Sumerian Records is celebrating 10 years as a label in 2016 and they are doing so in style, just announced a 10-year anniversary tour with Born Of Osiris, Veil Of Maya, After The Burial, ERRA and Bad Omens heading out across North America.
Founder Ash Avildsen had this to say about the tour:
“Born of Osiris, Veil Of Maya and After The Burial have all played a crucial role in the new wave of progressive, heavy music and in the pedigree of Sumerian. They are some of the most genuine, hard-working and talented musicians I have had the privilege to work with. I vividly remember first seeing all three of them play together at a tiny legion hall in a small town in Illinois when Sumerian was less than a year old and they were all unsigned.
I can proudly say that without BOO, VOM and ATB together on the label, Sumerian would not have become the entity it is today. I am honored to have this midwest menagerie be carrying the 10 Year Tour and excited for our new comers in ERRA and Bad Omens. Thank you to all the fans who support the bands and the music. Without you, none of this would be possible. See you in the pit.”
