New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Since the release of their critically acclaimed album Loss, the nihilistic metal assailants known as SEEKER have not halted the brakes behind support of "one of the most aggressive albums of the year," as described by metal pundits Aardschok Magazine. Following a December headlining tour, SEEKER has now unveiled plans for 2017, including US and Canadian tours with The Grindmother and Psycroptic, and a stop at the Modified
Ghost Fest in Vancouver.
"We're beyond pumped for our February headliner with The Grindmother, Cognitive, and Wvrm," states vocalist/bassist Bryce Lucien. "Every band on this tour is absolutely vicious and the shows are going to be ridiculously intense. We're ready to grind our way up the East Coast with this gang and hit some towns that we haven't played in a long time."
"Shortly after, we cannot wait to do our first full Canadian tour with our friends in Psycroptic. Joining us on that will be Archspire and Visceral Disgorge, so you know every night will be crushing. 2017 is shaping up to be the best year of touring that we've ever done. We've got a few other tricks up our sleeve which we'll announce very soon. Prepare for impact!"
SEEKER has released three videos from the album, "Submit," "Void" and title-track "Loss."
Loss was recorded by Zach Ohren, known for his work with
Chelsea Grin and Fallujah, and the artwork comes in the form of a hand drawn, custom piece by Farron Loathing (Nails, Huntress). Lucien explains, "We've spent nearly three years working on this album and can't wait for everyone to hear it. This is the fastest and most chaotic music that we've ever written."
