AUROCH Announce Canadian Tour Dates + Free Download
Vancouver death metallers Auroch has announced they will be kicking of their Western Canadian Tour on August 11th till August 28th along with a scheduled performance at the third annual SFM Fest in Toronto on September 3, 2011 alongside Mexican metallers Morbosidad.
“We are very excited to get back on the road, play these killer festivals and showcase our material from the upcoming record to our Canadian fans. Hope to see some old faces, new fans and of course plenty of banging heads and horns held high. We’ve got some surprises in store.” commented Auroch vocalist Cuillen Sander
In addition, Auroch is giving fans a free download of their latest track “Astral King” at the following link – http://auroch1.bandcamp.com/track/astral-king
About: Ceremonially conjured a few years back from Vancouvers underground, Auroch blends elements of brutal death metal, blasting black metal and grindcore with progressive elements of melodic thrash metal to create a unique occult sound. Rounded out with a huge variety of vocals, ranging from depraved low pitched, berzerk speed growls and chaotic shrieking to soaring clean vocaled melodies and classic falsettos, it is truely a range never before heard. Through raging brutality and contemplative progressions, Auroch seeks to evoke the seal of the old one!

Bio:
Socially conscious, lyrically poetic, rife with apocalyptic symbolism; All Else Fails is poised to take our world by storm. Playing an aggressively dark blend of Punk, Metal, and Rock, this well established Edmonton based band breaks the traditional ideals of their genre by producing music infused with experimental elements, incorporating Classical music, Electronica influenced synth lines, and spoken word sampling. This is metal for a new audience, one that’s ready for what’s beyond the ordinary.
Their inspired high-energy live show sets them apart from their peers, often drawing comparisons to The Holly Springs Disaster and Killswitch Engage.
The band’s unique sound has won them acclamation and fans from across Canada and around the globe. Using intricate guitar riffs and meaningful lyrics delivered with powerful vocals, they draw their listeners in, and then blast them with full frontal force!
The band has played with major touring acts such as Fear Factory, City of Fire, 3 Inches of Blood, Threat Signal, Decapitated, Suffocation, and Arise & Ruin, as well as earning a spot playing the Ernie Ball stage on the 2009 Vans Warped Tour that featured Bad Religion, Alexisonfire, NOFX, Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, and more.
On the local circuit via their indie label Suicidal Bride Records, All Else Fails frequently shares the stage with some of Canada’s top touring indie acts such as Ninjaspy, Endast, Quartered, Stella, Dead Jesus, Fattooth, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Submerge the Sky, Without Mercy, and more.
AEF have several tours under their belt including a 2009 Cross Canada tour, western Canada in June of 2010, and coast to coast Canadian tour again in September of 2010 which saw them placed on not just one showcase at Indie Week in Toronto, but so impressing organizers of the event that they received an invitation to play a second showcase that week.
2011 is a year full of promise for the band with an aggressive plan to increase touring, building on the wave of new fans that were created on previous tours, as well as new recordings and a music video. All Else Fails will be reaching beyond borders this year, ready to set the world in flames!
