SENSES FAIL PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR “IN YOUR ABSENCE”
NEW ACOUSTIC EP, ‘IN YOUR ABSENCE,’ COMING MARCH 3RD VIA PURE NOISE RECORDS
February 15, 2017 – Los Angeles, CA – Post-hardcore veterans Senses Fail have premiered new video “In Your Absence” via Kerrang.com. “In Your Absence” is taken off their upcoming acoustic EP of the same name, which is due out on March 3rd via Pure Noise Records. Pre-order the record now at http://smarturl.it/SensesFail.
“This is our first stab at an acoustic record, coming off our last record being so heavy we thought it might be fun to try the opposite. I have to say that it was very fun to write these songs and I think they came out great. They are loosely about my wife battle with Multiple Sclerosis and the thought of losing her prematurely.” – Buddy Nielsen
In addition to releasing a new EP, Senses Fail will also be celebrating their 15th anniversary as a band with a headlining North American tour that kicks off in March. The band will be performing their critically acclaimed 2006 album, Still Searching, in its entirety along with other fan-favorites from the last decade and half to round out the set. Tickets are on sale now at sensesfail15.com.

You can try to bring us down, but we’ll come around, like a ‘Boomerang!'”
In other Amaranthe news, singer Jake E. has confirmed his exit from the band. Below is his statement on the matter:
“After eight years and four albums, I have decided to leave Amaranthe. I am extremely proud of the band and what we’ve accomplished together.

WITHERFALL Streaming Debut “Nocturnes And Requiems”
WITHERFALL Streaming Debut “Nocturnes And Requiems” via Loudwire
Debut Album Out This Friday!
| “Witherfall have everything going for them: superb chops, a keen sense for melody, an excellent grasp on songwriting and the ability to tie all that together into a package that sounds like wholly their own.” -Metal Sucks-
“What a magnificent gift this was to us, the fans of Metal. Rest easy, Adam, for you and your band mates has come up with what could be one of the highlight releases of 2017.” -Hard Rock Haven- “Nocturnes And Requiems is a must buy for fans of great technical metal.” -Sea of Tranquility |
| Based out of Los Angeles, Calif., WITHERFALL is the collective brainchild of guitarist Jake Dreyer (Iced Earth, Kobra And The Lotus, White Wizzard), singer Joseph Michael (White Wizzard) and the late Adam Sagan (Circle II Circle, Into Eternity). The recording lineup is rounded out with the addition of acclaimed Bassist Anthony Crawford (Allan Holdsworth, Virgil Donati).
WITHERFALL will release their debut “Nocturnes And Requiems” this February 10th! But before they do, the band has teamed up with Loudwire for a full album stream of “Nocturnes And Requiems”. Head HERE to listen to the entire new album and check out an exclusive interview with the band. Digital, CD, and Vinyl pre-orders are available HERE. Vinyl colors include black and a commemorative Adam Sagan translucent (limited to 100 copies). WITHERFALL headed to Phoenix, Ariz. to self-produce their debut album, “Nocturnes And Requiems”, with engineer Ralph Patlan (Megadeth, Brian “Head” Welch, MSG) in late 2014. The album was then sent on to New York City for mixing and mastering by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Rob Zombie, Queensrÿche, Hatebreed) at Planet Z. Resulting in eight masterfully executed tracks featuring the group’s dynamic blend of darkened melodic and progressive metal. “Nocturnes And Requiems” is dedicated to the life of Adam Sagan who passed on December 7, 2016 during the final stages of production. The band collectively commented, “This, as we know, is the last piece of work that Adam contributed and played on. Adam’s talent, passion and personality is woven throughout every part of this record as he was easily 1/3 of the creative force. “Nocturnes and Requiems” was a name that Adam eerily came up with one evening when we were figuring out album titles would not have sounded the way it does now without his immense contribution on and off the drums. Adam, we love you and it’s a tragedy that you were not able to see this release. You will always and forever be a member of WITHERFALL. Rest In Peace man.”
“Nocturnes And Requiems” Track Listing 1. Portrait 2.What We are Dying For 3. Act II 4. Sacrifice 5. The Great Awakening 6. End of Time (watch) 7. Finale 8. Nobody Sleeps Here Anymore

TAKING BACK SUNDAY Debuts Video For “Call Coming Running”
TAKING BACK SUNDAY
Debuts Video For “Call Coming Running”
TAKING BACK SUNDAY have debuted their music video for “Call Come Running” via PAPER MAGAZINE. Featured on the band’s seventh studio album TIDAL WAVE which debuted at #8 on the iTunes chart, the video, directed by Djay Brawner, is a loose sequel to the previous video for “You Can’t Look Back” which found vocalist Adam Lazzara suffering from an unidentified bloody affliction. Fans will be excited to see several special cameos in the new video, including Lazzara’s father.
Proving to be “the most personal video yet for frontman Adam Lazzara,” Paper Magazine reports, “A story of renewal and rebirth, that ends with a shot of Lazzara reemerging from a body of water to meet his (again, actual) family, it mirrors the album’s foray into themes of growing, adulthood and building families — a far cry from much of the rest of the band’s 18 years-worth of material.”
The band is gearing up for a UK and European tour with Frank lero and the Patience kicking off February 11 in Belfast. Shortly after, the band will be making their way down under to Australia and New Zealand, with Acceptance opening during the Australia dates [March 15 – 23]. On March 26, the band will be making a stop in Hawaii at The Republik.
In May, Taking Back Sunday will be tackling the U.S. festival circuit at Rocklahoma, Rock On the Range, Carolina Rebellion, and the Bud Light River City Rockfest in San Antonio, TX.
Taking Back Sunday is Adam Lazzara (vocals), John Nolan (guitars, vocals), Eddie Reyes (guitars), Shaun Cooper (bass), and Mark O’Connell (drums). TIDAL WAVE was released via Hopeless Records in 2016 and was produced by Mike Sapone (O’Brother, Mansions) in Charlotte, NC and mixed by Claudius Mittendorpher (Weezer, Drowners, Ra Ra Riot).
