There are a few names in business when it comes to perfectly arranged Emo/Screamo/Posthardcore – Atreyu or of course the mighty Poison The Well have been at the top until now! This is the time for a young and fresh band – PHOENIX MOURNING! How often do you hear music that feels that honest, lovely and frustrated at the same time but not sounding like another copycat!?
Their stunning debut “When Excuses Become Antiques” was produced by Tom & Jim Morris at the famous Morrissound Studios (Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, Sepultura, Public Enemy, Puff Daddy…) and will hit stores all over Europe on the 24th of April (Germany/Austria/Switzerland: 21st of April)!
So WATCH OUT – PHOENIX MOURNING are about to conquer your hearts and moshpits!

THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE – “Feel Like Hell”
After forming THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE back in 2002 the band began to show up everywhere and kept destroying audiences all over the United States! After releasing two demos UNEARTH’s Trevor Phipps drew attention to the guys and gave them a deal with his label Ironclad Recordings – through an exclusive licence-deal Metal Blade Records Europe will take care of releasing their ass kicking debut “Feel Like Hell” all over Europe on the 8th of May (Germany/Austria/Switzerland: 5th of May!)! THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE focuses on total destruction while other bands try to get airplay through playing cheesy wannabe-metalcore! “Feel Like Hell” is the perfect symbiosis of edge crushing Swedish melodic death metal, brutal American death and a shitload of devastating hardcore energy!

APIARY – “Lost in Focus”
There is a new sound to take care of! There is a band that will immediately burn down every CD-player and easily destroy every stage they are put on! For those of you who are really into the vibes of bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge or Curl Up An Die, “Lost In Focus” is the new drug you will be addicted to! As well as IF HOPE DIES, THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE and SINCE THE FLOOD, APIARY is another great band of Trevor Phipps’ (UNEARTH) Ironclad Recordings that will just lay a powerful force of technical mass-destruction upon the audiences all around the world. This music definitely has to be handled as a heavy weapon and will be available through the arms dealer of your choice on the 8th of May (Germany/Austria/Switzerland: 5th of May!)!
