Prog-rock power trio Rush will release its first new album in five years May 1 and will support the set with a full-scale North American tour this summer.

"Snakes & Arrows" is Rush's first collection of new material since 2002's "Vapor Trails." The band recorded the album last fall and shared production duties with Grammy-winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver). The first single, "Far Cry," is set to hit rock radio in mid-March.

Details about the tour will be announced in the coming weeks, according to a press release. The outing will be Rush's first North American jaunt since the group's 30th anniversary tour in 2004.

Last June, the Canadian rockers released "Rush - Replay x 3," a three-DVD/CD box set comprising footage from three concerts: 1981's "Exit Stage Left," 1984's "Grace Under Pressure" and 1987-88's "A Show of Hands." The DVD is a remastered version of previously available VHS releases from the 1980s.
