New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Save Us From The Archon will have a busy summer as they prepare to release their upcoming album, "Melancholia" on August 18th. The response to the first single, "Trancing Nostalgia," has been overwhelming and the band is stoked to announce they will be touring in support of the new record.
Next month, Save Us From The Archon will head out on a national tour with The Ongoing Concept and Eidola. Guitarist Andrew Cresto shared, "We're absolutely elated to be hitting the road in support of our newest record with our friends in Eidola and the Ongoing Concept."
"Melancholia" was inspired by Cresto's personal struggle with depression, but instead of it being a negative, the end result is a "love letter to depression". Musically, the growth Save Us From The Archon has made since their last release is evident. While they continue with the melodic guitars, intense drum patterns and strong bass lines that fans fell in love with, this album has a more mature concept and undertone.
The tour kicks off on August 17th in Denver, CO and wraps up on
September 18th in Salt Lake Ciy, UT. "Melancholia" will be out on August 18th and is available now for pre-order on Bandcamp and Merchbucket.

About Save Us From The Archon
Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, Save Us From The Archon (SUFTA) has sculpted a unique sound that is, at once, aggressive, chaotic, heartfelt, and hypnotic. Fast paced angular progressions are counterbalanced by soothing mellow interludes. The broad dynamics are tied together by their progressive foundation with a distinct melodic sentiment. While SUFTA's compositions nod to influences spanning math rock, metal, and punk, their sound is unmistakable.
On their new album L'Eclisse, one will find no human voice. While many bands depend upon a vocalist to express their creative vision, no words are necessary for SUFTA. Their expressive writing and poignant playing tell a vibrant story all their own.
SUFTA remains true to their DIY ethic on L'Eclisse as they wrote, recorded, and produced the record themselves. But, to further expand upon their vision, they have enlisted help to bring this new offering to life. The record marks their debut for Tragic Hero Records. Anthony Calebretta (Protest the Hero, Intervals) is mixing and mastering.
Andrew Cresto (Guitar),
Nelson Brooks (Guitar), Samantha Zunich (Bass), Devin Greig (Drums) have been playing together for several years and multiple albums, continually exploring their sound and refining their craft. Now, with L'Eclisse, SUFTA presents listeners with a snapshot of their latest evolution.
SUFTA's Tragic Hero debut was released on March 18th, 2016 and hit the Billboard New Artist Chart at Number 45. The band also was featured on Audio Tree which was Zunich's last performance with the band.
In 2017, SUFTA announced their new album, "Melancholia," would be released on August 18th. The record will be the first with bassist Bradley Treen who has been touring with the band since Zunich's departure.
