To celebrate, the band has also released a brand-new single Violent, alongside its music video shot by their new vocalist Oli Duncanson.
“We are ecstatic to have joined the Arising Empire family, among a roster of so many talented bands. The team at the label have been incredibly supportive of our creative vision for this record and allowed us to spread our wings to create a collection of music, unlike anything we have ever attempted before. Some of our biggest influences have been associated with this great team over the years, so we are very excited to see what the future has in store.” says guitarist Mikey Page.
Since stomping onto the scene in 2015, the London based band has extensively toured the UK. They dropped their debut album, LOW, in August 2019, garnering a top-five iTunes metal chart debut. The album was also supported by Spotify and Amazon Music, with a stack of singles appearing in editorial playlists.
When touring was still a thing, the band played a sold-out album release show at Boston Music Rooms in London. They’ve appeared at a string of UK festivals, including Camden Rocks, Macmillan Fest, Burn It Down and Holloween. On top of that, they made a fly-in appearance at High Fives Festival in Sweden and played a headline set at Download Festival to a crowd of 4,000+.
They recently went through some lineup changes, with long-term vocalist Sam Stolliday departing the band. He has since been replaced by Oli Duncanson.
Violent is available to stream now.
