Milan, Italy-November 7th, 2014-Destragewill begin their European tour withProtest the Hero,The Faceless, andThe Contortionistin one week in Leipzig, Germany. AsDestragefans are aware, the band is infamous for creatingentertaining tour videos, and this tour will be no exception! The band has teamed up with Bode Music Gear (https://www.bodesrl.it) to produce new tour video episodes for the Bode Music Gear youtube channel,youtube.com/bodesrl. What will make these videos exciting? Challenges.Destragewill be putting band members to the test in completely pointless and trivial challenges: who can fit the most of something in their mouth, pushups, jumping over cars, who can do the most shots, who can break the most guitar strings, etc. What the band will end up with after a few weeks on tour, we can merely venture to guess, but given the bands irreverent and absurd track record, it's a guaranteed good time!

Destragehave partnered with Sheet Happens Publishing to release a new guitar transcription book! "Are You Kidding Me? No. The complete guitar transcription" is scheduled to be released this month whileDestrageis on tour. The book will be available at the band's merch booth throughout the tour, as well as onsheethappenspublishing.com. The printed book is availableHEREand the digital version is availableHERE!

In other news,Destrageguitarists Matteo Di Gioia and Ralph Salati have released a new and in depth guitar tutorial for "My Green Neighbour" on theguitartutorials.ityoutube channel. Brush up on your sweep picking and learn how to play the songHERE.

Matteo Di Gioia comments; "These tabs were written by us. There is no deviation herein. Following Luke and Tim's lovely suggestions, we put down every single note the way we play it. We divided the tracks the way we do while playing live and avoided loops and doubling sections as much as possible. We tried to explain as in depth as possible to deliver you an honest, clear, and enjoyable reading experience."

Destrage's Metal Blade Records debut, "Are You Kidding Me? No." was released in March 2014.
