Per this new newsletter, Asymmetry drops in the US on August 6th (physical) and July 23rd (digital).

Preorder 

Well, some of you didn't believe us when we said there would be news on the release of Asymmetry in North America soon, but here it is! Our new friends at Density Records have been hard at work and we're happy to confirm that you can pre-order Asymmetry in North America. Right now! Asymmetry will be released in the U.S. on August 6, 2013 via Density Records and will be available digitally from July 23, 2013.

For those who don't know, Density Records are part of the Workhorse Records Group and the extended Vagrant Records family, and have been friends of Team Vool for a while. We hung with them at one of our LA shows a few years ago and their passion for the band and for music in general was obvious. The rule with these things is this: you always want to sign with a label whose back catalogue you want to steal! Here's hoping we are good for some freebies now...

You can pre-order the Deluxe (CD version) of Asymmetry in North America from the Workhorse Music webstore here. The pre-order includes the 90-minute live DVD 'Live at the Forum' featuring a full concert from The Forum in Melbourne, Australia.

The album will also available for pre-order from US iTunes beginning Tuesday July 2 - when you pre-order the album, the new single “We Are” will download immediately.
The Asymmetry World Tour begins  in Australia in late July and moves on to Europe in October. North Amercian tour plans will be revealed soon!
 
Speaking of Europe, A bunch of new European shows have been announced, and just so you know tickets are flying out of the door for everywhere so if you are planning on coming  - get onto it sooner rather than later. Details of the whole tour are here

We are also really excited to be adding three more shows to the next tour in Europe with dates in Norway, Sweden & Denmark:

Sydney friends if your work or home radio is tuned into Triple M and you like the idea of us infiltrating their airwaves, Triple M Sydney are asking what you think of our first single "We Are". If you feel like telling them you can do it here

And lastly, now that we have entered the internet age (i.e have a website that works nearly all of the time), we're in the process of updating our subscriber list. That means you lot! We'd really like to know what part of the world you're from, so we can keep you up to date on all the latest news specific to your country. Please click here to update your details - it only takes a second!

 
Over and out!

I dig the video/1st single below "We Are." The jury will still be out with this record until I hear it with headphones as the songs from Sound Awake sounded great per radio streams, and then the terrible mix from the cymbals was noticed with headphones and my opinion totally changed about those songs and the album.

But beyond that issue, I can't help but be rather jazzed to hear this album. Cool cover art fwiw.

July 19th is when it drops down under. North America?

This expansive new work was designed in the band’s Perth studio over two years, before in late 2012, the Karnivool caravan headed across the continent to bunker down with legendary producer, Nick DiDia (Rage Against The Machine, Mastodon) at Byron Bay’s Studios 301
