From Autumn to Ashes Drop Off Reunion Tour

Right in the middle of their reunion tour, From Autumn to Ashes have announced that due to a personal emergency, the group have dropped off of their own reunion tour.

In a statement, the band revealed the disheartening news, but did go on to encourage the fans who bought tickets to still go to the upcoming shows and support the other bands that are on the bill (Hawthorne Heights, Sleepwave, and Extinction AD). They also promised to make it up which is always a good thing.

Check out the band’s statement below.

“Unfortunately, due to a personal emergency beyond our control, we will not be able to play our upcoming west coast shows with our friends in Hawthorne Heights, Sleepwave, and Extinction AD, nor will we be doing the NYC date with Emery and Fashion Week. We apologize to everyone who was planning on coming out to see these shows. We’ll be making up shows as soon as we can. Thank you all so much for your continued support, we are incredibly grateful to every one of you for sticking by us throughout the years. We’ll keep you updated on when the make-up shows will be. As always, thanks for everything…we’ll see you soon!”

From Autumn to Ashes announced their return from six-year hiatus late last year. The news was soon followed by the news that they would be one of the several bands reuniting at this year’s Skate and Surf Festival alongside Thrice, Acceptance, and Poison the Well.

From Autumn to Ashes Announce First Post-Hiatus Tour

After announcing they would be reuniting late last year, From Autumn to Ashes will be taking their reunion on the road for a Summer tour.

From Autumn to Ashes had announced plans to go on an indefinite hiatus back in 2008 right before releasing their last release, Live at Looney Tunes. Now, it looks like their return will be permanent and even have a pre-Skate and Surf Fest show scheduled for May 15 at Revolution Music Hall in Amityville.

If you plan on going to that show, we might advise that you check to see if there are any tickets available because the place has a maximum capacity of like 250 people and they went on sale back in March.

The Devil Wears Prada Officially Rejoin Rise Records

It’s official, The Devil Wears Prada have rejoined Rise Records.

Last week, the record label (as well as the band) had released a cryptic video that gave no information at all, just the band and label’s logos side by side after some video from space.

Quickly after the video was released, publications and fans alike began to claim that the band had returned to their roots for their new record.

Today, the rumors were confirmed with The Devil Wears Prada frontman, Mike Hranica, releasing a statement on the matter.

“We’re all very confident in working with Rise again,” begins Hrancia.

“The label has grown tremendously since our first release back in 2006, nonetheless we know their intention is still the same as ever and we know it’s a model that will compliment us well. We’re persistently hands-on and love to do exactly as we please, and they’re a great place for us to be able to continue that path while supporting our visions. Rise can be commended, deservedly, for their wholehearted drive at releasing albums they believe in; and it’s that enthusiasm that is both welcoming and exciting for our band moving forward.”

As for the video that was release online last week that started the talks of a reconcile? Turns out, the band are working on a conceptual album titled what else, Space which is set to be released sometime in the Summer. No official release date has been given.

If the reunion with Rise and the announcement of a new album wasn’t enough, the Ohio band just kicked off a double leg, headlining this past Sunday (March 15). Full dates, including the recently added second leg, for that can be seen below.

Sleepwave Appear to Be “Whole Again” in New Video

Sleepwave just wrapped up a mini-tour with Chiodos and We Came As Romans last week and now, the group have given us the music video for “Whole Again,” a track from their recently released debut album.

The video opens with them inside of an industrial warehouse, with the members (and others?) laying on some slabs connected to what appears to be EKG machines. But as the video progresses and in between shots of the band performing the track, we see these so-called “medical experts,” who looks more like vampires, start to draw blood from their “victims.”

Chilling, huh and for some reason reminds us of Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” video.

Check out “Whole Again” below.

“Whole Again” is taken from Sleepwave’s debut album, Broken Compass which was released back in September through Epitaph Records.

Sleepwave will reportedly be heading out on tour in 2015 in support of Broken Compass though no official tour dates have been revealed yet.

Chiodos to Head Out on Short ‘Holiday’ Tour

Chiodos have been a little quiet since September when news broke they would be down two members. As quickly as the announcement was made, the band announced the replacements and everything was back to normal.

Now, more good news for fans of the band; they will be heading out on a holiday tour in December. The slight tour will being on Dec. 10 in Pontiac, MI at The Crofoot and wrap up on Dec. 18 in Cleveland at the Agora Theater.

Also headlining the short tour will be We Came as Romans with special guests Sleepwave and Slaves.

Tour dates for the seven-day trek can be seen below.

CHIODOS with WE CAME AS ROMANS HOLIDAY TOUR:

Dec 10 Pontiac, MI – The Crofoot
Dec 12 Baltimore, MD – Baltimore Sound Stage
Dec 13 Worchester, MA – Palladium
Dec 14 Poughkeepsie, NY – The Chance
Dec 15 New York, NY – Irving Plaza
Dec 17 Lancaster, PA – Chameleon Club
Dec 18 Cleveland, OH – Agora Theater

This holiday tour will come two months after they wrapped up their gig on A Day to Remember’s “Parks and Devastation” tour which ended earlier this month (Oct. 11).

In other news, Chiodos have recently been confirmed to be performing at the South by So What? Festival in March at the QuikTrip Park in Grand Prairie, TX.
