Interview with Genocide District!

Faceook

Genre(s): Beatdown/Deathcore

Location: Orange County, CA

PSAB: Why did you choose the name "Genocide District" for you band?

GD: The name was chosen a long time ago by the brothers (Walter and Austin) They said they just thought of some cool words and put them together and it stuck over time. For me personally (Leland) I can think of a million things that "Genocide District" can mean and that may reflect through some of the lyrics that I've written in our songs.

PSAB: You recently released a new single, titled "Not Living, Just Existing." How has the feedback been for that single?

GD: The version of "Not Living, Just Existing" that we released was pre pro we had wrote a while back so we didn't hype it up as much as we would of liked to. On the other hand we have been getting great feedback from the pre pro so far. A different mixed and mastered version of the song along with a video made by DeadWolfDesigns will be released soon.

PSAB: As of this interview, you're not signed to any record label. If you had the choice to be signed to any label, which label would that be?

GD: It'd really depend on which label offers us the best options. Some of these labels are so tempting to get on because the bands you see on them seem to be doing so good but they want so much of what you earn and produce as a band, it turns you off to it. We'd rather keep pushing as a DIY band see what happens.

PSAB: How is the local metal scene in Orange County, CA?

GD: Shows in Orange County are off the hook. Face Your Maker and Seditionist are killing it at the moment with their new releases. All the shows in our area that we play with them continue to pop. We're so lucky to be from an area that puts out such great music.

PSAB: What bands did you listen to growing up, and do those bands play an influence in your music?

GD: We're heavily influenced by Sepultura, Korn, Slipknot and System Of A Down. We all listened to these bands growing up and it definitely shows through our music.

PSAB: Do you have anything to say to your fans?

GD: Keep jamming our songs. Download that shit illegally, we don't give a fuck. All we want is for you guys to listen to our shit and mosh at our shows. Learn the lyrics and shout em out. We'll be in a city near you soon.

Immoralist Releases Cover For Slipknot's Song "Psychosocial"

We Are Triumphant signed beatdown band, Immoralist, released a cover of Slipknot's song "Psychosocial." The song is taken from Slipknot's third full length album Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses, and it was released through BeheadingTheTraitor's YouTube channel. For those Slipknot fans, don't be turned away from this cover, Immoralist does the song justice with their spin on the song.

Unbibium - CXXII [REVIEW]

Facebook

Purchase

Genre(s): Progressive Deathcore

CXXII is Unbibium's debut EP, and was released on May 1, 2014 through Razor Tooth Records. The band combines elements of beatdown hardcore and progressive metal to bring a heavy-hitting sound of progressive deathcore. However, even though it is on the side of heaviness, nothing really stands out in the EP. I will go more into detail later about that.

 

 The EP is seven tracks long and provides the listener with roughly 30 minutes worth of listening material. For the price they put on the album, it is worth the purchase. Unbibium combines elements beatdown with progressive metal, but in some songs there is more of one than the other. The more progressive songs on the album are "Obsession," "Perilous Progress," and "Monsters." The others that are more on the beatdown side of things are "Lions," "War Machine," and "CXXII." The last song, "Destroyer," has a nice combination of both beatdown and progressive. That being said, "Destroyer" is my favorite song on the album.

CXXII is a solid EP and is a step in the right direction for Unbibium. They have released a well put together deathcore album, and the only thing they can do is improve upon CXXII with their next release. To reiterate what I said in the introduction, nothing really stood out to me in the album. I found myself listening to it and not realizing I was on the last song, as the songs sound very similar and mesh together in a listen through, even with the songs' respective differences. Other than that, CXXII is well worth the asking fee, so pick it up if you're into progressive deathcore with beatdown influences!

Score: 3.5/5

Float Face Down call it quits

It sucks to see a band you enjoy call it quits, but things do happen within the band and they don't enjoy being a band anymore and call it quits. That is what happened here, for beatdown band Float Face Down. They earlier today announced they have called it quits. Here is the official statement by the band via their Facebook page,

"We are very sorry to announce that we have had to call it quits as Float Face Down. We all had and still have a very strong desire to play music but we cannot keep a core group that can consistently tour due to the economy. We are holding a final show in Howell, NJ @ GameChanger on May 24th. We sincerely hope to see all of our friends there who've been with us since day 1. We WILL be playing old songs and will be bringing whatever merch we have left and selling it for really cheap. We want to thank you to everyone who's ever done anything for us on tour or promotion wise or supported us in any way. It's been a long ride and we are very lucky to have experienced the things we did. We will be announcing the final lineup within the next few days for the final show. We apologize to those out of state or country for those who never got to see us, we are as bummed out as you are. We love you guys. -FFD"

Feign releases new lyric video for new song "Decay"

Deathcore/beatdown band, Feign, released a new song and lyric video earlier today through BeheadingTheTraitor. This song goes fucking hard. If you enjoyed Villains new song "Problem Child" you'll definitely enjoy this, maybe even more so.

Immoralist releases new song "Rotten Teeth"

Beatdown/deathcore band, Immoralist, released a new song earlier today titled "Rotten Teeth" through BeheadingTheTraitor. The band is currently signed to We Are Triumphant, and I am assuming their next album will be released through them as well. I highly recommend you give this track a go.
