Unearth to kick off tour Saturday

Starting May 7, ‘Grave of Opportunity’ from Massachusetts metallers UNEARTH will be available as a downloadable track on the Guitar Hero World Tour. The song is from the band’s latest album, the critically acclaimed The March, which hit streets last October. The song is part of the Ferret Music/Metal Blade Track Pack, which also contains The Devil Wears Prada’s ‘Dez Moines’, and Chimaira’s ‘On Broken Glass’.

Lead guitarist Buz McGrath had this to say about the Guitar Hero release, “Yo! Unearth is jazzed that our song ‘Grave of Opportunity’ will be available for download for Guitar Hero World Tour. It's a kick-ass tune that is wicked fun to play, so start practicing your super awesome Guitar Hero moves. Get ready to feel the burn when ‘Grave of Opportunity’ drops May 7th!”

UNEARTH is gearing up for their upcoming North American tour with Testament and labelmates Lazarus A.D. They’re touring to support The March, which Outburn Magazine called “their most powerful, defiant, and affecting release to date.” Revolver Magazine described The March as “magnificently majestic.” The album debuted at #45 on the Billboard Top 200 upon its release.
