ESCAPE THE FATE ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM "I AM HUMAN" AND RELEASES NEW SONG "EMPIRE"
Escape the Fate have announced that their sixth full length album, "I Am Human", to be released via Better Noise Records on February 16th, 2018. A new track titled "Empire" which premiered exclusive on SiriusXM's Octane station and will be available on Spotify, Apple Music and all digital music providers.
“Empire” is what guitarist Kevin Thrasher describes as “their own party anthem with a dark undertone”. A thick bombastic riff and handclap rises from airy electronics as Craig croons, “One more time doing one more line, one more shot till we all ignite.” Soon, the groove snaps from a haunting pre-chorus into a chantable toast, “Cheers to the top, cheers to the middle, cheers to us all getting a little.”
I Am Human sees Escape the Fate at their most raw, real, and relatable. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-nominated super producer Howard Benson [My Chemical Romance, Adam Lambert], this record sees an evolution of Escape the Fate’s sound that brings the band back to the excitement of their roots.
“We’re getting older, and we’re changing—so our music should change with us,” singer Craig Mabbitt says, “At the same time, we rediscovered what made us who we are. I felt like I was 17-years-old again. I haven’t been this excited to release something since I first joined the band and we put out This War Is Ours.”
The album will be released on February 16th, 2018 on Better Noise Records. Check out the lyrical video for the new track "Empire" right over HERE.
AUGUST BURNS RED: 'Empire' Video Released
"Empire", the new video from the Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based Christian metalcore quintet AUGUST BURNS RED, can be viewed below. The song comes off the band's fourth album, "Leveler", which sold around 29,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 11 on The Billboard 200 chart.
"The 'Empire' video shoot was an exhausting 8 hours of sweating and head banging," explains guitarist JB Brubaker. "But it was worth the exhaustion as I think it's the coolest performance video we ever did. I especially like the old-school 'Godzilla'-looking shots that are in the middle and the coloring and filters that were applied to the post production brought everything together."
