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!"
Tour dates:
September
12 – Regina, SK – The Exchange
13 – Red Deer, AB – The Vat
14 – Calgary, AB – Lord Nelson’s
15 – Edmonton, AB – Rendezovous
17 – Vancouver, BC – Biltmore Cabaret
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":
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.
Third Ion is:
Justin Bender - guitar
Aaron Edgar - drums
Mike Young - bass
Tyler Gilbert – vocals
