Plus, Kye Kye teases new merch for winter tour, God’s Love For Hardcore releases 57-track free sampler and Capital Kings snags recognition from iTunes.

August Burns Red will be touring like mad men in the New Year. After three weeks in the United Kingdom, they’ll hit Australia for Soundwave Festival and then head back to the United States for the recently announced Break Down The Walls Tour with Asking Alexandria and We Came As Romans. Check out all the dates here.

Kye Kye will be kicking off their tour with Gungor next Thursday and they’ve got some brand new posters that will be available at the shows.

Battery fans looking for some free music to start the new year should check out God’s Love For Hardcore’s Winter Compilation Volume 1. It contains 57, name-your-price tracks from the likes of Phinehas, Mouth of the South, Blood of the Martyrs and more.

Capital Kings’ self titled album was named as one of the Best of 2013 on iTunes. They also recently wrapped up round three of their remix contest. Fusion’s Matthew Parker was unable to complete the trifecta, but he did finish as runner up.
