Atlanta-based quintet DAATH recently unleashed a straight shot of pure, unfiltered American metal upon the masses with their new full-length album, The Concealers, which is garnering numerous rave reviews.

The group just completed a very successful month-long North American trek alongside DRAGONFORCE and continues their touring onslaught throughout the summer, touring the US with GOATWHORE, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS, SWWAATS and ABYSMAL DAWN.

Be sure to visit myspace.com/daath to view their complete touring itinerary.

Daath shot a video for the scathing new track, 'Day Of Endless Light,' with director Robin Fuller (GHOST OF A THOUSAND, SHAPED BY FATE) last month. A preview clip can be seen below.

Eyal Levi (guitars) further comments: “Daath is definitely back. We just wrapped up our North American tour with Dragonfoce and CYNIC. Now that the dust has settled we have, with proof and via memories, come to the conclusion that this was our best tour ever. On all fronts: crowd reaction, merch sales and new friendships. And any memories we’re too blacked out to remember were caught on film anyways! We have tons of amazing footage from this tour that we’ll be sharing with you guys for a while. Both bands are incredibly easy to tour with because they are composed of such great individuals. Like Kevin Talley was perplexed about, ‘Man, there are no douchebags on this tour! Usually there’s at least one.’ I couldn’t ask for a better tour to come back on after our seemingly centuries long break.

Coming up in the world of Daath are quite a few badass and exciting things. First we have a video we’re about to release for ‘Day Of Endless Light.’ I’ve said in the past that I didn’t want us to create just another metal video with five dudes jamming in an abandoned building or warehouse. We wanted a video that was more of a visual work that just carried a dark and slick vibe and could be considered an animated work of art. Well, so far I personally have only seen 10 seconds of it and holy shit! It is definitely on the way to achieving the goal. Director Robin Fuller and art director Jorden Haley are the kind of people I need to always be working with.

Also, there are some exciting tours in the works. In June and July we’ll be doing the Conquer And Curse tour which features our brothers from Goatwhore. I can’t say enough how much I admire and love this band. Headlining will be Abigail Williams and the first two bands will be Abysmal Dawn and Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky. This tour is going to be a 180 from the Dragonforce tour and I’m excited for the different experience. We also just confirmed that we’re touring Europe with CHIMAIRA, UNEARTH, and THROWDOWN this fall! I don’t need to explain why this is such an amazing tour but let me tell you, we are fucking STOKED to be a part of it! This also will be our second time through Europe with Unearth and can’t wait to share the road with those model human beings.”

The Concealers was produced and mixed by Jason Suecof and Mark Lewis (TRIVIUM, AALL THAT REMAINS, DEVILDRIVER) and features unparalleled musicianship along with the extraordinary vocals of Sean Z.
