THE BOY WILL DROWN ANNOUNCE FIRST SHOWS OUTSIDE OF UK, REVEAL ALBUM ART

New UK technical death metal sensations THE BOY WILL DROWN have confirmed a small string of shows in mainland Europe with Germany's MINDTRAP.

The shows will be THE BOY WILL DROWN's very first outside of the UK and the band are keen to make an impression at their first shows on foreign soil.

THE BOY WILL DROWN guitarist LIAM KEEL comments:

"We are all looking forward to getting out of the UK for the first time. Playing Europe will be a fuckin' experience. We've been chatting to Mindtrap a bit over the past few weeks and they seem top guys. I know we're looking forward to partying with them, and Ed's looking to sink a few beers. None of us obviously have a CLUE what the crowds are like over there but hopefully they'll be nuts.

"We've got our first gig of the year coming up in early March and we're hoping to blow a few people away and put a stop to a lot of the bitching with our new material from the forthcoming album. We've been practising a lot and we're gunna be tighter, heavier and faster than before... You've been warned!"
