At just eighty-two seconds in length and loads of punk rock shenanigans, We Were Sharks have released the raucous new video "Ashley," from their upcoming album "Lost Touch". The album will be available February 23rd 2018 through Victory Records, just as the Canadian six piece will wrap up their second tour behind the new record.

"Shooting the video for "Ashley", was an absolute blast," recalls vocalist Randy Frobel. "Dodging balls, Nerf darts, toilet paper and a few eggs for good measure, as an older loving couple wreak havoc on the neighborhood pranking everyone in sight. What more could you ask for? "Ashley" is a teen angst love song about that bad girl who lives a few houses down. You know she’s trouble, but she’s everything you dream about."

We Were Sharks will continue supporting "Lost Touch" beginning February 2nd 2018 with help from Belmont, Boys Of Fall and Sink The Ship. "We’re excited to be back in the USA playing with some awesome bands in great towns,” exclaims Frobel. "Make sure to come out to a show if we are reaching your area to get a sneak peek at new songs from Lost Touch."

"Once again, we've stuck with the tried and true JUNGLE ROT formula to produce another killer record that all our fans and everyone will enjoy,” promises vocalist/guitarist Dave Matrise. “It's been nice to get back to doing what we do best and that's writing brutal, heavy music."

The titles slated to appear include "Delusional Denial," "Glory For The Fallen," "Stay Dead," "Twisted Mind," "Fearmonger," "Pumped Full Of Lead," "A Burning Cinder,” “Triggered,” “Full Scale War” and “Send Forth Oblivion.” The band is also working on two as-of-yet unnamed cover songs. Recording will take place at Belle City Sound in Racine, Wisconsin with engineer Chris Djuricic at the helm. Mixing and mastering will be handled by the legendary Dan Swanö (Dark Funeral, Marduk), and accompanying the band behind the drums will be past contributor Jesse Beahler. The artwork will once again be created by longtime JUNGLE ROT album cover artist Gyula Havancsak and the record will be released in Spring 2018 on Victory Records (their fifth release for the label). Bassist James Genenz adds, "We've got quite a fire under our collective asses and we're psyched to get this album out! This is going to be a nasty record!"

KISSING CANDICE has signed to Victory Records.  Debut album coming in 2015.  Gore Core is coming!

In early 2012, ex-Dr. Acula keyboardist and sample mastermind, Joey Simpson, was looking to start a project that would combine metal, hardcore, industrial and electronic music, but would also placate his horror-culture addiction, and recall the cinematic energy and grimness of bands like Slipknot and Marilyn Manson.

Taking on the role of frontman, Simpson recruited guitarists Tommy Sciro and Walter Dicristina, Marco Caruso on drums, and bassist Mike Grippo, spawning KISSING CANDICE, hailing from Long Island, NY.

Simpson states "KISSING CANDICE is proud to be a part of the Victory Records family and beyond excited to bring the shock back to rock.  Our debut album will cement nightmares in your sleep.  Stay scary!"

Check out what Metal-Rules.com is calling “astounding”. Check it out HERE.


Miami, Florida's NEUROTIC NOVEMBER has inked a deal with Victory Records. The band's debut album will be released in the fall.

Formed in January 2009, NEUROTIC NOVEMBER is "a six-piece band with breaks that will move you, melodies that will swell in your head for hours, and whose members are as diverse as its sound," according to the group's official bio. "Dirty Dick leads the way with his one-of-a-kind voice, shouting his down-to-earth lyrics alongside the heavy chugs, southern-metal-style riffs, and solos with triple harmonies of guitarists The Over Achiever, Handsome Hajii and Sushi.

"NEUROTIC NOVEMBER boasts a style that differs from most metal bands, drummer Cholo adding his own pace and powerful beats while bassist Bear amazing shredding ability and with her unique style of playing and performing."

The band began its journey in the world of recording by traveling a difficult twenty-hour drive, packed into Dirty Dick's Ford Ranger, the band truly learning the meaning behind "bonding." While in Ohio, NEUROTIC NOVEMBER completed the recording of its first two songs as a band, "I'm From The Sunshine State I Gotta Shine" and "It Always Rains In Gotham City". After returning from Ohio, they received over 3000 plays within the first few hours of having the songs up. Seeing how excited kids were about their music, the band began dedicating their time to constant practice and writing new material.

Check out the video message from the band HERE.

Victory Records proudly welcomes symphonic, black metal unit, ERIMHA from Montreal, Quebec, Canada to its roster. ERIMHA, which means Army or Legion coming from Sumerian culture, base their haunting, melodic, merciless and operatic sound on ancient mythology and spirituality. Their mantra and mission is one of inner strength and how the individual can be as powerful as an entire army.

Formed in 2010, ERIMHA’s punishingly fresh and savage take on symphonic black metal is spawning a loyal legion of followers in the Canadian metal scene. They released their first full length album, Irkalla in September 2010 which featured guest vocals from THE AGONIST’s front woman, Alissa White. The band, Gore (vocals), Kthien (rhythm guitar), Ksaos (drums) and Diusternas (bass) are going to be an extreme force to be reckoned with on the international metal battlefield.

ERIMHA will embark on their first U.S. tour in June with their debut album for Victory Records to be released this summer. “Not how many – but where.” - Plutarch.

New merchandise is now available through the Victory Records’ Web Store HERE and a video announcement was even made and can be seen HERE.


Dance-infused rock innovators, THE BUNNY THE BEAR have announced that their forthcoming, and third studio album will be titled, Stories. The album will be released on April 16th. Recorded at Watchmen Studios with their longtime producer Doug White (GYM CLASS HEROS, EVERY TIME I DIE), Stories demonstrates the bands’ contrasting, trademark, duel vocalist approach, with dangerously catchy melodies in their most dynamic release to date. “I think fans, while finding some directional choices surprising, are really going to enjoy this release. This is the first album I've written where I've stepped out of the ‘normal’ comfort zone that surrounded THE BUNNY THE BEAR, and, in retrospect, created something quite enjoyable”, comments The Bunny.


Metal rock n' rollers Snow White's Poison Bite is currently in the recording studio finishing up their follow-up release to their debut album "The Story of Kristy Killings". Their brand new album and debut release on Victory Records will be called "Featuring: Dr.Gruesome And The Gruesome Gory Horror Show" and be available on April 16th!

Plus these guys will be making their first U.S. debut this summer on an all new tour featuring Farewell My Love, Chomp Chomp Attack, and Kissing Candace.

Find out how it all began when we first spoke to the band before any of this happened back in 2011 HERE.

Victory Records is proud to welcome TERROR to the Victory family. They will release their sixth studio album titled Live By The Code in April, 2013 in the US and Canada. Check out the Victory Records’ webstore for new merch designs- HERE.

TERROR vocalist Scott Vogel comments, “When I was in high school, I would go to ‘Home of the Hits Records’ in Buffalo, NY and every week I would check for new Victory releases. Growing up, Victory Records always had the best hardcore bands, period. They had this awesome packaging and vibe that I loved. INTEGRITY, STRIFE, BLOODLET, EARTH CRISIS -it was a fucking amazing time for hardcore. Later, I met Tony when he came to Buffalo to see SNAPCASE. We stayed in contact and made plans for my second band DESPAIR, but soon after we broke up. Victory and my band BURIED ALIVE worked together for years. They also had HATEBREED, BLOOD FOR BLOOD, ALL OUT WAR and REACH THE SKY, all bands I've always respected and held in the highest regard. This summer I hung out with Tony and we had a wild night in Chicago. We talked about the good and bad of hardcore today and just had a blast. No business talk, no nonsense. We were under contract at the time so there wasn't even room for it. As we got ready to release Live By The Code, TERROR and Century Media debated on how to release the record right and VICTORY RECORDS seemed like the best fit. Tony and I are both insane. We both come from the same place. We both scratch and fight to stay afloat. We still believe in the essence of hardcore and still love WARZONE. This is pretty fucking exciting.”

Vogel claims Live By The Code “hits harder than Keepers Of The Faith”, calling it the “dirtiest, rawest and most hardcore record we’ve done since Lowest Of The Low”. While the album is set for an April, 2013 release date, fans can expect to pre-order their copy of the album soon along with other merch packages. A brand new music video for their album-titled single, “Live By The Code” is also on the horizon, so stay tuned.


St.Louis, Missouri, metalcore outfit TEAR OUT THE HEART has announced that their forthcoming debut album will be titled Violence, out March 19th. Listen to a clip of “Infamous Last Words” HERE while also pre-ordering your copy today through the Victory Records’ webstore!

Upon inking deal with Victory Records in August 2012, TEAR OUT THE HEART began writing what would become one of the most dynamic, powerful releases of 2013. Utilizing vocalist Tyler Konersman’s all encompassing range, Violence boasts unrivaled clean singing alongside screams that are in a class of their own. “It’s a record about deception and revenge. It’s about self enlightenment and growing into a much stronger, more receptive version of your previous self. Violence is about no one being in your corner when times are at their hardest, who still want to celebrate with you at the end of the day as if they had a part in your success.”, comments Konersman.

Complete with hauntingly catchy choruses and melodies that will shock and surprise you, Violence will be stuck in your head in the best way. Konersman continues, “I realize this is terribly cliché, but it is easily the heaviest, most melodic record we have ever written; orchestrated both maturely and tastefully. Like it or not, this album is going to take over the world.”

With standouts like “Infamous Last Words”, it is clear that producer Caleb Shomo formerly of Attack! Attack!, has taken a very special interest in St. Louis’ TEAR OUT THE HEART and their aggressive delivery. AOL’s NOISECREEP had this to say upon first listen, “Violence is teeming with soaring choruses, neck-snapping breakdowns and doomsday-kissed guitars. Don’t be surprised if you see these guys headlining over some of their heroes soon.”

For fans of ATREYU, A DAY TO REMEMBER, BRING ME THE HORIZON and AS I LAY DYING, TEAR OUT THE HEART has arrived to take the world by storm, one impossibly energetic song at a time. Be sure to pre-order your copy of Violence today and prepare for the TEAR OUT THE HEART takeover! With album art beautifully executed by Dan Mumford (A DAY TO REMEMBER, PARKWAY DRIVE, GALLOWS), let the creepy, ominous castle set the stage for the chaotic, bewitching performance that is Violence.


Parisian modern metallers AS THEY BURN have announced that their forthcoming album will be titled Will, Love, Life, out February 19th, 2013. Watch the pre-order video here and listen to a new song clip HERE. Three pre-order package options are available through the Victory Records’ webstore. Packages include cd with double cover artwork, poster and your choice of a jersey, zip-up or t-shirt; additional items can be added at a discounted price and shipped internationally. Order HERE!

“Our new effort is on its way and is in the mixing process with Jason Suecof (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, TRIVIUM, CHIMAIRA, AS I LAY DYING). We are really glad about how the album sounds and we hope that you will love and respect it as much as us. Will, Love Life is heavier, more mature, atmospheric and darker than our previous album, but also very positive and still full of symbolism” vocalist Kevin Trevor commented.

Machinist Bastien Jacquesson comments on the meaning behind the album artwork. “The pyramid on the cover is a mystical sign, a sign of spiritual elevation and knowledge. It is also linked with Aleister Crowley and the Thelema mythology which always been a big influence for us. The cover art photo was taken by our great friend Anthony Dubois who's also known as Meshuggah's official photographer and French painter Charlotte Mollet drew each of the eleven signs that represent the eleven tracks of the record. Each symbol has a special meaning linked with the song's lyrics.”


Hailing from Kenosha, Wisconsin, four-piece death metal act JUNGLE ROT has been destroying the metal scene since 1994 proving the quality of their production matched their live performance, solidifying their spot as major players in the death metal scene. They signed to Victory Records in April 2011 and shortly after released Kill on Command, some of their heaviest material to date. Throwing down the gauntlet, they integrated slow stomp melodies into their speed-thrash style, bringing the band back to their death metal roots. Their years of hard work landed them on tours with many death metal legends such as OBITUARY, DEICIDE, ENTOMBED, SIX FEET UNDER, GOATWHORE, CATTLE DECAPITATION and more.

JUNGLE ROT will be re-issuing their newly re-mastered 1996 classic album, Skin The Living, coming February 19th, 2013. Pre-order packages are now available through the Victory Records’ webstore. Order HERE! Front man Dave Matrise comments “We’ve wanted to re-issue Skin The Living for some time now and are happy that we have that opportunity. I still feel this album stands up to the test of times. Night after night on the road we hear fans screaming out the songs from the release, asking us to play and constantly asking us where they can pick up Skin The Living. This will give everyone a chance to see where it all started for J-Rot and they will have a chance to own a rare piece.”
