After only a few moments of listening to TEAR OUT THE HEART, the infectious choruses and sinister vocals will be ringing in your head for days to come. Elements of hardcore combined with dark and aggressive metal is what makes TEAR OUT THE HEART's signature sound. With a promising musical career ahead of them the Midwestern quintuplets inked a deal with Victory Records in August 2012 andwill soon be leaving their mark on the metal community.
Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, TEAR OUT THE HEART formed in 2011 and is comprised of lead vocalist, Tyler Konersman, Isaac Etter on bass/clean vocals, guitarists Josh Spohr and Matthieu Murphy and Matt Epstein on drums. The inception of the band was founded on the principle that there are to be no "weak links" in the group. The band unanimously agreed that when this lineup had gotten together in one room it was instant energy and everything just clicked. From that day on the rest was history.
Highly charged and powerful live shows are the best way to see TEAR OUT THE HEART communicate their message to fans. Konersman's realist and often intense lyrics tie everything together creating a unique metal experience unlike any other. Malicious guitar riffs and monstrous breakdowns are all evidently present within their sound. Their music can be compared to the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice & Men and As I Lay Dying.
Profoundly ambitious and equally talented, TEAR OUT THE HEART, proudly released Violence, their forthcoming album on March 19th, 2013. Even before its release, singles from the album were streamed and listened to over 67,000 times, proving their passion for playing is matched tenfold by the quality of their performance. Called "aggressive and explosive" by Outburn Magazine and "heavy as hell" by Big Cheese Magazine, Violence embodied what TEAR OUT THE HEART is all about - delivering dynamic metalcore anthems capable of stopping you in your tracks.
Taking their time to fine-tune their sound, TEAR OUT THE HEART have created their sophomore effort, promising to be even more destructive and haunting than its predecessor. Recorded by Caleb Shomo (Attack Attack!, Beartooth), Dead, Everywhere is 14-track collection of TEAR OUT THE HEART's most impressive instrumentation and major-league sized choruses. Demonstrating their pop-punk sensibilities and metal chops, Dead, Everywhere will remind fans everywhere why Outburn Magazine dubbed TEAR OUT THE HEART "the offspring of all of your favorite heavy bands."
Dead, Everywhere will be available everywhere on October 28th, 2014.
