EMMURE RE-SIGNS FOR NEW ALBUM IN 2014

Posted in All Metal, Artist Watch, New Music, News, Shows, Uncategorized with tags , , on September 19, 2013 by Randy

Still hot off this summer’s Rockstar Mayhem Festival, EMMURE plan to enter the studio later this year. Their sixth full length album for VICTORY RECORDS will be released Spring 2014. EMMURE will be closing out 2013 by headlining the Never Say Die Tour in Europe (October 4th to 26th) and then a full US tour (October 29th to November 22nd) alongside ASKING ALEXANDRIA, SEVENDUST, ALL THAT REMAINS, and FOR TODAY.

Guitarist and founding member Jesse Ketive stated, “We couldn’t be happier to announce that following Never Say Die! and the Asking Alexandria Tour we will be heading into the studio to work on the new album which is aimed for a Spring release!  We have been working hard in between our rigorous world touring schedule this past year and a half and we can’t wait to unveil new material. We have resigned to Victory Records and there will be a lot of new things developing for EMMURE through the end of the year. Thank you for your constant support through the years and we promise to deliver one of the best EMMURE records to date. See you on tour.”

WARBRINGER launch first song off new album IV: Empires Collapse via Decibel

Posted in All Metal, Artist Watch, Featured, New Music, News, Previews, Releases, Shows, Uncategorized with tags , , , , on September 19, 2013 by Randy

Following up on a successful appearance at Iron Maiden‘s “The Battle Of San Bernardino” event last weekend and in the light of the upcoming release of their fourth studio album, IV: Empires Collapse, on October 29 via Century Medias Records, Los Angeles based WARBRINGER are now debuting the first song from the album, “Hunter- Seeker.”

Check out “Hunter-Seeker” debut on Decibel Magazine‘s website:

http://www.decibelmagazine.com/featured/exclusive-warbringer-hunter-seeker-lyric-video/

WARBRINGER had this to say about the the track: “Hunter-Seeker was the last song completed for the album, yet we feel is one of the strongest tracks to be presented to our fans as the first single. The music was composed and arranged by Carlos Cruz, and the lyrics were a collaboration between John Kevill and Cruz. Kevill had the title in mind before the lyrics were written, though the idea was to write about the instilled sense of fear and paranoia within humans with the recent leak in the mainstream media of the NSA’s operations of our surveillance. Since 2007, Operation PRISM has been in effect; without consent of the people, and those in compliance have been all major internet providers and social media networks who have allowed the NSA to collect everything a user does on the world-wide web. When structured into lyrics, the subject gelled well with the songs dynamic of relentless, yet bleak music.”

 

IV: Empires Collapse was recorded with producer Steve Evetts (Sepultura, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Suicide Silence), mixed by Brett Eliason (Pearl Jam, Heart, BoySetsFire) and mastered by Alan Douches / West West Side Music (Cannibal Corpse, Hatebreed, Converge). The album’s cover artwork was designed by Adrienne Rozzi.

The album’s complete tracklisting reads as follows:

 

WARBRINGER – IV: Empires Collapse

1. Horizon

2. The Turning Of The Gears

3. One Dimension

4. Hunter-Seeker

5. Black Sun, Black Moon

6. Scars Remain

7. Dying Light

8. Iron City

9. Leviathan

10. Off With Their Heads!

11. Towers Of The Serpent
