Neuraxis posts new track

Brian Shultz on 5/30/08 @ 4:49 PM

Melodic tech/death-metal act Neuraxis have unveiled a new song from their upcoming full-length, The Thin Line Between. Titled "Darkness Prevails," you can scope it on their MySpace page.

The Thin Line Between is the band's debut for Prosthetic, following up last year's live album, Live Progression (Galy) and 2005's Trilateral Progression (Willowtip). It's due to drop July 22.

While we're at it, the band has some tour dates coming up as well. Unfortunately, I don't think they're actually playing at a Chili's, but how rad would that be?
