Unearth just came off of the biggest tour, this summer's Ozzfest 2004- "I must admit that we learned a lot watching the other headline bands this summer, Ozzfest felt like the proving ground for us and I am confident that we are a better band from the Ozzfest experience and are now a more professional career band. Expect to see UNEARTH at its best we will play our hardest every night." Vocalist Trevor Phipps is psyched by the lineup and the fact that the band are headlining a club tour, " I am stoked about this tour package, I will get to watch three amazing bands every night; I am also thrilled to play small clubs again - this is where we come from."

It will be available later this year or early next year on Magna Carta Records. Oz's critically-acclaimed live record, "Oz Live" is available on OzNoy.com.

A monster player who combines the ability of Danny Gatton with the imagination of Jeff Beck, Noy is also a master of effects (wah-wah, octaver, tremolo) that radically change the tones and textures of his guitar attack from track to track."
