Trap Them kick off a European tour on Friday April 1st, supporting Rotten Sound, alongside Gaza, The Kandidate, and Haust. The band will have their new release, Darker Handcraft, on clear vinyl, exclusively for this tour. Trap Them have posted a tour diary of their recent trek to SxSW in Austin along with The Red Chord and Gaza.

Darker Handcraft was released in North America on vinyl on March 1st, and on CD and digital on March 15th. Due to popular demand, the vinyl is currently being repressed on black, a transparent green, and on a red and yellow mixed wax; the green and red/yellow mix are limited to 100 copies each. Pre-order for this pressing, as well as exclusive T-shirts, and the CD, are available at the official Prosthetic Webshop.

We caught up with Ryan McKenney last September as Trap Them was tracking Darker Handcraft at God City Studios and we recently ran an in-depth review of Darker Handcraft, so be sure to check those out!

Trap Them recorded Darker Handcraft at Godcity Studio with Kurt Ballou (Converge, Disfear, Black Breath). The album artwork and layout was done by Justin Bartlett (Sunn 0))), The Funeral Pyre).
