By Jason •
The gods of extreme metal rise from the ashes, unleashing a new anthem and a bold plan to fund their upcoming album.

After a staggering 15 years of silence, Northern California's extreme metal titans ALL SHALL PERISH have returned with a vengeance, unveiling their blistering new single "Be As Kings, Be As Gods." This ferocious track, expertly crafted by the legendary Zack Ohren (MACHINE HEAD, FALLUJAH), marks the first taste of new material since their last offering in 2011, igniting a firestorm of excitement among their devoted legion of fans.

In a move that underscores their DIY spirit, ALL SHALL PERISH has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for their forthcoming album, aiming to shatter the long-standing drought of new music. The band’s frontman, Hernan "Eddie" Hermida, has co-founded the new music company, Arson Theory, to produce this monumental comeback. On their Kickstarter page, the band declared, "Back after all these years. Ready to produce a NEW ALBUM, WITH YOUR HELP! And… WE DID NOT COME EMPTY HANDED! WE HAVE A NEW SONG!!!!" The energy is palpable, and the stakes are high.

In an emotional plea, ALL SHALL PERISH expressed gratitude to their fans, acknowledging the relentless support that kept their spirits alive during a tumultuous decade plagued by legal battles and internal strife. "Fifteen years, FIFTEEN YEARS you have been waiting for new music. Every single day on the internets, you let us know that just disappearing was unacceptable," they stated, a testament to the undying loyalty of their fanbase that has stood firm through thick and thin.

Striking out on their own, ALL SHALL PERISH is committed to creating this new album independently, free from the constraints of record labels or management. With a lofty goal of $75,000, they promise to unleash a second new track once they hit the target. The funds will be allocated for critical aspects of the album's production, including recording, videos, promotion, and more, ensuring that every dollar goes towards crafting a metal masterpiece.

As if that wasn't enough to whet the appetite of metalheads everywhere, ALL SHALL PERISH is currently on the road, celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their groundbreaking album "The Price Of Existence." The tour kicked off on September 4 in Fresno and will culminate on October 3 in San Jose, showcasing the band’s legendary lineup featuring Hermida, guitarists Chris Storey and Ben Orum, bassist Adrian Oropeza, and drummer Andrew Baird. It's a triumphant return to the stage that no true metal fan can afford to miss.

Once cast aside in the chaos of the past, ALL SHALL PERISH has risen anew, ready to reclaim their rightful place in the pantheon of extreme metal. With a new single, a grassroots funding campaign, and a celebratory tour, the metal gods are indeed smiling down upon us.
