NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Heavy Metal quintet Unearth announced a very special “fly-in” contest centered around the October 30 NYC live date of its recently announced U.S. headlining tour and new album, ‘The March,’ which will be available on October 14 via Metal Blade Records.
One lucky fan of the band will win two roundtrip tickets to NYC and two nights of hotel accommodations as well as a pair of tickets to the show, the opportunity to enjoy dinner with the band previous to its live performance at The Fillmore at Irving Plaza that evening and the special chance to announce Unearth from the stage in front of a sold out crowd. The contest winner will also receive a slew of additional premiums including gratis from Ibanez, Metal Edge Magazine, Metal Blade Records, Pitchfork NY Clothing and Xbox 360. To register, fans should visit the contest landing page at this location.
The Unearth tour will kick off on October 1 in Baltimore, MD. Produced by Live Nation and presented by tour sponsors Metal Edge Magazine, The Gauntlet, and Ibanez Guitars, the scheduled four week, 26 city tour will feature support from Protest the Hero, The Acacia Strain, Whitechapel and Gwen Stacy.
The March was recorded at both MA’s System Recording Studios and Zing Studios with producer Adam Dutkiewicz. The album is said to feature Unearth’s “most dynamic material to date,” combining strong tension and release, abundant guitar solos and a bulldozing power-groove. The brand new song “My Will Be Done” has been posted online and can be head now. In addition to hearing the band’s new track in advance of the album’s release, fans can also access special pre-order packages that feature CD / concert ticket combos, meet and greet opportunities and much more.
On the topic of the new album, Unearth front man Trevor Phipps states, “The March" symbolizes both the evil and hopeful sides of humanity. The Evil: With the constant balancing act of power within government, religion and our financial institutions, there lies the chance of those most hungry for power to alter and restrict our freedoms for their gain. The Hopeful: This represents the faith in mankind as the most powerful force on the planet. If we come together and do not fight over religion, class and borders then we hold the key to a peaceful world. There are two possible futures in store; either a March of power and greed or a March of a unified human race.”
