In support of their upcoming third full-length, Canto III, the UK's EYE OF SOLITUDE have announced their first-ever tour. A brief, yet devastating, trek across the UK that includes stops in London, Liverpool and Manchester, the Chants Of Grief tour will finally give doom fans the opportunity to experience one of the genre's most massive-sounding acts in the flesh.

The tour will feature direct support from MARCHE FUNEBRE - who just released their second full-length Roots Of Grief on Shiver Records.

Set for release on November 25th in Europe and December 3rd for the rest of the world, Canto III features six tracks for a total running time of 72+ minutes. Pre-orders are now bring taken for the album, as well as several exclusive, specially-priced bundles and limited-edition (1,000 copies at first press), hand-numbered double digi-CDs featuring six bonus tracks taken from the band's 2012 & 2013 digital EPs - Awoken by Crows and The Deceit.

The music is inspired by emotional distress, inner pain and a cruel combination of negativity and grief. Dark shapes that terrorize the soul and keep it captive on the altar of suffering, until when not being able to breathe any longer, it finds its end - a supreme escape towards peace and eternal rest. The Eye Of Solitude is the heart of forests where unsettled spirits dwell, it is the fear within, the carnal ripping of every thought when abandoned in despair, it is nightmare and enlightenment, a fearsome tide that carries the soul and mind onto dark realms of insanity.

Daniel Neagoe - vocals (Unfathomable Ruination)
