Last night, in an incredible surprise twist, The Faceless premiered a new song and announced a tour with After The Burial. The new song was interesting by itself, but adding in After The Burial to the tour made things a lot more interesting considering we weren't sure when the band would be back after the tragic passing of guitarist Justin Lowe.
Here's what the band had to say via Facebook about its decision to hit the road this November.
As you know, we canceled our appearance on the Summer Slaughter tour to spend time with friends and family in an effort to rebuild after the loss of our brother.
Everybody deals with tragedy in their own way, and at their own pace. Each way is unique to that person, but the common goal that all people share is to get back to living a normal life. A normal life to us is being on the road, meeting our fans, and sharing our music with the world.
We're excited to announce this upcoming tour with The Faceless. It represents a huge step forward emotionally for us in the band. We still have the drive and motivation to deliver music to you guys, and we want you all to be able to look to us for strength.
We wouldn't be here without your support, and we want to give it back to you. We love you all, and we'll see you on the road.

That's fantastic that the band is pushing forward and using this as a mechanism to cope with recent events. Here's to a successful, safe and heavy as fuck tour for all the bands involved in this one! Bonus positive thoughts go out to the dudes in After The Burial- a grieving process is still a grieving process and this is a very brave thing for them to do. Get dates here.
