ALL SHALL PERISH Unleashes 'Led To Slaughter' – A Sonic Onslaught After 15 Years
The Northern California extreme metal titans ALL SHALL PERISH have re-emerged from the shadows, unleashing their second single in a staggering 15 years, a ferocious track titled "Led To Slaughter." Hot on the heels of their earlier release, "Be As Kings, Be As Gods," this new assault was unleashed through the band’s own label, Arson Theory, co-founded by the fierce frontman Hernan "Eddie" Hermida. Produced by the renowned Zack Ohren, known for his work with MACHINE HEAD and FALLUJAH, the new single is a testament to the band's relentless spirit.
"Led To Slaughter" marks a pivotal moment for ALL SHALL PERISH, as it comes on the heels of a triumphant Kickstarter campaign that smashed its $75,000 goal. This financial backing will fuel the creation of the band's first new album since their 2011 offering, and fans can expect a raw, unfiltered representation of their aggressive sound. The funding breakdown is astoundingly straightforward: $30,000 earmarked for finishing the recording, with additional funds allocated for videos, promotion, and mastering, ensuring that every dollar is maximized for a killer outcome.
In a bold move, ALL SHALL PERISH is stepping into the independent realm, currently navigating the music industry without a record label or manager. This DIY approach is not just a statement; it's a declaration of autonomy in a scene that often tries to box artists in. The band is determined to carve their path, and with the fervor of their fanbase behind them, the future looks brighter than ever.
The band is currently on the road celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark album, "The Price Of Existence," which catapulted them into the extreme metal spotlight back in 2006. Kicking off on September 4 in Fresno, California, the tour is a brutal reminder of their legacy, concluding on October 3 in San Jose. This current lineup, featuring Hermida alongside guitarists Chris Storey and Ben Orum, bassist Adrian Oropeza, and drummer Andrew Baird, is set to deliver a setlist dripping with nostalgia and raw power.
It’s a tale of resilience too, as the band's history is marked by tumultuous changes, including the controversial firing of Hermida back in 2013 when he stepped in as the vocalist for SUICIDE SILENCE. However, the reunion in 2015 with Hermida and Storey, alongside founding members, has reignited the fire within ALL SHALL PERISH. This resurgence has rekindled the spirit of a band that refuses to be silenced, and fans should brace themselves for what's to come next.
