TOUR DATES ADDED, INCLUDING STINT WITH HINDER
JUNE 23, 2011 -- The
video for “White Rabbit,” the first single from EGYPT
CENTRAL’s critically acclaimed album of the same name, will
make its TV premiere on MTV2 today. The Mason Dixon-directed clip
was shot in Nashville and can be seen here: http://www.mtv.com/videos/egypt-central/663970/white-rabbit.jhtml#artist=2546515.
WHITE RABBIT
was released May 31 on Fat Lady Music/ILG and debuted on SoundScan’s
“Current Hard Music Albums” chart at #5 and at #78 on
Billboard’s “Top 200 Albums” chart.
The song is quickly
rising up the Active Rock Radio chart, where it currently sits at
#18. It’s being spinned on over 60 stations nationwide, including
SiriusXM’s “Octane,” WXTB (Tampa), KUPD (Phoenix)
and WWBN (Flint).
Rave reviews have been
pouring in, including:
“…the album
doesn’t have any letdowns. Fans already won over by Egypt
Central’s previous record will recognize the band’s
original sound here, and new listeners will be taken a wild ride
to a strange, dark wonderland and back. Follow the White Rabbit.”
-- Revolver
“Egypt Central
have managed to take the best qualities of turn-of-the-century nu-metal,
update them for the modern world and add a dark melodic sense to
create a sound that's sinisterly catchy.” –
