On June 20th, Immortal Bird will pair up with space prog industrialists, InAeona, in Las Vegas, Nevada and level ten more venues, the trek coming to a close on July 1st in Rock Springs, Wyoming.
"This is our most extensive tour to date," says vocalist Rae Amitay, "and we are really excited to be playing for a whole bunch of new and old friends. The first leg with Theories should be a bunch of deathy, grindy, goodness. Then we'll join up with InAeona and get a little groovier and more atmospheric for a couple of weeks. Once this run is finished, we'll be taking time to write a follow-up to last year's Empress/Abscess and will take some of the new material on the road in October for a brief stint with Colorado's Vermin Womb."

Shadow Woods Metal Fest Changes Location
The inaugural September installation of Shadow Woods Metal Fest, the new open-air camping metal fest, has moved slightly Southeast, from its initial placement in Southern Pennsylvania to White Hall in Harford County, Maryland.
Set to take place September 25th - 27th, 2015, the new location of Shadow Woods Metal Fest is similar to the previous site, with deep woods, cabins and tent camping fields, yet is slightly closer to both Baltimore and Philadelphia, making it even more accessible to East Coast metallers planning on attending the diverse three-day festival.
Since initial announcements, Menace Ruine dropped from the lineup and was replaced by Black Table, yet the remainder of the Shadow Woods Metal Fest lineup remains the same, including lead performances from Midnight, Falls of Rauros, Occultation, Velnias, Iron Man, Anagnorisis, The Flight of Sleipnir and Stone Breath, along with twenty-six additional acts. The fest is also likely to be the first live performance for the surviving members of Wormreich since the tragic vehicle crash in April.
There will be ZERO ticket sales at the gate for the festival -- advance presales to those 21 years of age and older is the only way into the fest, and is still BYOB. The lineup consists of: More...

Shadows Woods Metal Fest Lineup Revealed
The concept of the open air heavy metal music and camping fest, so popular in Europe, seems to be a rarity in America.

Immortal Bird Releasing New Album
Midwest blackened death grind ensemble Immortal Bird will release a brand new full-length this Summer.
Titled "Empress/Abscess," the five track follow-up to 2013's "Akrasia" EP was captured by Pete Grossmann (Weekend Nachos, Harm's Way, Dead In The Dirt) at Bricktop Recording in Chicago earlier this year and mixed and mastered by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice, Nader Sadek, Atheist, Origin etc.) at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves in New York.
"Empress/Abscess" includes a guest appearance by John Hoffman of Weekend Nachos and finds former drummer/vocalist, Rae Amitay, trading in her drum stool for a full-time position at the mic.
Elaborates Amitay, "I've stepped away from drumming duties and enlisted our live drummer, Garry Naples (Novembers Doom). Essentially, I had to set my ego aside and determine what was going to be the best for this music. [Guitarist] Evan [Berry] and I wrote some incredibly challenging material for Empress/Abscess, and Garry had been playing it live for months, whereas I'd been focusing a lot of my drumming energy on the newest Thrawsunblat album.
"My chops are in a very different place than they were when we recorded Akrasia and it would take me a week in the studio to do what Garry can accomplish in two days. Having him behind the kit saved us time, the finished product is stronger, and I was able to delve into the vocal performances and lyrics with my undivided attention. Will I play drums on future Immortal Bird albums? It's entirely likely, but for Empress/Abscess, I passed the sticks over to the best person for the job."
An official release date for "Empress/Abscess" is forthcoming, but expected to drop in late June. As a precursor to its official unveiling, the band will embark upon the Western Migration Tour 2015. More...

We've been writing a lot of material for our new album and we're looking forward to taking some of it on the road before we record. Plus, we all want to see some of that famed New England Fall foliage. Nothing says 'kvlt as fvck' like hot apple cider and sweater weather."
