MyChildren MyBride's New Self-Titled Album Out March 13th!

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:01:36 -0800

MyChildren MyBride's third full-length album, a self-titled effort, will be available online and in stores everywhere March 13th.

The eagerly awaited album is the band's third release in six years, and the first since 2010's lauded Lost Boy, which debuted at #183 on the Billboard Top 200.

For MyChildren MyBride, the self-titled album represents a new chapter for the band, and stamps the advent of a refined sound the members have been chasing since MCMB's inception.

"That's exactly what this album is, a new beginning," says guitarist Robert Bloomfield. "I really do feel we found our sound. It's definitely MCMB still, but with this new flare that we've all loved and understood but never figured out a way to translate it to our music."

Recorded with esteemed producer Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall), "MyChildren MyBride" finds the band reaching deep mentally and emotionally for what is without a doubt their crowning achievement thus far, a hard-hitting, experimental, cinematic opus that will set a fire in the hearts of old and new fans alike. With a no-holds-barred approach to programming and effects, and good, old-fashioned brutal riffage - not to mention a new level of dynamics from frontman Matthew Hasting - MyChildren MyBride have boldly redefined themselves for this new chapter of their career.

"I feel like everything we've done as a band all comes together in this one record," Bloomfield says. "Everything we've learned along the way. We put all our love and hate into it. It's the best album in our career so far."

Stay tuned for new music, photos, videos and more!

Welcome The Overseer To The Solid State Family!

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:01:39 -0800

We're happy to welcome Arkansas' The Overseer to the Solid State Family!

The surging hard rock outfit has been dominating the Southern underground circuit as of late with a relentless touring schedule and a rousing catalog of pummeling riffage, savage breakdowns and vocal cord-rupturing vocals. Inspired by bands like Thrice and Underoath, The Overseer have three goals with their music: To elevate, to transport the listener to a place that’s emotionally honest...and to stir up one hell of a mess in the moshpit.

All of those elements are on full technicolor display in the band's debut single "Secrets," available for download now on iTunes and Amazon MP3. The song is the first taste of The Overseer's as-yet-untitled debut album, being recorded now in Atlanta’s Glow in the Dark Studios.

For more on The Overseer, visit them on Facebook and Twitter.

Demon Hunter: New Year, New Album, New Tour Dates, New Guitarist

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:01:55 -0800

Demon Hunter is hitting the ground running in 2012. The band is proud to announce that they have finished tracking a brand new album in Seattle.

"This record is without a doubt our most aggressive. Every Demon Hunter record must be a step up from the last. I know that's a goal for every band, but it seldom works that way - especially today, especially in metal. It seems like most bands' prime years are long behind them. I refuse to let that be the case for us," said vocalist and band co-founder Ryan Clark.

"We've been extremely underwhelmed with metal for the last five years or so, and that's been the fuel to create this record. With an extreme over-saturation of false, fleeting, trend-hopping noise in today's metal scene, we had to make something we've been longing to hear. Something truly meaningful and artistic. Something our fans would love and something that will turn the heads of those who have ignored us for the past decade."

The new Demon Hunter album sees them returning to producer Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, Emery) and mixer Jason Suecoff (All That Remains, Trivium) with a collection of songs emphasizing the band's strongest components: true metal, dark rock and balladry.

Ryan Clark, Tim "Yogi" Watts (drums), Jonathan Dunn (bass) and Patrick Judge (lead guitar) are now joined by their longtime friend Jeremiah Scott (guitar), whose credits as a metal musician (The Showdown) and producer (Living Sacrifice) are well established.

Demon Hunter has already lined up the first of their live dates for 2012, which include:

April 27th - Seattle, WA @ El Corazon
April 30th - Kouvola, Finland @ Vappugospel

The new Demon Hunter album is tentatively scheduled for an April release, stay tuned for more info and goodies!
