Season Of Mist will release technical death metallers GNOSTIC's debut album, Engineering The Rule, on May 25th in Europe, June 14th in North America.

Engineering The Rule (final artwork pictured) will feature the following tracklisting: 'Visceral', 'Isolate Gravity', 'Sleeping Ground', 'Engineering The Rule', 'Wall Of Lies', 'Violently Calm', 'Life Suffering', 'Corrosive', 'Mindlock', 'Splinters Of Change'.

In related news, Gnostic will hit US roads with their big brothers ATHEIST in July. See tour dates below.

Drummer Steve Flynn comments about the upcoming tour and unique double-duty situation:

"We're absolutely thrilled to be doing this tour with such an incredible lineup of brutal technical bands. This bill is going to just peel your face off. Not only are all the bands insanely technical and heavy, but the lineup also covers a broad spectrum of style - from the almost avant-garde sound of PSYOPUS to the straight up technical death metal sounds of Gnostic and Atheist. Then you throw in the more modern break-neck technicality, unrivaled musicianship and speed of THE FACELESS, and the brutality of THE AGONIST, and you've got yourself one hell of a night. This will also be somewhat experimental in the world of technical death metal, as 3 of us (me on drums, Chris Baker on guitars, and Jonathan Thompson on bass (in Gnostic) and guitars (in Atheist)) are in two bands and playing TWO shows per night. I can't recall a similar situation in technical death metal. It will be a marathon-esque physical and mental exercise. This tour will also be Gnostic's debut to the world as we're supporting our first release via Season of Mist:, Engineering The Rule.
