For Edmonton's Fall of Earth, the Road to Purgatory is one that they've decided will take take them across the country. 

Venturing across Canada in support of their sophomore album From the Ashes released in April, this forthcoming tour also welcomes rhythm guitarist Matthew Lindholm and new bassist Myles Packer to replace Aaron Winklmeier,who is on the band's latest album, according to a news release.

The Road to Purgatory Tour will kick off on Sept. 8 in Peace River, Alta., and then head toward British Columbia, and then go east to Halifax and trek across nine provinces for two months of 40-plus performances that will head back west and wrap up in Saskatoon on Nov. 18.

They're at The Queens in dowtown Barrie on Nov. 6.

Fall of Earth has embraced labelling itself as hybrid metal, as its sound is a "contagious mélange of genres, that is continuously being refined," said the release. 

Since writing this second album, Fall of Earth says that they have a better understanding of what they want their music to become and where to steer the direction of their future works. 

From The Ashes was released on April 21 and is available here
