Mouth of the Architect Unveil New EP, Launch Euro Tour
Somewhere after the release of their first full-length, Time and Withering, I lost track of Dayton, Ohio‘s Mouth of the Architect. They put out a split with Kenoma, two more LPs and apparently now they have a new EP forthcoming, so I’ve got my work cut out for me catching up. A good place to start might be the 013 Popcentrum, where they’ll be launching their European tour at the Roadburn festival tomorrow. See you at the merch table, guys. I’ll be the one handing out Obelisk business cards.
The PR wire has the goods on the new EP and tour dates. Dig:
Ohio‘s metalgaze magicians Mouth of the Architect break the silence in their release schedule since 2008’s critically acclaimed 
full-length Quietly with a monstrous new EP, The Violence Beneath.
To be released on April 27th, the four tracks on this behemoth mini-release encompass over 32 minutes of patented Mouth of the Architect intensity. The band bring a slightly more metallic approach to some of the material, yet still bridge their cavernous buildups with beautiful, spiritual passages. The Violence Beneath is a multi-faced yet cohesive release, showcasing the band forging new paths artistically, and packs enough punch to tide us over until the next full-length.
