For Today guitarist Ryan Leitru stopped by the Guitar World studio to play along to ‘Broken Lens’ on an off day on our last tour. The song is taken from their new album “Wake” which is released on Oct. 2nd. via Nuclear Blast.The video can be watched below.
“Wake” is available on CD as well as on vinyl (black, red) and as digital download.
Commented singer Mattie Montgomery: “Our new song ‘Bitter Roots’ is a dramatic departure from much of what For Today has been known for. We decided to break the mold and simply write what was inside us, without worrying about fitting in a particular genre box. While it’s very different, we love the song, and we’re so excited to share it with the world.”
As previously reported is the official announcement for their previously rumored tour with Fit For A King, Gideon, Silent Planet & Phinehas: Dates and locations are listed below.
The story of For Today remains one of triumph. Breaking out of Iowa is hard enough. When you’re playing heavy music with a Christian message, it’s even harder. Still, the quintet — Mattie Montgomery (lead vocals), Ryan Leitru (lead guitar, vocals), Brandon Leitru (bass), Sam Penner (rhythm guitar), and David Puckett (drums, percussion) — consistently perseveres.
