Whitby, Ontario based hardcore/progressive outfit PROTEST THE HERO have issued the following update:

"Hey Canadians (and other nationalities who don't mind paying a little more for shipping),

We are running a pre-order from our independently run Protestthemerch.com website.

The rest of the band doesn't even know it yet, but we will be personally signing some limited edition posters to go out along with a t-shirt and the DVD itself.

The Canadian edition of the DVD will also be in a nice digipack, exclusive to our motherland.

We are too lazy to make up a lot of these, so I am sure they will go relatively quick (wishful thinking?). Anywho, scoot on over to the website and check out the deal.

Hope to see some of you non-Canadians in Europe when we make our way over there tomorrow. Expect less facial hair."

A previous update from the group reads:

"Salutations,

Our first DVD is coming out on September 15th, and like every other release, we have decided to throw together a fancy little pre-order here.

It is priced at recession level and involves original album artwork and a tee shirt designed by Daniel Mumford - a chap we know from England who happens to be okay with linework designs. Seriously, if this shirt was not involved in this pre-sale, it would be at least 20 bones by itself.

Anywho, have a look and see what you think - and check out the other goodies while you're there. Kisses."

As previously reported, Protest The Hero will be releasing their live new CD/DVD titled Gallop Meets The Earth on September 15th via Underground Operations/Universal Music Canada and Vagrant Records in the US. The tracklist is as follows: 'Sequoia Throne', 'No Stars Over Bethlehem', 'Bloodmeat', 'The Dissentience', 'Palms Read', 'Blindfolds Aside', 'Goddess Bound', 'Goddess Gagged', 'Spoils', 'Nautical', 'Limb from Limb'.
