Before we kicked things into high gear with Amplified, we ran a column called “Unsigned & Streamed,” and one of the bands we highlighted was a DC-based progressive metal band, Wings Denied. The band have toured steadily since then, so it’s no surprise that they’re headed back out on the road in 2015. The “Progressive Winter 2015” tour will be co-headlined by Wings Denied along with Cryptodira. Both of the  band will be debuting new material during the run, which will start in the midwest and make its way to the East Coast, ending up in Wings Denied’s hometown of DC.
