Devin Townsend is pleased to announce a very special European “An Evening With” solo acoustic tour, beginning at the end of March 2019 and running through April.

The intimate evenings will feature Devin performing tracks from across his catalogue, as well as taking part in a Q&A where fans will get to know more about what Devin is up to at this stage in his career and the forthcoming new album “Empath”. This will prove to be a unique & special experience for all in attendance.

Devin comments:

Sliptrick Records are glad to announce that the UK prog metallers Malum Sky have joined the label's roster.

Malum Sky are an eclectic and anthemic progressive metal 5 piece group based in Cardiff, Wales UK. Formed in 2014, the band bring together a broad range of influences and hone them into hard hitting and uplifting mini-masterpieces. Virtuoso guitar work and intricate song structures combined with hard hitting rhythmic hooks are topped off by an emotive and intense vocal delivery. The songs are enhanced further by a high energy live show delivered with a passion and precision befitting a band working in the “progressive” genre.

Montreal prog quartet Fractal Cypher are getting ready to release their mini-album “Prelude to an Impending Outcome” in November and have just unveiled the artwork and the track listing.

This 4 song mini-album promises to be a roller coaster of genres across completely different sounding songs with intimate lyrics influenced by personal experiences.

On December 13th, 2017, the worldwide metal community mourned the passing of a truly unique voice, an extremely gifted songwriter, and above all a wonderful human being, that will be dearly missed: Warrel Dane, who died of a heart attack during the recordings of his second solo album in São Paulo, Brazil.
