⋘Taken from the "No Peace" EP by EMPIRE OF RATS, released on October 23, 2012, this song "We're Dead" is full of some of the strongest riffs and genuine, justifiable anger ever recorded to tape/digital! The EP, upon its initial street date, was put out by GET THIS RIGHT RECORDS, the label to which the band remained signed up until a few months ago (summer 2013); at that time, Baltimore-based label A389 RECORDINGS picked the band up, and for damn good reason!
Expect a brand new, debut full length from EMPIRE OF RATS to come out via A389 sometime between the end of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. It's going to be one fucking hell of a record!⋙
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
Hardcore from Columbus, Ohio, featuring current and/or ex-memebers of such bands as: 100 Demons, Nails, Ringworm, Buried Alive, and Crowbar (among others). The "NO PEACE" EP was put out through GET THIS RIGHT RECORDS at the time of its release, and it was the label EMPIRE OF RATS stayed with until very recently.
About one and a half months ago, the band formally signed to Baltimore, Maryland's amazing fucking label, one of the best in the business, A389 RECORDINGS. The "No Peace" EP is now offered on the new label's site for download/purchase, but more importantly there has been recent news regarding EMPIRE OF RATS near completion on their debut full length album. This will only add to the already RIDICULOUS ROSTER that A389 RECORDINGS has and the countless staple albums they've put out through the years since the inception of the label. Seeing as how the "No Peace" EP is one of the best independent album offerings I've personally ever heard, I cannot wait to experience their pending full length for the first time!!
MAJOR PROPS TO A389 RECORDINGS FOR SIGNING YET ANOTHER MAJOR, UNIQUE PLAYER IN THE WORLD OF UNDERGROUND/EXTREME METAL!!!! YOU GUYS FUCKING ROCK.
