I The Breather Unleash “False Profit” Video

May 3rd, 2012 James Shotwell

Sumerian Records’ I The Breather have released their official music video for “False Prophet.”

Taken from the group’s recently released Truth And Purpose album, “False Profit” is a hard hitting breakdown fest with plenty of circle-pit inducing moments of bludgeoning to ensure your head is shaking for hours to come. The clip is heavy on performance shots, but they’re done well enough to keep you interested throughout. You can view the video for “False Prophet” after the jump.

REVIEW: Make Me Famous – It’s Now Or Never

April 12th, 2012 James Shotwell

Artist: Make Me Famous
Album: It’s Now Or Never
Genre: Hard Rock
Label: Sumerian

Sumerian Records recently signed Ukrainian natives Make Me Famous, and there has been quite a bit of buzz and hype surrounding the band. I’ll say that I have been following them for quite some time now, I was intrigued by their singles “Once You Killed A Cow, You Gotta Make A Burger” & “I’m A Traitor No One Does Care” (at least that’s how it was originally) and was a fan ever since.

UPON A BURNING BODY1

REVIEW: Upon A Burning Body – Red. White. Green.

April 9th, 2012 James Shotwell

Artist: Upon A Burning Body
Album: Red. White. Green.
Genre: Metalcore
Label: Sumerian

The farther we plunge into 2012, the clearer it becomes that the tides of the industry are again undergoing change. The metalcore and post hardcore sound that so heavily dominated the alternative scene over the last half decade has begun to sound dull on the ears of even the most diehard fans, leaving dozens of bands with slipping sales and increased competition for worthwhile tour packages. It had to happen at some point I guess, and just like the resurgence of pop punk over the past few …

REVIEW: Stick To Your Guns – Diamond

March 24th, 2012 James Shotwell

Artist: Stick To Your Guns
Album: Diamond
Genre: Post hardcore
Label: Sumerian

The realm of post hardcore music has spent the past decade slowly spiraling into a pit of clichés and fashion statements. No one is authentic; everyone is inspired by the latest fad in pop culture, and more often than not it seems that bands spend more time creating merchandise than meaningful music. Given the state of the industry, it makes sense that some would cash in while they can, but that in no way justifies such action, and it’s the support of such artists that has lead to …

STREAM: I See Stars ft. Cassadee Pope – Electric Forest

March 10th, 2012 Grant Trimboli

Michigan natives I See Stars have unleashed the stream of their brand new song called “Electric Forest,” which features Hey Monday’s own Cassadee Pope.

The song is a different approach for the synth/hardcore group and we are still trying to wrap our heads around this particular composition. This track is off of the band’s forthcoming effort, Digital Renegade, due out March 13 through Sumerian Records.
