Montreal, Canada (Top40 Charts/ Jon Asher) - It's the luck of the Irish as metal transplants CHOSEN announce their 2009 Canadian Tour dates that will see them trek from their adopted home of Vancouver, Canada and cross the country to return to their native Ireland to start on production of their upcoming debut album.
CHOSEN moved to Vancouver in search of vocalist John Matter to add to their fusing element of extreme metal and crushing heaviness. With all band mates in line, CHOSEN are hitting the road to celebrate the country that has embraced them since 2007.
