After The Burial explains decision to resume touring

Last night, The Faceless announced that they'd be touring North America this fall with After The Burial, Rings of Saturn, and Toothgrinder. Notably, this will be After The Burial's first shows since the tragic passing of guitar player Justin Lowe this past summer. As such, when the new tour was announced, After The Burial issued the following statement:

"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."
