BRAND NEW SIN To Tour With Black Label Society
First, they were black and blue. Now, they’re back in Black.
To cap off a tremendous 2005 that has also seen the group tour alongside Motorhead, Corrosion of Conformity, Zeke, Life of Agony and Scum of the Earth, the Syracuse-based hard rock quintet BRAND NEW SIN have just secured the direct support slot on the upcoming Black Label Society tour, which kicks off in St. Petersburg, Fla. on Oct. 14. This five-week, major market trek will coincide with the release of their new video for upcoming single “Days Are Numbered,” shot by acclaimed director Dale Resteghini (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed).
BRAND NEW SIN - who recently headlined the Syracruise bike rally (“Central New York’s largest annual motorcycle event”) in their hometown - are no strangers to Black Label Society, who are currently playing to thousands of fans each night on the main stage of Ozzfest. The group played nine shows with Zakk Wylde’s band of SDMF’s three years ago in support of their self-titled debut, including an infamous Detroit gig at which Black Label Society filmed its first live DVD - a show at which the crowd depleted the venue’s entire beer supply.
“We’re happy to be going back out with Black Label,” says BRAND NEW SIN front man Joe Altier. “The last time around, we were out for only two weeks. Our bands fit perfectly together, and this is a great chance for us to take it around the entire country.”
BRAND NEW SIN is currently headlining the Revolver magazine-sponsored Summer of Rock tour alongside Dog Faced Gods and Supagroup in support of Recipe For Disaster, their critically acclaimed new album. The tour will be followed by a short trek with Life of Agony, who are currently headlining the Gigantour second stage. Meanwhile, their video for lead Recipe single “Black And Blue,” also shot by Resteghini, is currently in heavy rotation on Metal Asylum and Headbangers Ball; it has also been posted online at the location below.

“Bludgeoning riffs and squealing leads are the stuff of which BRAND NEW SIN is made.”
-- Metal Edge
“Recipe For Disaster is everything a pure hard rock album should be.”
--New Orleans News Star
