We worked extremely hard to make the best HEAVY METAL record we could, and we are all beyond excited for to sink your teeth into this record!!!! We said from the get-go this record is 100% uncompromising Heavy Metal, and now you can hear it for yourselves!!!!”

Chris Broderick (guitars) further adds: “We spent a lot of time and effort on Birth and the Burial to get it to sound as good as it possibly could, and we are not only excited for its release this Friday, August 21st and the fact that everyone can stream it, but also to announce that we will be heading out on tour to support it in October!!! It is one thing to get a CD to sound great, but now we have to live up to that sound live as well, and I know from talking to Shawn, Henry, and Matt that we are going to bring it!!! The tour will be with our Metal Blade record label mates Allegaeon. I urge you to pick up the CD and then come see us live to compare and contrast!”
Allegaeon guitarist Greg Burgess adds: “We’re very excited to be a part of this tour. As a long time Megadeth fan it’s beyond humbling to be on the same bill with Act Of Defiance, let alone coheadlining the tour with them. Fans can expect a very exciting set from us including some brand new songs we will unveil and of course the oldies but goodies. Prepare for a ass load of notes!”
