Metal Riot

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.

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.

War of Ages will be heading out this spring for their first headlining tour of 2015. They’re teaming up with Dream Beard brand, Phinehas, and Death of An Era to bring you the Supreme Chaos US tour! New Noise Magazine is a sponsor. The tour kicks off in WoA’s hometown (Erie, PA!) and treks across the US to Pomona, CA just in time for War of Ages to play Facedown Fest.

The recent War Of Ages record Supreme Chaos is one of their finest outings and a surefire way to stay engaged with modern metal that has a point.

God damn, the new Martyrdöd is good. Hey, that shark picture is awesome!

Like, #777!

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.

Free Facedown Summer Sampler

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.

I’m becoming a pretty avid fan of My Epic, the most forward thinking band on the Christian label Facedown Records roster. I really love their guitar parts. Now word of a limited re-edition of their 201o breakthrough Yet in cream vinyl has hit the streets.

Via Facedown:

 The highly anticipated vinyl release of My Epic “Yet” is available now for pre-orders, exclusively in our online store.  It’s being pressed on cream vinyl and is limited to just 500 copies.

Two brand new My Epic shirts are also available to pre-order along with the LP, so make sure to check those out as well.

Click HERE to revisit my favorite track from the record, the spacious and killer “Author”. Whatever your denomination or lack thereof, this is great music.
