"This may be the most consistent metalcore album released this year."
- New Noise Magazine

AFFIANCE are excited to announce their upcoming headline run "Blackout Pt 2 (The Road To Riff City) Tour" with special guests Phinehas and Kingdom Of Giants! The tour kicks off January 7th and the band will be hitting Canada and some cities they have not been to in a while. Singer Dennis Tvrdik commented, "Excited to be playing with our friends in Phinehas and Kingdom of Giants again. It's been a year since we played the West Coast so it's good to get back out there. Canada will be both amazing and freezing... Ha Ha."

AFFIANCE celebrated their first Billboard Top 200 debut recently as their new album "Blackout" on Bullet Tooth landed at #163! They just got off the road with Miss May I and their new music video for "FIRE!" has been garnering ALOT of attention. You REALLY need to watch this one to believe it as they have done something no band has ever done. Go watch and find out! It's intense and guitarist and songwriter Brett Wondrak said, "Our excitement about releasing this music video has been burning us up inside. We really wanted to turn up the heat on what is expected in music videos today. It will light a new fire in the hearts of our fans and definitely will not go up in smoke to people who are just discovering us. We believe it will ignite our careers."

"Blackout" is available now on CD at Best Buy, Amazon, FYE, and MerchNow, downloadable at iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, BandCamp, and streaming at YouTube Spotify and Rdio.

AFFIANCE is an American Metal Band from Cleveland, OH. Reigning in the powerful midwest attitude, AFFIANCE combines elements that tear from the sleeve of metal legends with powerful guitar riffs and soaring vocals. Since starting their touring career in 2010, the band has completed many North American, European, and UK tours. Most recently, the band wrapped up a full US tour with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and another with PROTEST THE HERO, as well as their first international headliner in South Africa.

Singer Dennis Tvrdik commented, “We are still a relatively small band in a very big metal world and we hope to change that with this album. BLACKOUT is a bit darker than our previous albums, and I think it’s time for heavy music with melodies to make its presence known in American metal culture. I am proud to be a part of that.”

Brett Wondrak (Guitar) commented on the new album, “Blackout is another step forward for us. We wrote this album to give our fans everything they expect from us and more. All the catchy guitar licks, crushing breakdowns, shredding solos, and memorable high notes that Dennis is so well known for. These are some of the best songs we've ever written. This has been a great year for metal. “Blackout" will be no exception."

AFFIANCE have recently wrapped up North American and European tours with Killswitch Engage, Protest The Hero, The Word Alive, Memphis May Fire, Darkest Hour, Dance Gavin Dance, Miss May I, The Color Morale, and Stray From The Path.
