California-based extreme Prog-Metal band ANA KEFR have released the tour dates for their upcoming month-long U.S. tour in October-November, all in support of their recently released, critically acclaimed second full-length album “The Burial Tree (II)” (Muse Sick Records), the follow-up to 2009’s debut “Volume 1” (Muse Sick).

Regarding the tour, ANA KEFR frontman and keyboardist Rhiis D. Lopez commented: “Ana Kefr is a D.I.Y. band to the core, and this tour is an in-house job down to the smallest of details. There are plenty of bands constantly on the road, but the majority of the longer tours are backed by labels and booking agents. Our tour was organized by myself and Fonzie (Alphonso Jimenez, bass), and as such you’ll see we’re playing everything from larger stages to sweaty underground Metal bars. We’ve even organized the line-up on half of these shows and are seriously impressed by the enthusiasm and generosity of Metal-loving strangers. We can’t wait to meet everyone, share some beers and bang some heads!”

CHECK OUT THE TOUR DATES ON THE POSTER BELOW!

The tour is sponsored by Kosher Metal and RH Merch.

KRAMPUS – Releases “Kronos’ Heritage”: 3 Song EP

Posted in folk metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, metal odyssey, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , , on August 20, 2011 by Metal Odyssey

Italy’s fast rising Melodic Death Folk Metal band KRAMPUS have just released their highly anticipated follow-up to Shadows of Our Time in the form of a killer three song EP titled Kronos’ Heritage.

The band is coming off a Summer full of European Festivals and are looking to make waves again with this new release. KRAMPUS is at the forefront of the fast emerging Folk Metal scene and are a force to be reckoned with.

As with all of KRAMPUS‘s music, the band has a powerful message behind the lyrics as they deal with the ever-changing state of humanity, nature, and social issues.  As clearly seen in the lyrics, the band is adamant about making their fans aware of the current state of the world and bringing to light the need for change and for humanity to take responsibility for itself as the world heads into darker times.

In addition, the band will film a music video with director Andrea Guarascio (Elvenking, Caparezza) at the helm for the album’s title track, “Kronos’ Heritage”.
