CAGE ANNOUNCE NOVEMBER LIVE DATES FOR EAST COAST

San Diego-based metallists Cage are set to return on October 30th, with the release of their latest metallic tour de force, ‘Ancient Evil’ (via SMG Records), and a little more than a week later, the band will be hitting the northeast of the U.S. Comprised of Sean “The Hell Destroyer” Peck (vocals), Dave “Conan” Garcia (guitars), Casey “The Sentinel” Trask (guitars), Alex Pickard (bass guitar), and Sean “The Thrash Machine” Elg (drums), Cage's November tour kicks off on the 11th in Williamsburg, NY, and will wrap up on 19th in Patchogue, NY. "Finally we are getting back to the east coast," explains Peck. "It has been long over due. I can't wait to unleash the new material with this new line up which I feel is by far our strongest yet! Power metal freaks mark the date!! It will be great to see all of our friends and fans again out there. The last tour we had on the east coast was mayhem! I expect it to be even crazier this time! We have prepared an extended set infused with speed and screams from beyond the realm of human comprehension!! Metal!!!" For a taster of 'Ancient Evil,' check out the lyric video for the killer composition, "The Procedure,” which can be viewed here: youtube.com/watch?v=_e119tZud1w Based on a horror novel written by lead singer Sean Peck, ‘Ancient Evil’ continues the legacy of Cage as a heavy metal innovator. This nearly 80-minute monstrosity has 19 tracks that combine songs and narrated interludes to forge a unique musical journey that rocks!  Tour Dates:   11/11/15                     Williamsburg NY           Duff's Brooklyn                         ***  11/12/15                     Clifton NJ                     Dingbatz  11/13/15                     Allentown PA               Jabber Jaws  11/14/15                     Elmhurst NY                 Blackthorn   11/15/15                     New Castle DE             JB McGinnes Pub    11/16/15                     New York NY                Three Of Cups                          ***  11/17/15                     Lidenhurst NY              Lindenhurst Village Pub           ***  11/18/15                     Providence RI              Firehouse 13  11/19/15                     Patchogue NY              89 North Music Venue   *** Meet & Greet only - no band performance.

CAGE TO UNLEASH NEW TITLE ANCIENT EVIL ON THE METAL MASSES

San Diego-based metallists Cage are set to return on October 30th, with the release of their latest metallic tour de force, 'Ancient Evil,' which has been prefaced by a lyric video for the killer composition, "The Procedure" (which can be viewed here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e119tZud1w).  "We really love how creepy the video came out, it's like a mini movie almost," explains singer Sean "The Hell Destroyer" Peck. "This song will give people a good idea of what they are in for on this massive, heavy metal, horror story thrill ride!" Rounding out the band are Dave "Conan" Garcia (guitars), Casey "The Sentinel" Trask (guitars), Alex Pickard (bass guitar), and Sean "The Thrash Machine" Elg (drums). Based on a horror novel written by lead singer Sean Peck, 'Ancient Evil' continues the legacy of Cage as a heavy metal innovator. This nearly 80-minute monstrosity has 19 tracks that combine songs and narrated interludes to forge a unique musical journey that rocks!  However, according to Sean, making a concept record work is never an easy task - "With this being our 7th release, we wanted to try our hand at another concept album. We had great success with 'Hell Destroyer,' but doing a scary story type of thing and making the songs catchy and memorable while keeping the listener captivated by the content, is a real challenge."  The story's main character, Elliot Worthington, is played by none other than ex-Iron Maiden frontman Blaze Bayley. "I did not want to do any of the character voices this time, so we got some really great talent to act out the scenes. Blaze did an incredible job. His acting chops were freaking great, I have to say," says Peck. "The writing for this record came together effortlessly even though it was a concept record. It is pretty much just blazing fast the whole way through which is just how I like it!" And soon, metalheads will be able to experience Cage's latest metal masterpiece. 'Ancient Evil' Tracklisting: 1) There Were Others 2) Ancient Evil 3) Behind the Walls of Newgate 4) The Procedure 5) The Appetite 6) Cassandra 7) Blinded By Rage 8) Tell Me Everything 9) The Expedition 10) Beholder 11) I Have Awakened 12) Across The Sea Of Madness 13) To Save Love 14) Christ Protect Me 15) Sinister Six 16) Symphony Of Sin 17) The Antidote 18) Tomorrow Never Came 19) It Can´t Be FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT: cageheavymetal.com facebook.com/cageofficial twitter.com/cageheavymetal swedenmusicgroup.com facebook.com/swedenmusicgroup
