Mancunian progressive death metallers Betraeus announce release party and full UK tour to support their incredible debut EP, 'Towards The Sun', out on 14 November via Siege of Amida Records.
The EP coincides with the band's much anticipated video to the title track, and to further wet appetites they have released some insightful behind the scenes footage. Check out the raw sets, props, hilarity and hard work from the band and director Tom Bohan that make up the awesome video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXfHJfkW2s0

Commenting on the EP party and tour, frontman Chris Sykes says:

For those of you who live elsewhere in the UK be sure to check us out at one of our dates in December as it's always been Betraeus's ambition to play as many towns and cities as possible, so your going to get a very special show!
