Deafheaven headlining tour 2013

Deafheaven‘s upcoming album Sunbather is on my most anticipated list. From the samples I’ve heard, and the first single, it’s going to be better than the already great Roads To Judah. Anyways, today I’m happy to announce that the band will be doing a tour in support of the album, which comes out June 11th on Deathwish Inc. Of course they only make one Florida stop, on the same day of the Intronaut show. However, I’ve seen Intronaut headline before, so I’m going to be seeing this one. Anyways, check out the dates (with Marriages as support) after the jump, and listen to their single ‘Dream House’ here!

Touche Amore Are In The Studio

Touche Amore are one of the best new bands to come around. Their fusion of hardcore music with almost pop guitar melodies is really awesome, and I especially dug their recent split with Pianos Become The Teeth when they took a more post-rock turn. It really boded well for them, and as of today, the band are already done tracking drums for the newest record, set to be released this fall via Deathwish Inc. I’ll tell you, it’s going to be a big year for Deathwish: Touche Amore, Deafheaven, Harms Way, Young And In The Way and possibly even Trap Them all have records set to come out, and I’m stoked for all of them, even more so because I know that Deathwish is a killer label who always puts out quality releases. Watch the teaser video below and keep up with their Facebook, and we’ll have more news as it comes!

Deafheaven Give Us A Studio Video

Deafheaven - Sunbather

Sunbather is one of my mot anticipated releases. Deafheaven just have a way that makes their special brand of black metal so emotive and feel so warm and open rather than icy and cold like most black metal does. With the June 11th release date slowly approaching, it was only a matter of time before a single or video was released, as lo and behold, we got a studio video!

Deafheaven Unveil Cover Art, Track Listing, & Release Date for ‘Sunbather’

Deafheaven - Sunbather

Deafheaven are one of the better USBM bands out there. Just listen to their demo tape as well as their full length Roads To Judah and you’ll understand why. A bunch of us here are really stoked on their upcoming album, and today they release the cover art, the track listing, and the release date. The cover is probably going to be my favorite cover of the year; its simplicity is what gets me, and I like it. I’m also stoked the album is going to be 7 songs long, because that means it will be around an hour in length, and I think this is great since Roads to Judah was over too quickly.

[Epitaph Records]

Every now and then there’s a particular album on the horizon that is long-awaited and has fans frothing at the mouth (or more importantly the ears) for the chance to hear it. Now while this year has produced quite a few of those albums, the one that has been on my radar comes from the legendary hardcore band Converge. Now for those familiar with the band’s blend of hardcore and punk, a sound that is both chaotic and straight from the heart, it’s hard to be disappointed by any of their releases, both past and present. And after 2009′s Axe To Fall, which sounded like the band cranked their amps to eleven, all that came to mind was, “How are they going to top this?”. Well, three years have passed since then, and with only a handful of singles that merely held the fans at bay, Converge are finally set to release their eighth full-length album, the highly anticipated, All We Love We Leave Behind. And after such a long wait, all that’s left to wonder is… Will this be an album fans love or will they simply leave it behind? View Full Article »

Get Stoked for Converge’s Thousands of Miles Between Us DVD

Filed Under: Upcoming releases, Video

May.23, 2012

So Converge have been pretty damn active this year. With a full length in the works, Jacob Bannon’s ambitious art project and some tours/festivals going on this year, it is hard to see these guys slowing down at all – ever (especially because some of them are pushing 40!). So, in an effort to spoil the fans, Converge recently announced a live DVD called Thousands Of Miles Between Us.

The trailer features some very raw footage of the band just going nuts. It also displays Nate Newton’s proficiency as a bassist. I don’t really know what he is doing (or what is going on for that matter), but what I’m hearing sounds about right and as a newcomer to the band, I’m just soaking it all up.

The DVD is supposed to features the band’s endeavors on a global scale, documenting tours from Europe, the US and Japan. Converge frontman Jacob Bannon’s label Deathwish Inc. have also told us that we will get “some sets in their entirety”. Looks like Converge are really outdoing themselves.

We don’t have a release date, but from what I can tell we should be expecting it sometime this year. This is shaping up to be a great year for all of those dedicated Converge fans!

[Deathwish Inc.]

Forming from the ashes of two other bands and only being around since 2002, Belgian rockers Rise and Fall have quickly become one of the most successful and hard hitting bands in the European hardcore/punk/metal scene, as well as gaining popularity here in the states. Already having a well established discography under their belts, which includes three full-lengths, splits and 7″s, Rise and Fall return after 3 years to give us the loudest and heaviest album of their career, the frenzied and razor sharp sounding, Faith.

Converge Offer Small Glimpse Into Recording Of New Album

Filed Under: Upcoming releases, Video

Feb.20, 2012

That’s Converge‘s Jacob Bannon making, as my mother would say, “an awful lot of noise.” Yup.

So it looks like the band’s new record – the follow up to 2009′s seminal Axe To Fall – is coming along. If they’re onto vocals then I guess they must be nearly done recording, which is excellent. This would be evident and smart people agree.

Converge have been around for quite a while – twenty-two years now – and even when they make a ‘dud’ it still blows out a lot of other bands, so I’m pretty confident in saying that this one is going to be pretty damn good. When they start cranking out promotional material you will DEFINITELY be hearing about it from us.

We’re expecting a Q3, maybe Q4 release, but it will definitely be affiliated with Deathwish Inc. in some way.

Narrows Are ‘TB Positive‘

Filed Under: Upcoming releases, Video

Feb.14, 2012

We’ve spoken about internationally-based hardcore group Narrows only a few times in the past, but in the run up to the launch of their new album Painted, I’m getting more and more excited, so you can expect more words in between now and the as-yet unannounced release date.

The latest update it the release of a video over at Rock Sound (Narrows are their band of the week) for the track ‘TB Positive‘. It’s short, sweet, and damn gritty – surely what you’d expect from the ex-vocalist of Botch and his cohorts, which include ex-These Arms Are Snakes guitarist Ryan Frederiksen and Jodie Cox of British post-hardcore outfit Tropics.

The album was mostly recorded by Matt Bayles, who has also worked with the likes of Mastodon, ISIS and Minus The Bear, and it will clock in at a frantic 27 minutes or so. I cannot wait.

Painted is expected out in the coming months via Deathwish.

Converge Announce Spring Headlining Tour With Loma Prieta, Git Some, And Others

Filed Under: Tours and Rumors of Tours

Feb.03, 2012

Hardcore legends Converge are known to be recording the follow up to their 2009 album Axe To Fall as we speak, but they’ve also dialled up the workload by announcing a U.S. headlining tour for this spring (yes, another one, you lucky scrotes!).

They’ll be joined by the excellent Loma Prieta and the admittedly unfamiliar Git Some for most of the tour, with various other knowns and unknowns, most notably Deafheaven and Pianos Become The Teeth.

04/01 Providence, RI – The Met (feat. Deafheaven, Morne)
04/02 Baltimore, MD – The Ottobar (feat. Regents)
04/03 Syracuse, NY – Lost Horizon (feat. Burning Love)
04/04 Ottawa, ON – Ritual (feat. Burning Love)
04/05 Montreal, QC – Tuiple (feat. Burning Love)
04/06 Toronto, ON – Mod Club (feat. Burning Love)
04/07 Lansing, MI – The Loft (feat. The Armed)
04/08 Chicago, IL – Reggies (feat. Weekend Nachos)
04/09 Cleveland, OH – Grog Shop (feat. Ringworm)
04/11 Richmond, VA – Kingdom (feat. Pygmy Lush, Pianos Become The Teeth)
04/12 Washington DC – DC9 (feat. Pygmy Lush)
04/13 Philly, PA – Union Transfere (feat. Pianos Become The Teeth)
04/14 Brooklyn, NY* – Williamsburg Music Hall (feat. Pianos Become The Teeth) (no Loma Prieta)

In the meantime, keep your ears pricked for updates on the new album, which will probably be out in the second half of 2012 and likely be the cause of that rumoured Mayan apocalypse.

Yes, I will be making constant allusions to that all year. No, I am not sorry.
