Broadcast the Nightmare, The Irish Front from June 10th through July 19th, then with Suffokate, Blind Witness, This or The Apocalypse¸ and Wretched from August 6ththrough September 10th.  Immediately at the end of that tour, they’ll go out with Cryptopsy, Rose Funeral and Salt the Wound from September 11th through September 19th.  Dates for the tours can be found on the band’s myspace

Knights of the Abyss are anxious to get out on the road and show off their new lineup and new material.  The band has recently made several member changes, welcoming back Dustin on vocals who sang on the band’s first album Juggernaut, and bringing in Griffin (bass), Brian (guitar), and James (drums) from other AZ bands The Blood Countess andDepiction of a Massacre.  “We know it’s a different lineup and that’s a lot to take, but we’re stronger than ever.  Just come out and see us live, let us prove to you that Knights of the Abyss is more solid than it's ever been”. bassist Griffin commented.

The band recently started pre-production for their next album for release early 2010 and has posted a new pre-pro track “Pandemic” on their myspace page.  After the tour with Cryptopsy, they will enter the studio to record their sophomore full length for Ferret Music.  You can find information about their upcoming tour dates, news about the band, and info about the upcoming album here: http://www.myspace.com/knightsoftheabyss.
