Aside from a few tours, Chicago, Illinois hardcore group Harm’s Way have been relatively quiet since the release of 2011′s devastating Isolation. That silence has been broken. The recently Deathwish-signed group will have a new EP entitled “Blinded” out soon. Recorded at Bricktop Studios with engineer Andy Nelson(Weekend Nachos), Blinded features five tracks of what are said to be the band’s heaviest and most exploratory material yet. The full track listing as well as album artwork, by the mighty Florian Bertmer(Converge, Pig Destroyer, etc.) can be viewed below with release date and pre-order info soon to follow. In the meantime, mark your calenders for Harm’s Way on their upcoming European Summer tour with peers Twitching Tongues and I Exist, dates below. Continue reading »

I was late to the part when it came to Loma Prieta. Lane turned me onto them a while back and now I’m enamored with their musical face-melting. If you don’t know Loma Prieta, you should seriously get your hands on their last album I.V. which was released by Deathwish, Inc. last year. The band is prepping to release a new split 7″ with the band Raein and the new song they’ve released has got me craving more….
Last year I swooned over a documentary called One Man Metal which I loved and I watch over and over again. Today McFarland and Pecci released a documentary on a band that I absolutely love: Converge. To be specific, this twelve-minute documentary delves into the life of Converge‘s frontman Jacob Bannon. Bannon talks about his teenage years, music and his angst. It’s really cool and very well put together. Check it out below.
Touché Amoré, who today released their split album with Pianos Become The Teeth, have also released a new music video for their song “Gravity, Metaphorically” which appears on the split. This track is pretty great. I like Touché Amoré and I really enjoyed their last album Parting The Sea Between Brightness And Me. “Gravity, Metaphorically” doesn’t sound like a continuation of Parting The Sea… however, which I like. It seems like this band is constantly reinventing themselves. 



Holy fuck. This. Tour. Rules. I mean, putting Kvelertak and Converge on a bill together is crazy enough. Adding in Torche? Whoa! That completely changes the game. And now you’re telling me that select dates will feature NAILS and/or Whips/Chains? You have got to be fucking kidding me. This is the kind of thing that dream tours are made of. If you miss this tour, you will forever be shunned. Please, do yourself a favor and catch these amazing bands if they are going to come through (and most likely destroy) your town. Check out the dates after the jump.
