Rhode Island-based Prog metallers The Empire Shall Fall to release free MP3 on June 21st 2010 to mark the release of their critically acclaimed debut album “Awaken,” which will be available in all UK and European stores as of June 21st 2010.
The band recorded ‘Arcarsenal’ by At The Drive-In as a treat for their fans both new and old. Bassist Nick Sollectio had the following to say regarding the track: “We had debated for months about a cover song that was appropriate for us on a whole. I suggested something by ‘At The Drive-In’ to which Jake suggested ‘Arcarsenal’ and we all agreed immediately. Taking on a song by a band as mighty as At The Drive-In is no small task, and we understand the dangers in doing so. But, I think we all love the band so much that it was hard to say no.”
A free download of ‘Arcarsenal’ can be found at www.anglesideside.com on June 21st.
The Empire Shall Fall are the new band from former Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach and “Awaken” features such stunning tracks as “Lords Of War”, for which the band released a video for earlier this year.
“Awaken” will be released through Angle Side Side Records (Distributed through Code7 Distribution).
I'm a self-confessed musical nut with an eclectic taste ranging from lo-fi indie to crushing heavy metal. I also make a blizzard of noise in my band Final Coil (recently seen deafening audiences in the midlands area). I also like cheese. Cheese is possibly the single greatest food (if one excludes bacon). Sometimes I write songs about cheese... but not often
