Rikets begin mixing new record & announce summer tour

Rikets have began mixing their new record , All American Death Cult, with Ben Schigel (Chimaira, Walls of Jericho). The record was produced by Eric Delegard (Unloco, Edgewater) & Rikets in Denton, TX at Reel Time Audio. All American Death Cult features the remake of the song "Cry Little Sister", the theme song from the 80's cult classic movie The Lost Boys. The song features guest vocals by the original creator Gerard McMann. Rikets plan to begin shopping for new management and a label for a fall release. A new rough mix of the song "House of Lies" has been added to the bands myspace page (www.myspace.com/rikets).

In other news Rikets have announced the first dates from their summer tour which features appearances by Stemm, Sixstitch, Left 4 Dead, Deadstar Assembly, Straight Line Stitch and more. The tour is also sponsored by Monster Energy Drink, Death Dealer Clothing, Triple Crown Clothing and Virus! Online Magazine.
