The Veer Union announces tour and set to release Deluxe Edition of Divide The Blackened Sky

April 9, 2014

The Veer Union are set to release a Deluxe Edition of “Divide The Blackened Sky” which will include three new songs and re-mastered tracks. The new album is set to release on June 10, 2014 through Pavement Entertainment and distributed by MRI/Sony RED. Frontman Crispin Earl gives us his take on the album,“Divide The Blackened Sky, is a much darker and heavier effort than our previous works. It depicts all the hard times we have been through over the last couple of years”. Also The Veer Union has announced they will be heading out on tour in May for the “Beyond The Blackened Sky Tour” and will include Righteous Vendetta, Blacklite District and Black Oxygen. The tour is set to start off on May 27th with the first show at The Roxy in British Colombia. Stay tuned for more tour dates to be announced.     We are excited to see The Veer Union back out on tour and have been long time supporters of them since first seeing them in 2009 with Puddle of Mudd and Burn Halo.
