The tour — with support acts ALL THAT REMAINS, UNEARTH and CARNIFEX — will take AS I LAY DYING down south and throughout the Northeast, before making its way west through Canada and wrapping up October 11 in Chico, California. AS I LAY DYING will then end 2010 with shows throughout Europe.

"I'm proud of the mark that all of our bands have made on the modern metal scene and we're finally touring together in one package. I especially can't wait to spend time with our good friends in Unearth since they are long time friends, label mates, and great personalities that never leave a dull moment!"
