Origin will release their highly-anticipated new album this year. To prepare fans, the band will embark on “The Space Control Tour 2022″ with co-headliners Misery Index. The 16-date North American trek kicks off on May 6th in Chicago and will make appearances in Toronto, Boston, and Atlanta before the final show in Austin on May 22nd. Joining the bands as special guests is Wolf King.
Guitarist Paul Ryan comments, “2022 is the 25th year of Origin’s existence, and what better way to celebrate than to hit the road with one of our favorite bands and people to share the stage with – none other than the mighty MISERY INDEX! We were on the road when Covid-19 hit and Origin has never gone a full calendar year without a show, let alone the 26 months that we all have suffered during the pandemic! Excited to get the grind out to the masses again and possibly even play some new material as well!!”
Drummer John Longstreth adds: “Origin and MISERY INDEX grew up together! We’ve had the amazing opportunity to share the road and stage with these titans multiple times in our 25-year existence, and we couldn’t be more excited to do it again! As COVID-19 hit at the beginning of our final “UNPARALLELED UNIVERSE” tour, we were one of the final bands forced off the road as the world ended. I am thrilled to report that Origin is back with a new album full of punishing post-apocalyptic new shreds, and we’re set to bring it to the post-apocalyptic world! So take your vitamins, and do your pushups, because we’re all around (covid)19 lbs overweight, and it’s time to trim the fat! Let’s SHRED!!!! See you out there!”
Origin will be touring in support of Unparalleled Universe which was recorded and mixed by longtime producer/engineer Robert Rebeck at Chapman Recording in Lenexa, KS. Mastering was handled by Colin Marston at Menegroth – The Thousand Caves. Watch the music video for “Infinitesimal To The Infinite” here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5mRx_IBKPA
