Derelict Bring the Metal Across Canada, Blog About It on Exclaim.ca

BY Greg PrattPublished May 7, 2010

Montreal death/thrash metallers Derelict have announced tour dates that will take them from Ontario to BC and back in May and June, and an Exclaim!-hosted blog that will keep fans posted on all the action as it goes down.

The band are hitting the road on what they've dubbed the Northern Shores Tour in support of their second album, 2009's Unspoken Words, which was released on Year of the Sun Records. The tour plays Thunder Bay, ON tonight (May 7), and winds down in Brantford, ON, on June 12. The full schedule is below.

And don't sweat it, all you Quebec longhairs who are upset the tour is conspicuously skipping over the band's home province: Derelict already have a few post-tour Quebec dates confirmed for July and August, which are below as well.

As for the tour blog, check it out here. You can read all about death metal dudes and old ladies getting into yelling matches, songs called "Lithification" and other hilariously metal anecdotes. And that's all on the first day!
