PLACE OF SKULLS To Release As A Dog Returns In Europe; Announce European Tour With THE GATES OF SLUMBER
March 24, 2011, 13 years ago
Volcom Entertainment has joined forces with legendary doom guitarist/vocalist Victor Griffin (PENTAGRAM, DEATH ROW, CATHEDRAL) and PLACE OF SKULLS.
Titled As A Dog Returns, the nine-track follow-up to 2006's The Black Is Never Far was released in North America last fall via Giddy Up Records. Recorded at Lakeside Studios in Knoxville by Travis Wyrick and Griffin with drums recorded and engineered by Mike Dearing, As A Dog Returns will finally see a proper European release on April 4th via Volcom with distribution by ADA Warner.
Said Griffin of the cooperation: "We're extremely happy with this arrangement. I've had my eye on Volcom for some time now. They're a wide-reaching company and have their hand in other markets besides music... a clothing line, skateboard/surfing apparel, and more. It's cool that a company like this loves heavy music and only puts out the stuff they really dig. It's just a whole different angle than the way labels typically work."
Coinciding with the European release of As A Dog Returns, Place Of Skulls will embark on a European tour with THE GATES OF SLUMBER.
