BY Gregory AdamsPublished Mar 6, 2013

Vegan straight-edge grinders Dead in the Dirt jumped aboard the good ship Southern Lord back in 2011 to deliver their brutally blitzkrieged Fear 7-inch, but new tunes from the Atlanta act are apparently on the way.

A spring tour announcement on Southern Lord's Facebook page confirms that Dead in the Dirt's full-length debut will arrive sometime later this year, though the label has yet to release any details beyond that.

As for the trip, it kicks off May 5 in Nashville and will feature one up-north appearance at Winnipeg's Negative Space venue on May 13. You can catch the rest of the details down below.

In other Southern Lord news, the imprint revealed its latest signing today (March 6): Florida's Centuries. The West Palm beach band will record their Southern Lord debut at Greensboro, NC studio Legitimate Business with Kris Hilbert following some U.S. dates later this month.
