As I Lay Dying Announces Tour Dates For ‘An Ocean Between Us’ Canadian Tour 2008!

Metal Blade Recording Artist, As I Lay Dying Announces Tour Dates For 'An Ocean Between Us' Canadian Tour 2008! Fan favorites from the Exclaim! Magazine year end reads poll and fresh off their 08 Grammy nominee for best metal performance for 'Nothing Left', San Diego, California's As I Lay Dying are excited to announce their Canadian tour dates with Misery Signals, August Burns Red and label mates Evergreen Terrace.

Guitarist Phil Sgrosso had this to say about announcing the Canadian dates "We are very excited to be doing a national tour in Canada this spring. We haven't hit a lot of those markets since Taste of Chaos back in 2006. Along with the other bands on the tour, it should be a very energetic show every night. The last time we did a club headline tour in Canada was in the spring of 2005 with Throw down, All That Remains, and Winter Solstice. It's been a long time."

This will be As I Lay Dying's first time in nearly 3 years to be playing venues less than 5,000 capacity in Canada. They had recently been on festivals such as Sounds of the Underground, Ozzfest and Warped Tour. "Our shows will definitely be a lot more intimate than what we did on the more festival-style shows. Moshing, crowd surfing, stage diving. I'm sure that will all be taking place more frequently on this tour!"

As I Lay Dying will have Misery Signals, who are no strangers to metal/hardcore fans, play main support to them on all dates in Canada. Guitarist Nick Hipa comments on 'An Ocean Between Us' tour support. "Well it seems like we've played with every heavy band under the sun EXCEPT Misery Signals, who are a pretty sick band, so we figured it was about time! As for August Burns Red and Evergreen Terrace, we're all pretty much joined at the hip."
