Light This City Report From The Road

Bay Area thrashers LIGHT THIS CITY are currently on the road, headlining the Thrash And Burn Tour, alongside labelmates THE FUNERAL PYRE.

The band has offered this update from the road: "The Thrash and Burn Tour '07 is going amazing! The first week was definitely awesome, and beyond our expectations. The first five shows were with CERBERUS and ANTAGONIOST, who killed it each night. Highlights include Redwood City, Fresno, and The Chain Reaction! Thanks to everyone who have come out to the shows so far. Besides the horrible, horrible heat in the desert, we couldn't be having a better time. We are now with THE FUNERAL PYRE and ANTAGONIST for the rest of the tour. This tour has been so awesome because everyone on the tour is pretty much best friends. We have known these bands for a long time and toured with them before, so we are one big Heavy Metal family. We have three new awesome merch designs on this tour, so if you are planning on coming to any of the shows, prepare to see some awesome new shirts and hoodies. This is our first tour headlining, so we sincerely appreciate everyone who has come out to the shows thus far. See you on the rest of the dates!"

The band continues to support its latest effort, "Facing The Thousand", which saw a fall 2006 release through Prosthetic Records. The band recently shot a video for the track "The Unwelcome Savior" with director Soren (UNEARTH), which can be seen here.
