Essential listening for today: If Hope Dies' 2003 album The Ground Is Rushing Up To Meet Us(Ironclad Recordings). What a metal band. I won't even attempt to list adjectives; just find some stuff from these guys, and support them when they come through your city to wreck stage.
We have a new Dismissed song here, called 'Bittersweet'. According to their label head, we'll really like it, so without further ado, check it out your own self.
Zao(them again!) drummer Jesse Smith's new band is up and running; they're called GODS, they've got some music here, and they're looking to get things going. See whatcha think. In related news, theprp are reporting that Zao has reunited with former vocalist Dan Weyandt and parted ways with Smith. Who really cares? Just keep it comin'. [hxc]
