Vancouver, BC's progressive tech death metallers Neck of the Woods have issued an update of North American tour dates in support of their debut album "The Passenger" released last September via Basick Records. The debut album was recorded at Rain City Recorders and produced by Stu McKillop and the band, with art direction by vocalist Jeff Radomsky and layout design by Kevin Moore at Soft Surrogate. The nine-track offering truly captures the band’s crushing blend of progressive, death-inspired, technical, and groove-laden metal.

Guitarist Dave Carr comments: "We can’t wait to hit the road and make some new friends. Being from Ontario myself, I’m personally very excited to bring this band back to where I grew up and play the circuit. This is a huge opportunity to get our music out to a whole new fan base, especially with the US dates. We’re ready to hit the road and show everyone what NOTW is all about!"

Vocalist Jeff Radomsky adds: "We're all looking forward to playing for a ton of new audiences across Canada and the Eastern U.S.. We'll be branching into so many new areas, most of which I've never traveled to! Save the date, this tour will be one you won't forget!"

“The Passenger” is available digitally through Basick Records and on physical CD through the band’s Bandcamp page. More...
