Prog Metal outfit THIRD ION, featuring former members of THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND and INTO ETERNITY, have announced a string of dates that will see the band hitting six Canadian cities later this month.

Guitarist Justin Bender comments: “We are so stoked to bring our nerdy brand of prog metal to western Canada! It’s been a crazy year getting this band off the ground and with an album nearly finished, we need a break, so we decided to hit the road. Join us and all the exceptionally killer bands that are opening each show, for our debut shows in six cities!”

Dates are as follows:

09/11 Winnipeg, MB @ The Zoo (w/ Grand Master and Dissolution)

09/12 Regina, SK @ The Exchange (w/ Magnetic and Room 333)

09/13 Red Deer, AB @ The Vat (w/ Demise Without Reason, Valria, Plaguebringer, Wraith Risen)

09/14 Calgary, AB @ Lord Nelson’s (w/ Kyoktys and Illuminated Minerva)

09/15 Edmonton, AB @ Rendezvous (w/ The Noumenon and The Universe Machine)

09/17 Vancouver, BC @ Biltmore Cabaret (w/ Omnisphere and Wolfbourne)

For a taste of what’s in store, THIRD ION has posted a full studio performance video of the song “Zero Mass.” Watch the video below:

THIRD ION is putting the finishing touches on their debut full-length, 13/8Bit. The band recently posted the lead single off the album, “Capitol Spill,” – check it out below!

THIRD ION is the product of a mutual love of prog, video games, and science. The debut album will contain eight to ten songs, including the title track which is written entirely in 13/8 time signature. 8-Bit musical renditions of every song will be released as well, to pay homage to their 1980s classic gaming inspirations.
