My Epic have announced a two part concept project. The first EP of the project Ultraviolet will be released on March 30 and you can listen to the brand new song “Of Wilderness” now!
I honestly am always pretty stoked whenever this band releases new music. They are very capable and amazing songwriters.
The “Of Wilderness” track is def mellow and reminds me a bit of later-era Codeseven when they got smoother and melodic but very spacious. The Violence EP is said to be the darkest material from the band yet and will follow Ultraviolet (guys, Ultraviolet was already an awesome Kylesa record, fyi…but not hatin’).
The second part, “Violence”, will be released in late 2018.
Pre-Orders are available now for “Ultraviolet”.

Love this band’s fine sense of musicianship. Quality.

Pre-order now! (Scheduled to ship Feb. 19)
Regardless of anyone’s religious beliefs, this is undoubtedly an awesome metalcore record with some fantastic guitar work, especially. I always have thought this band deserves to be way bigger.

The debut Rival Choir (formerly Mouth Of The South) album “I Believe, Help My Unbelief” will be released on February 5 and pre-orders are available now. Check out all the pre-order bundle options in their online store.
Check out the Rival Choir track “Aftermath” below. It’s a pretty cool first single with a great kind of Deftones/Far reminiscent slower groove in places and a strong vocal presence before going into some Chariot territory with a bang. Dig the new direction.

Mouth Of The South, one of the newer bands on Christian label Facedown Records, have revealed a video for “Good Intentions” from their label debut Struggle Well. The song shows a man gripped in self doubt and loathing who is slowly eroded by dark thoughts that manifest physically. The song is pretty heavy as far as this style of rock n roll/punk influenced metal core goes, without dipping too far into the loose bowels breakdown terrain.
Watch it BELOW.

Facedown‘s perhaps best band Gideon are back with “Survive” featuring Caleb from Beartooth as a guest. It comes from Gideon’s triumphant record Calloused from 2014, a must hear metalcore release that leans hard on hardcore but also has serious groove and low end crunch. Roaring strong, this band is still in it to win it!

War Of Ages have released a dynamic new video for “From Ashes”, perhaps the most anthemic song from the new slab Supreme Chaos. As I hit this up on Youtube I was the 665th viewer, yikes! Though if you think about it, 668 is the real “neighbor of the beast”- considering how street numbers on houses go.
Anyway, this song has my favorite solo/bridge/outro section of any tune of 2014. I was lucky months ago to get an unfinished advance of the track and must’ve listened to that section fifty times. It is awesome how the vocals don’t clutter it up and still raise spirits.
If you are feeling down, like I am big time today, hopefully this will raise your spirits. Great effort from one of the best metalcore bands who really know how to do it right.
We would also like to send out a big Thank You to everyone who already bought a copy and helped make this the most successful War Of Ages release to date. – Facedown/WoA

I’m pleased to announce that Facedown‘s fine feathered faithful folks have put out a free summer sampler featuring various bands.
This was beamed to me from the Mormo-Christ Power Ranger ship of Mosh today. Well, no…I wish. It was just in my inbox from a nice label rep or auto mailer.
You can now download (or stream) our brand new summer sampler featuring brand new music from Colossus, Mouth Of The South and War Of Ages as well as songs from other recent releases like Those Who Fear, My Epic, Everything In Slow Motion, Saving Grace and more! This is a free download so please spread the word to your friends and help us get these songs out to everyone possible.
This is sweeter than a bag of cherries. The New War Of Ages, My Epic and Those Who Fear are more than worth this all by themselves. After this I hope they put out a proper Stryper tribute comp, cuz I love the Yellow & Black Attack, legit. It can counter the weird Sumerian-Core vibes of that weird non pagan witchy enough Florence & The Machine comp, though I am not a Sumerian hater at all.

If you were only allowed to pick one black metal album to hear for the rest of 2019, I would strongly suggest you choose False's Portent. A dizzying leap forward from an already very talented and rightfully well regarded act, it does not take long into ten minute opener "A Victual to Our Dead Selves" for the song to grab your undivided attention and never let go. Dedicated to the memory of several friends, the record is professional, passionate, heartbreaking and exhilarating. "Rime On The Song Of Returning" is an exceptionally poetic ode to natural abandon that seems to question our size in the scope of the march of time. The band have never sounded more precise, empowered and fiery, like there is a fortune teller at band practice urging them to claim destiny's heights. If this album holds significance of metal's future it is one that honors the best of the past while boding very well for the genre's horizons.
