NAILS: Abandon All Life Out Now In North America



Abandon All Life, the demoralizing second full-length from American tyrants NAILS, is out now in North America via Southern Lord. Recorded at Godcity with Kurt Ballou (Converge) and mastered by Brad Boatright (From Ashes Rise), Abandon All Life is already a notorious front-runner for most crushing release of 2013, with NAILS’ hardcore/grind approach infiltrated with more unhinged death metal ferocity than ever before.

With Abandon All Life out wreaking havoc on the masses, today NAILS gives the beaten public a full-on lashing with a full stream of the album via Revolver Magazine. Unleash pure hell
RIGHT HERE.

NAILS’ upcoming North American Spring tour in support of Abandon All Life alongside Early Graves and labelmates/co-headliners Xibalba is set to begin in one month. The confrontations begin at the Chicago-based two-day
The Rumble, with the three bands joining The Killer, Twitching Tongues, Crown of Thornz, Hoods, Wisdom In Chains, Weekend Nachos, Expire, Power Trip, Alpha and Omega and more, then pounds through eight cities throughout the Northeast US as well as Toronto and Montreal.

NAILS & SKIN LIKE IRON To Co-Self-Release Limited Split EP In January

Bringing two energetic but diversified contemporary hardcore acts together in one pure and primal slab of wax, NAILS and SKIN LIKE IRON will collaboratively self-release a split 7” EP this January.

San Francisco’s SKIN LIKE IRON have already become a well-known entity in modern hardcore with nearly ten releases on such admirable dissident hardcore labels as Six Feet Under and React Records. The split leads off with two tracks of their melodic, yet abrasive hardcore, boasting an ambitious and emotive energy that many similar contemporary acts lack in severely.

The B-side of this crushing joint venture is owned by NAILS, hailing from Oxnard, California (the same town as the legendary Dr. Know), and undoubtedly one of the most devastating acts within the present expanses of hardcore. As on their Southern Lord debut LP Unsilent Death NAILS get in, kill, and get out, just as fans expect on these two tracks, which are in fact a preview of what is to be expected of their upcoming full-length, now being constructed for release via Southern Lord in the first half of 2012.

This one-time pressing of 1000 copies will be split between a publicly available reserve of 900 copies on black wax and 100 copies on blue, available from the bands only. The artwork was handled by SKIN LIKE IRON’s Alex Capasso who has handled the art duties for previous releases for the band.

Stay tuned for preorder info, an exclusive stream of the release and more in the weeks ahead. Check out the artwork and more at this location.


SKIN LIKE IRON & NAILS Split 7” Track Listing:

1. Skin Like Iron "Disappear"
2. Skin Like Iron "The Parade"
3. Nails "Annihilation"
4. Nails "Cry Wolf"

View the tour poster HERE.
 
Said band mastermind Chris Grigg of the upcoming dates: "WOE is not given to hyperbole so it is with stern, stoic determination that we say we hope those in attendance of our upcoming West Coast performances are ready to have their heads blown the fuck off."

WOE's critically acclaimed Quietly, Undramatically was released in North America on October 12 via Candlelight Records. The full-length was recorded at Gradwell House in Haddon Heights, New Jersey with additional tracking completed at frontman Chris Grigg's BS1 in Philadelphia. The album is the first to feature a full band ensemble comprised of members from Absu, Woods Of Ypres, The Green Evening Requiem, Infernal Stronghold and Rumpelstiltskin Grinder and continues to reap praise from fans and critics alike.
 
Said the Washington Times of the record: "Woe's artistry cuts so deep as the band understands the depths of desperation. Their music at times wallows in its own hatred while at others displays optimism that life will improve. It is a satisfying bait and switch because the band knows when to sacrifice betterment at the altar of the bleak." Added MetalSucks, "Woe’s punk spirit goes beyond bouts with d-beats and energy to spare. They don’t give a fuck about convention, just about stretching what they love to the point where it may not be what it originally was anymore...Undramatic my ass. This is the sound of black metal to come." Metal Underground commended the band saying: "The album has a huge amount of variation, and tacks on enough unforeseen twists to keep even the most jaded metal fan listening for the whole run time. Fans of U.S. black metal need to make a point of keeping up with Woe," while About.com noted, "After the brilliant A Spell For The Death Of Man, Woe puts out another sharp, dynamic black metal album that shows major growth and maturity." Popdose kept it short and sweet: "The USBM scene needs more bands like Woe to take charge and push the genre forward."
