Blog author:  Alex Stojanovic

Here's some exciting news from Act Of Defiance.  The band's debut album Birth & The Burial is coming out this Friday, but the entire album is available for streaming at this location. You can also check out our review of the album here.  

On top of that, the band have announced their first North American tour dates set to take place this fall.  They will be heading out on a co-headliner with Metal Blade labelmates Allegaeon.  The tour will be hitting 18 cities across the U.S and Canada starting on October 22nd in Las Vegas and running through November 15 in Providence, Rhode Island.

Drummer Shawn Drover comments:  "We are all so proud for everybody to finally be able to hear 'Birth & The Burial' streaming in its entirety.  We worked extremely hard to make the best heavy metal record we could, and we are all beyond excited for you to sink your teeth into this record.

We said from the get-go, this record is 100% upcompromising heavy metal, and now you can hear it for yourselves.

With the release of 'Birth & The Burial", we as Act Of Defiance can now at last announce our first co-headlining tour with our new Metal Blade labelmates Allegaeon.  This tour will be 100% complete heavy metal and we cannot wait to see you all there.

Guitarist Chris Broderick adds:  "We spent a lot of time and effort on 'Birth & The Burial' to get it to sound as good as it possibly could, and we are not only excited for it's release this Friday, August 21 and the fact that everyone can stream it, but also to announce that we will be heading out on tour to support it in October.  It's one thing to get a CD to sound great, but now we have to live up to that sound live as well, and I know from talking to Shawn, Henry and Matt that we are going to bring it!  

The tour will be with our Metal Blade record labelmates Allegaeon.  I urge you to pick up the CD and then come see us live to compare and contrast.
