STRAPPING YOUNG LAD Announce Ozzfest Off-Dates; MP3 Track Now Available[views:19865][posts:1]______________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 2:13pm - the_reverend ""] STRAPPING YOUNG LAD Announce Ozzfest Off-Dates; MP3 Track Now Available Canadian extremists STRAPPING YOUNG LAD have just announced a slew of major Ozzfest off-dates with such heralded acts as Hatebreed and Unearth, among others. Be sure to scroll down to view their complete summer touring itinerary. The group have triumphantly returned with The New Black, a stunningly well-defined and more diverse effort that is soon to be a landmark in the epic pantheon of heavy metal. The much anticipated new album is set for a July 11th release and the group, led by singer, songwriter and producer Devin Townsend, have redefined their sound, creating what is soon to be the definitive offering of their already stellar career. SYL recently completed a new video for the track "Wrong Side" with renowned director David Brodsky (God Forbid, The Red Chord). Look for the clip to make its Fuse and MTV2 debut early next month. For an early sample of the record click the link below and hear why SYL thinks you suck. http://mp3.centurymedia.com/syl/thenewblack/syl_usuck.mp3 The album's U.S. touring campaign kicks off on June 29th when SYL hits the second stage at Ozzfest, alongside such acclaimed acts as Atreyu, Bleeding Through and Unearth, among others. Townsend further describes his excitement over being a part of Ozzfest and sheds some light on their new disc: "We were very inspired with the idea of doing Ozzfest, and the concept we are running with on this record is really based around abhorring the current music scene, yet being a part of it in some weird way. SYL is ready to be a subversive product for the unwitting 14-year-olds to scream along with. We also intend to sprinkle a little ugly around all the pretty bands this year. You can think of us as the proverbial pubic hair in the cheesecake of this year's festival. See you all soon." Century Media Records also just re-released STRAPPING YOUNG LAD's 1995 debut album, Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing, which changed the metal world forever. The re-issue features a re-mastered version of this classic debut, 4 bonus tracks, the "S.Y.L." video and a 12-page booklet with extended liner notes from Devin himself. In 2006, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD will leave their definitive mark on the genre, leaving their contemporaries wondering how they could ever possibly compete.
