New Protest the Hero album & tour dates!

Rody Walker's got a little Captain in him, I see


Well guys, March is shaping up to be one hell of a month for metal. After months of teasing us with, well, teasers, prog heavyweights Protest the Hero have finally announced the title and release date for the follow-up to their widely fapped over 2008 full length Fortress. The new album Scurrilous is set to release on March 22nd through Vagrant Records, and that means there is now a new album coming out every single week of that month (twice in one day at one point actually, as you'll see in the next article). If the aforementioned teasers are any indication, Scurrilous is poised to be just as aneurysm-inducing as their last album, and we here at Mosh Rebellion wouldn't have it any other way.

And as if that's not enough good news for you, there's more! PTH have also announced a full US/Canada tour with Maylene and the Sons of Disaster (meh) and Tesseract (yay) from March to May. Tour dates are as follows:

Sadly, the Philadelphia date falls on a Wednesday, so the chances of me attending the show are slim at best, but that doesn't mean you guys should miss out on this effin' sweet tour. Maybe one of the other writers can go so we don't miss out on a show review *hint hint*. Either way, we'll definitely review Scurrilous after it comes out, so there's that. Leave your thoughts, comments or memories of PTH shows you've seen below, and as always stay tuned, we're just getting started.
