Escape the Fate

ESCAPE THE FATE is a three-word phrase synonymous with heavy rock n’ roll and hooks, post-hardcore with weight, and unrelenting genre-redefining anthems built for diverse audiences. Over a decade into their young career, they have proven to move crowds equally at major rock radio festivals, the legendary Vans Warped Tour, or on the road with Five Finger Death Punch.

NEW ALBUM is the sound of a band that’s more comfortable in their own skin than ever, recharged for the next era of their career, reinvigorated, and redefined, without losing any edge.

“I hope that people think of Escape The Fate as a good time, but a good time in a better way,” singer Craig Mabbitt explains. “We want people to connect deeply with the music and disappear in it. Get lost and then return from the album, or show, feeling inspired about themselves. We want to make people feel better about life, to know they can take on all of its hardships. That’s what the music does for us as a band. That’s what we want it to do for the audience, too.”

Mabbitt, Thrasher, TJ Bell, and Robert Ortiz have each been making music, and on the road, before they were old enough to drive. Almost ten years into the group’s best known and longest lasting incarnation, ESCAPE THE FATE is poised to shatter all preconceived notions about the past, with a bold step forward into their future. It’s not their storied and beloved music, which regularly captures roughly 2 million listeners across streaming services each month, that requires any distance. It’s the decadence, drama, and retrograde “bad boy” image that they’ve left in the dust.

An authentic, visceral, and electric connection with the audience is the heart of what ESCAPE THE FATE is about. The guys in the band understand what it means to be broken, from childhood trauma, to the tumultuous downsides of the music business. They know how music can heal.

It’s what has made the band’s message transcend any sense of “difference” in genre, all around the world, touring with Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack, Papa Roach, I Prevail, Bullet For My Valentine, Hollywood Undead, HELLYEAH, All That Remains, and on multiple Vans Warped Tours. The tangible passion and energy of the music and lyrics transcend language and culture, whether ESCAPE THE FATE performs at Rock on the Range, Graspop Metal Meeting, or Rock am Ring.

Smashing forward with the momentum from Billboard Top 5 Independent Album Hate Me (2015) and I Am Human (2018), which produced the Top 20 Billboard Mainstream Rock single “Broken Heart,” the four men of ESCAPE THE FATE have crafted an ambitious third entry to what could certainly be described as their most powerful trilogy of albums. Made together with A-list producer John Feldmann (Panic! At The Disco, 5 Seconds Of Summer, The Used) and co-produced by Kevin ‘Thrasher’ Gruft (ETF guitarist and production pro in his own right), NEW ALBUM delivers an arsenal of driving bangers and melodic ballads, among the best of the hard rock world. Thrasher has been working with the likes of Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker on other projects and running from studio to studio to create new music. His packed production schedule in recent times has greatly sharpened his skill set, making NEW ALBUM a real show of his musical strength.

Ortiz is a big fan of megastar violinist Lindsey Stirling, so the band were elated when she accepted their invitation to contribute to one of their songs. “She is an angel – she has so much light in her. But the primary reason I wanted to work with her… strictly speaking musically, she is gnarly - her music is epic,” adds Ortiz. Travis Barker, best known as the drummer for blink-182, makes a handful of appearances as well. Songs like “Lightning Strike,” “Not My Problem,” “Hand Grenade,” and “Invincible” are destined to take their place alongside classic ETF anthems like “One for the Money” and “The Flood.”

ESCAPE THE FATE have always emphasized diversity in their sound. Each record seamlessly blends soaring melodic hooks, powerful riffage, shredding solos, and some of the most instantly recognizable drumming in the genre, with Mabbitt’s heartfelt, authentic, lyrical missives on top.

ESCAPE THE FATE conquered the burgeoning metalcore scene on the strength of their breakout album, This War is Ours (2008), which led to a major label deal and the rock crossover success of Escape the Fate (2011), produced by hitmaker Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Korn, Avril Lavigne). The album hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums, the first of three ESCAPE THE FATE records to debut at No. 1 or two on that chart. Ungrateful (2013) boasts the roaring “You’re Insane.” Hate Me is equally defined by stunning singles like “Just a Memory” and “Remember Every Scar.”

I Am Human, released in 2018, marked the band’s second collaboration with GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Skillet, Seether). That album saw fan-favorite songs like “Empire” and “Do You Love Me?” added to the ETF songbook, but it was the title track that really blew down the doors, heralding the new chapter begun on NEW ALBUM.

“I started doing this because music was my ‘escape’,” says Mabbitt. “I was running from unresolved feelings or chasing things away with a bottle. But music was always there for me. The whole experience of making NEW ALBUM, while reflecting on the other records; it was a beautiful realization to contemplate the power of music. It’s been such an escape for so many people that it puts me in my place. I become so humbled. I’m so grateful, not only that I’m still alive, but that I can get this music out of my head and that it will hopefully help some other people, too.”

It may be the same guys, with the same name, but it’s a brand-new ESCAPE THE FATE. “We get up on that stage, we go into the studio, for different reasons now,” Mabbitt insists. “Throw out everything you thought you knew about this band. NEW ALBUM is a new beginning for us.”

Get Scared

Lorna Shore

Call them heroes or hell-bringers, it doesn’t matter to the men of Lorna Shore. On their fifth album—the declarative I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me—the New Jersey quintet are putting all of metal’s subgenres on notice. Because after one listen, you’ll wonder what motivates them and what took metal so long to evolve. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Shore-men doubled-down on their extremity on their new album.

There are all kinds of levels within the 10 tracks on I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me. Andrew O’Connor’s orchestral arrangements give the songs an epic, cinematic feel that guides listeners into a mise-en-scene of their own creation. When the other members add their parts, the results are positively stentorian. De Micco can thrust into light-speed, black-metal tropes and then downshift into the kind of phrasing one might hear from a ‘70s guitar hero. Ramos is clearly the heir apparent to the kind of vocal madness that Faith No More’s Mike Patton built his considerable reputation on. Add in the propulsive terror of Yager and Archey, and there’s no reason for Lorna Shore’s collective feet to ever touch the ground. Hardly ordinary by anyone’s standards whether it’s deathcore or black metal, there are things at work on Everblack that feel more like an extension of prog rock due to its extremity and big grandiose gestures. But by virtue of physical onslaught and wanting to divine truth from their music, Lorna Shore have kept themselves fired up by torching up the metal rulebook at every turn, practically demanding that other genres step up their game.

But in the context of the myriad of metal subgenres out there, Lorna Shore—vocalist Will Ramos, guitarist Adam De Micco, bassist/vocalist Michael Yager, rhythm guitarist, synth and orchestral arranger Andrew O’Connor and drummer Austin Archey—are operating on a larger plane than ever before. Lorna Shore have been able to access new generations of listeners because their emotional firepower is just as devastating as their existing sonic armories. Once listeners embrace I Feel The Everblack Festering Inside Of Me, they will realize that they’re in Lorna Shore’s movie now, and that might tell them something about their lives. When heroes are hard to find, try looking inside yourself first.

Fit for a King

Born of Osiris

“Simulation Theory” posits that reality and existence as we know them to be are merely a

computer simulation.

Of course, The Matrix explored such a possibility in 1999, while Elon Musk espouses this

hypothesis as gospel for 2019. Regardless of the theory’s truth, humanity still thrives under the

weight of all-encompassing technology and daily cyber advancements. Born Of Osiris preserve

such humanity within a torrent of destructive polyrhythmic riffing, chaotic vocal transmissions,

and synth disarray. The Chicago quintet—Ronnie Canizaro [lead vocals], Joe Buras [keys,

synthesizers, vocals], Lee McKinney [guitar], Nick Rossi [bass], and Cameron Losch

[drums]—perfect that approach on 2019’s aptly titled, The Simulation [Sumerian Records].

“When you listen to the record, I hope you investigate where you see yourself and the future

going in terms of technology and artificial intelligence,” exclaims Buras.

The musicians architected a beacon to transmit such a message since their 2007 emergence.

Not only have they performed on stages with Judas Priest, Rob Zombie, Bring Me The Horizon,

and more, but they also landed four consecutive entries on the Billboard Top 200, including A

Higher Place [2009], The Discovery [2011], Tomorrow We Die Alive [2013], and Soul Sphere

[2015]. Additionally, they garnered features from Guitar World, Brave Words, Metalsucks, and

MetalInjection, to name a few.

By looking back, the group made a major leap forward. They spent 2017 performing their

breakthrough 2007 debut, The New Reign, in its entirety on the road. By the time the guys hit

the studio with Nick Sampson [Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men] who produced vocals while

McKinney produced and engineered the entire record instrumentally, the vision crystallized for

their next evolution.

“We usually don’t wait this long between records,” Buras continues. “By playing The New Reign,

we got back to the original vibes. Once we really started writing, it was a combination of our old

and new songwriting styles. The last three albums felt like a trilogy. On this one, we take the

next step throughout putting all of our skills into one distinct body of work.”

That included welcoming Rossi into the fold following the departure of original bassist David Da

Rocha. Beyond the creative core of McKinney and Losch handling most of the writing, Rossi lent

his writing talents to the process on a handful of songs. The music further incorporated

instrumental virtuosity as well as entrancing synths and twin vocals. At the same time, Buras

dove into books like Jacek Dukaj’s Perfect Imperfection, kickstarting a thematic thread.

On the first single “The Accursed,” screeching keys entwine with precise and pummeling riffing

before spiraling towards a hard-hitting and head-nodding groove.

“The songs are more anthemic,” Buras says. “They’re about not giving up when things get

difficult, you feel down, or a relationship isn’t working. Instead, you don’t stop and force on.

We came into this lifestyle aware of the sacrifices. This is how we’re going to live it.”

“Under The Gun” upholds that sentiment, while “Silence The Echo” steamrolls forward amidst a

flurry airtight guitars and a percussive maelstrom.

“That one dives into silencing negative thoughts,” he elaborates. “We all feel down sometimes,

but you silence those thoughts and keep moving.”

In the end—whether a simulation or not—Born Of Osiris confidently embrace the future with

open arms and deliver their boldest output yet.

“There’s the technological side to the music, but there’s also a message of being patient and

persevering,” he leaves off. “We’ve redefined our sound on this one. Everything is coming

together. We’re brothers in this. It’s a new chapter for Born Of Osiris.”

Archers

ARCHERS combine massive melodies and crushing heaviness with unrivaled passion and precision. The music of the Midwestern quartet connects deeply via confessional tales of broken hearts and mental anguish, building an intimate sense of community with outsiders from all corners of the world.

After years of honing their craft on the road, at major rock festivals and touring alongside bands such as Asking Alexandria, Catch Your Breath, From Ashes to New, Magnolia Park and Imminence, the band has developed a knack for delivering high octane, head turning performances that resonate with their fans while continuing to win over a dedicated army of new fans with each performance.

The Wisconsin band’s momentum is a testament to the strength of its soaring songs and magnetic live performances. Its fourth EP, Temporary High, was produced by Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Sleeping With Sirens) and blends energetic pop and visceral metalcore into an evocative sound.

Engaging frontman Nathanael Pulley and dynamic guitarist Ben Koehler first came together under the Archers banner in 2015, with the later addition of funk and R&B-loving bassist and vocalist Oscar Porter and hard rock-weaned drummer Grayson Mesarosh crystalizing the band’s definitive line-up. Each of the four came into heavy music via different gateways, from a mixture of metalcore and melodic rock bands as diverse as the Vans Warped Tour line-up, from pop-punk hooks to devastating breakdowns.

Determination, passion, and authenticity are the beating heart of Archers. Even as Archers’ mission expands worldwide, the quartet is determined to remain true to themselves. This is evident to their most diehard fans, and it is precisely why what they are doing connects so profoundly.
