blessthefall is excited to announce that they will be direct support to Atreyu on the Congregation Of The Damned Tour this fall. The tour heads out across the U.S. and Canada this October / November, and also features Chiodos, Architects and Endless Hallway.

“I can’t wait to get on the road with Atreyu,” notes blessthefall’s inimitable frontman Beau Bokan. “I’ve known a few of those guys for a while now, and to finally get the chance to tour with them is going to be awesome. On Cool Tour we made good friends with Architects so it’s going to be a treat to see those dudes again… and with Chiodos and Endless Hallway on the package, this tour is gonna slay!”

The band is currently touring South America with August Burns Red, and heads to Europe as direct support to the band this September. The Atreyu tour caps off a banner year for the band, who will have played dates in 16 countries by the end of 2010 in support of crittically-acclaimed current album Witness.

TO SPEAK OF WOLVES burst into the national metal consciousness with the May release of their brutally brilliant debut full-length, Myself < Letting Go, on Solid State Records.

Now, armed with an internet buzz and an album that’s received praise from AOL/NOISECREEP, ALTERNATIVE PRESS, DECOY MUSIC and more, TO SPEAK OF WOLVES are ready to take it to the fans and the unconverted this summer with live dates alongside BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE and previously announced dates supporting UNDEROATH throughout August (dates below).

Mixed by metal mastermind Jason Suecof (ALL THAT REMAINS, AUGUST BURNS RED, TRIVIUM), Myself < Letting Go is the debut full-length from the North Carolina five-piece. The band has crafted an album that careens wildly between brutally bombastic riffage and soaring, arena-worthy choruses. On the impressive debut, vocalist Rick Jacob’s voice both hammers and haunts, vaulting seamlessly from sky-high melodies to visceral screams.

Praise For Myself < Letting Go

A crashing force of melody and hardcore… There has been a heavy buzz about To Speak of Wolves.” –AOL NOISECREEP

Passion and execution make To Speak Of Wolves stand out… I’m almost hesitant to even mention potential with these guys, as this debut is so strong.” –DECOY MUSIC

[To Speak of Wolves] have all the tricks down… Expertly produced by the master of high-tech headbanging, Jason Suecof.” –ALTERNATIVE PRESS

Myself < Letting Go is a fantastic record... Everything about this record, from the guitars to the vocals, drums and bass, screams talent.” –THE NEW REVIEW

This thick guitar driven album is sure to please metalcore fans… An extremely well produced debut album and another solid album from yet another excellent Solid State act.” –INDIE VISION MUSIC

A mix of aggressive elements with meandering melody and an uncompromising expression of beliefs… A commendable release.” –UNDER THE GUN

Refreshing … makes you want to stand there, close your eyes, reach your hands for the skies and allow whatever emotion is building up inside you to erupt.” –RICHLAND CHRONICLE

Fans of the genre will find plenty to enjoy… [To Speak of Wolves] could plausibly create their own sizable shadow” -ROCKFREAKS

This CD has a more mature feel to it and I believe it is a natural progression from their previous EP. The disc seems to be more focused, a bit heavier and at times a bit more melodic, making it quite an enjoyable listen.” -PURE GRAIN AUDIO

With the ground-trembling vocals of Rick Jacobs, coupled with guitar riffs that make you want to air-drum your days’ aggression away, this quintet is going places!” -HOPECORE

Outstanding production quality. Every guitar/bass part is delicately executed to perfection and the screams are well heard, along with the perfectly tempoed clean parts… This is worth picking up.” -THE INTERLUDE
