Protest the Hero

Canadian progressive metallers Protest the Hero will soon invade North America for a run of 2014 tour dates. A strong roster of supporting acts have been announced, including Battlecross, the Safety Fire, Intervals, Night Verses + Motorleague.

Thanks to Protest the Hero's successful Indiegogo campaign, the group have been able to finish up 'Volition,' their fourth studio album, as well as team up with Razor & Tie to develop top notch collectibles for fans who pre-order the new disc.

In the interim, PTH drafted Lamb of God skinsman Chris Adler to record the drums for their new album, which they are crowdfunding via Indiegogo. Adler has already recorded his parts for the album, all with Carlson's blessing.
