Heavy Metal Band VIA Signs To Unable Records

In the ultimate case of saving-the-best-for-last, Unable Records has rocked the American metal scene on the final day of the year. Violence in Ascension, the veteran metal band also known as VIA, has just inked a one album deal with Unable Records, a division of the Unable Music Group. The agreement calls for a full-length album, likely consisting of 10 brand new original songs, to be released later in 2016.

VIA, who recently adopted their long-form name Violence in Ascension, are a well established staple in the East Coast metal scene. Since early 2012, VIA has released both an EP and a full-length album; the latter (From the Ashes - 2014) while signed to the North Carolina heavy metal label Dark Harvest Records. During that time the band has played a relentless show schedule, hitting stages from South Carolina to New York And as far west as Ohio, where they played the main stage for fans at Cleveland's famed Rockapalooza. VIA has shared the stage with notable bands such as Texas in July, Attack! Attack! and The Devil Wears Prada.

For the crew at Unable Records, VIA represents a breath of fresh air; a band that not only packs an unbelievable amount of raw talent, but backs it up with unmatched dedication and persistence. They are the definition of what it means to never give up, and Unable Records is proud to now call them part of the family. The new album, and the extensive tour schedule that will undoubtedly follow, will embody that heart, that dedication, that character. Metal fans should expect nothing short of a masterpiece - a masterpiece that exudes energy, confidence, charisma and attitude.

If speed is any indication of the excitement behind this project, Unable Records and VIA must be through the roof. Fans won't have long to wait for results, as the band's tracking sessions have already been booked - for January 2016! The album will be recorded, mixed and produced by the well known engineer/producer Jason Ruch, at Unable Music Group's 0x1 Sound Studio in Cherry Hill, NJ. Mastering will be performed by James Forbes (Metal Blade, Roadrunner, Warner Bros., Sony) of Vortex Music Productions in Clearwater, FL. The album will be released, distributed and promoted worldwide by Unable Records, in both digital and CD formats. Metal fans the world over are about to learn about struggle, sacrifice and perseverance - about Violence in Ascension. In mid-2016, VIA will ascend.

The Voices of Terror Self-titled EP out Now (self-released)

Listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWR63ToktHc&feature=youtu.be

The Voices of Terror share their brand new self-tilted 4-track EP. Best described as alternate Hip Hop, the New Jersey pair possess a dark gritty sound that will leave you with one foot in the clouds and other on the moon.

Each track presents a hypnotic soundscape, providing an energising backdrop for deep vocals and bubbling synths throughout the EP. Together, this creates a deeply creative project.

Noting the 90s era as a major influence, The Voices of Terror’s writing and vocal skills are very much inspired by the Hard Rock, Metal and Hip-Hop scene of that period. Give this a spin, the rest will be history!

Heavy Russia: Young Metal Act "Gravity Rain" Announce Crowdfunder For "Artifacts Of Balance"

Taking their origins from a country with a truly deep musical heritage, acclaimed young Russian metal act Gravity Rain are engaging their fanbase to support them in finishing their upcoming album “Artifacts of Balance”.

Gravity Rain made its debut in May 2014 with the 3-track EP “The Shining Silence”. Carefully crafted, well produced and showcasing an eclectic mix of influences including Tool, Devin Townsend, Staind and Type O Negative, the release was well received in heavy music circles. Natalie Humphries of Soundscape Magazine said “for a first EP, it’s an impressive offering”.

Gravity Rain is skillfully balanced between an abundance of melody, clean, solid vocals and a fine feeling for music itself, yet retaining the power and groove of metal at its core.

The recording of the new album is almost finished; the funds will go towards for mixing, mastering, proper promotional release and tour. Enticing pre-order packages and special benefits will be provided exclusively for funders. "Artifacts of Balance" is on its way and it's no doubt an upcoming album that is worth to be a part of.

Hybrid Studios Helps Of Mice & Men Come Full Circle

After relentless touring in 2014, the metal band Of Mice & Men stepped into Hybrid Studios in their home base of Orange County, California to record some new material. The sessions resulted in four new songs, which appear as bonus tracks on their February 24, 2015 release of Restoring Force: Full Circle, a follow-up to their 2014 album Restoring Force on Rise Records.

Having completed 10 days of pre-production to dial in the songs and lyrics that were mainly written on the road, multi-platinum Producer David Bendeth (Papa Roach, Vertical Horizon, As I Lay Dying) and the band sought to record locally for some much needed R&R, but needed to match or exceed the quality of the original material on Restoring Force.

"Being a local band to Orange County, it was important for us to find a comfortable and state of the art studio that could house the team of engineers as well as give us an overall great vibe to our session, and Hybrid did just that," said the band's drummer Valentino Arteaga. "Their team really took care of us and the atmosphere at the studio really helped keep the creativity flowing throughout the sessions."

The band spent three weeks in October recording at Hybrid. Bendeth, who works out of House of Loud Studios in New Jersey, acclimated to new surroundings quickly. "Hybrid has top of the line gear, a great sounding live room, and an SSL 4064G+ in the control room," said Bendeth, adding that familiarity with the mixing console, which is similar to the one installed in House of Loud, made for speedy and smooth tracking sessions.

Of Mice & Men are on tour in support of Restoring Force: Full Circle with a European swing in March and in the US from April to June. For more information, visit www.ofmiceandmenofficial.com.
