BUFFALO-based band Every Time I Die have announced a December tour following the release of their new album, Low Teens.

On their eighth full-length effort, vocalist Keith Buckley, guitarists Andy Williams and Jordan Buckley, drummer Daniel Davison, and bassist Steve Micciche deliver an album inspired by a moment of crisis.

Recorded with producer/engineer Will Putney (Acacia Strain, Body Count, Exhumed), Low Teens was largely shaped by an experience that took place last December. While on tour in Toronto, Buckley got a call that his wife had been sent to the hospital with a life-threatening pregnancy complication, and immediately raced home to be by her side.

“I was facing death, not in a symbolic sort of ‘cyclical change’ metaphor, but literally,” Buckley recalls.

Although both wife and daughter survived, the moment of crisis had a lasting impact and played a major role in the making of Low Teens.

“It was abject helplessness, and that entirely new feeling opened up a lot of questions about place and purpose,” Buckley says of writing for the album.

Hear music from the new album when Every Time I Die head to The Globe, Cardiff on December 12.
