STRAPPING YOUNG LAD: OZZFEST 'Off' Dates Announced

June 21, 2006

Canadian extremists STRAPPING YOUNG LAD have just announced a slew of major Ozzfest "off" dates with such heralded acts as HATEBREED and UNEARTH, among others. The group have returned with "The New Black", a stunningly well-defined and more diverse effort that is soon to be a landmark in the epic pantheon of heavy metal. The much-anticipated new album is set for a July 11 release via Century Media Records.

STRAPPING YOUNG LAD recently shot a new video for the track "Wrong Side" with renowned director David Brodsky (GOD FORBID, THE RED CHORD). Look for the clip to make its Fuse and MTV2 debut late next month. A full-length MP3 of the new song "You Suck" is available for download at this location.

Century Media Records has just re-released STRAPPING YOUNG LAD's 1995 debut album, "Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing". The re-issue features a re-mastered version of this classic debut, four bonus tracks, the "S.Y.L." video and a 12-page booklet with extended liner notes from Devin himself.
