Sumerian Records continues to celebrate its 10 year anniversary, announcing the 10 Years In The Black Tour featuring label artists Asking Alexandria and Born Of Osiris.
 
I See Stars, After The Burial, Upon a Burning Body and Bad Omens round out the North American tour, which launches on October 25th at Seattle’s Showbox Sodo and wraps up in early December.
 
“I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a tour,” Asking Alexandria guitarist Ben Bruce said. “Not only is this our first true North American headlining tour in two years, as well as our first real U.S. headliner with Denis [Stoff] as our vocalist, but this is also a tour celebrating the incredible 10 year journey of Sumerian Records. We couldn’t be more proud to headline such a pivotal tour package and to celebrate the music Sumerian has released.  The tour will include our biggest production to date and the first trek out in support of our new album, The Black. This is going to be something incredibly special.”
 
“To see the celebration of a decade of Sumerian culminate with this tour is a true reflection of the communal spirit and vision that this label was built upon,” said Sumerian Records Founder Ash Avildsen.  “Fans will get to see five headliners all go out together, which is very rare these days because of tour politics, egos, money and everything else that gets in the way of giving music lovers an unforgettable line-up. The fact that these five bands are sharing the stage together and still bringing an opening act to kick off the show makes this a truly special tour. I comment them all. Stay tuned for lots of upcoming announcements about different activities for bands and fans to interact at these shows that go beyond just watching them perform on stage.  Mark my words: This will be the most progressive and interactive tour we have ever done. See you on the road.”
