Rock band As Cities Burn is back to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their album Son, I Loved You at Your Darkest, and they also released two new songs for the celebration.

Yesterday they released a video for the song "Prince of Planet Earth," and original front man TJ Bonnette, is back on the mic for the new songs. As Cities Burn will be joined by their friends in the band Emery on tour this summer to celebrate the ten year anniversary of the album.

"Did y'all hear that our old friends Emery are coming on tour with us? HALF of the VIP ticket packages are gone, so if you want in on a limited edition t shirt and poster, now is the time," they wrote on Facebook. "Go to Ascitiesburn.net to purchase and check out our new song while you're there!"

Beginning yesterday at 3pm PST, pre-sale VIP ticket packages at AsCitiesBurn.net became available with general sales starting June 5th.

According to a press release, the new recordings were the result of primary songwriter, Cody Bonnette, wanting to give something new to the fans instead of continuing to fuel As Cities Burn on nostalgia alone. With the intent to keep word of new material completely unknown to the public, Bonnette and drummer Aaron Lunsford holed up in a practice space in Nashville, TN to write new tunes, eventually teaming up with producer J Hall of Franklin, TN to bring the songs to life. As a result of this process, As Cities Burn has broken ground creatively, figuring out a way to draw from a wide array of influences that should appeal to As Cities Burn fans of all varieties.

"Seeing as how As Cities Burn almost broke up a year after Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest was released, it's amazing that ten years later we are able to get back out on the road and celebrate the music that changed our lives forever. Most of all we are excited to reconnect with fans and hang out with old friends. Having two new songs with TJ back doing vocals makes it all that much more exciting," said Bonnette.

It is unclear if the band will be releasing any new music in the future, but Lunsford, drummer turned author, will be releasing a new full length book that chronicles the early days of ACB and the events surrounding SILYAYD.
