CODY, WYOMING - Independent rock/metal act, Righteous Vendetta, is currently forging the country with Virginia rock quartet, HURT. Checking in from the band's recent stop in San Antonio, Texas, vocalist Ryan Hayes has issued the following statement to fans:

"It has been an honor to share the stage with Smile Empty Soul and HURT for the past month, and we are excited to be spending the following three weeks finishing the tour-dates with HURT. Keep checking our Facebook: www.facebook.com/righteousvendetta for updated shows; we can't wait to see all of you on the road!"

A full list of confirmed tour-dates can be seen below.

For many in the heavy music scene, Righteous Vendetta needs little introduction. With two full-length records under its belt, along with numerous tours totaling over 800 shows worldwide, Righteous Vendetta has amassed fans in the U.S. and abroad.

While trekking the globe, the Wyoming quintet's single, "This Pain," spent 15 weeks in the top 20 on Billboard's Christian Rock chart, achieving commercial success rarely seen by a band that cut its teeth in the hardcore and metal scene.

Righteous Vendetta's latest effort, a self-titled EP, dropped earlier this year, with a third full-length slated to release this summer.
