Germany-based collective ART AGAINST AGONY announce their new EP titled “Russian Tales“ scheduled for the release on July 22nd. The ensemble of musicians and artists combine different elements; their instrumental music evolves around progressive metal, experimental rock, jazz fusion and avant-garde.
Speaking about the forthcoming EP, the band commented: “The ‘Russian Tales‘ EP gathers all of our experiences from our tour through Russia during the Siberian winter of 2016: Driving 12000km and playing 20 shows in 3 weeks was heaven and hell, with wonderful hospitality & delicious food, marvellous nature & wild animals, but also including insomnia, anxiety & social break ups.”
To coincide with the release of the “Russian Tales” EP, ART AGAINST AGONY will embark on a tour across Russia in late July, followed by dates in Brazil in August. For the full list of dates see below.
“Russian Tales” is available for pre-order from Bandcamp (downloads) and Bigcartel (CDs). A video trailer for the EP can be seen below.
