For Today have announced the title and theme behind their new album. Portraits, set to be released on June 9th, is For Today's sophomore album on Facedown Records and centers around "the fathers of the faith." Vocalist Mattie Montgomery had this to say about the new album:

"We've been locked up for over 2 months now, pouring ourselves into our new album, Portraits. We are excited and proud to say that, finally, it's finished! All of our new material is technically creatively and spiritually far above anything we've put out in the past. You can expect Portraits to be heavier catchier and more technical than our previous album Ekklesia and for it to stand with more authority and conviction than ever before."

4/21/09 BURY YOUR DEAD: New Album Track Listing Revealed.

Boston, Massachusetts-based hardcore/metal band BURY YOUR DEAD will release its new album, "It's Nothing Personal", on May 26 via Victory Records. The track listing for the CD is as follows: 01. Hurting Not Helping 02. Without You 03. Broken Body 04. The Great Demonizer 05. Dead End Lovesong 06. Swan Song 07. Lakota 08. The Forgotten 09. Lion's Den 10. Legacy of Ashes 11. Closed Eyes 12. Enough Guitarist Brendan "Slim" MacDonald previously stated about the group's new material: "I say it every time we go into the studio: 'This is the best thing ever that we have ever written ever and it's meaningful because and ever and stuff,' but let's be honest — [2008] for us hasn't been anything short of a shitty coin toss. Between the awesome tours and heading overseas twice, there were a fair amount of remedial bullshit to have to get over, and I promise you will hear about most of it somehow or another on the record. "This record has it all. You will be able to circle pit in your bedroom and make out with your girlfriend/boyfriend to it! Best of both worlds, I know. I mean, if you're into that kind of thing, then you'll like it, I guess."

4/21/09 Suicide Silence Post New Track.

Big things are afoot for these LA metal-lords if this one's anything to go by. Suicide Silence have posted the new track 'Lifted' onto their MySpace page. The track comes from their upcoming album, 'No Time To Bleed', due out on June 29th on Cenutry Media. A recent blog post has frontman Mitch Lucker saying: ""There is absolutely no doubt that this is our strongest effort to date. We've all grown quite a bit as musicians over the last few years. The last record was tracked in a live setting over a period of two weeks and this time around we've carefully crafted a record on an even larger scale with Machine's services at the helm. This is a huge step in the right direction for us."

4/13/2009 ZAO RELEASES ANOTHER NEW SONG! ZAO RELEASES ANOTHER NEW SONG! ZAO have debuted a new song, Entropica on their myspace www.myspace.com/zao from their forthcoming full-length Awake? In addition to the song, the band has given the myspace page a facelift reflecting the new effort. ZAO also recently debuted the first single from the album titled What Will You Find? Produced by the band’s own Scott Mellinger and mixed at Lambesis Studios (with As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis and Daniel Castleman), Awake? is slated for release on May 5th and will be a digital release with a limited and numbered physical pressing.

EARTH FROM ABOVE

If you don’t know about this band you should , Earth from Above growl and sneer their way through their live sets, with two studied metal vocalists at the helm; and their shows are just a taste of the sounds on Earth From Above's new album Numbered With The Transgressors. Josh Cortez and Kevin Walsh front the band with great intensity and dexterity, fluidly dueling death growls and guttural screams. They're backed by the skillful intricacies of Anthony Hernandez, Oscar Mora and Roy Quezada who showcase considerable technique on guitar and bass. The blast beat prowess of Mike Cano provides a solid foundation to carry Earth from Above's zeal for adrenalized metal which comes from influences like All Shall Perish, Living Sacrifice, Acacia Strain, Meshuggah and Falling Cycle.

OCEANO

If there was ever a band to add credibility to the widely despised and often trendy and overly negatively judged subgenre of deathcore, that band is OCEANO. To be completely fair, the Chicago-based quartet is closer to an evolved and diverse take on modern death metal than they are to the throngs of faceless "breakdown-grind-groove-grind-breakdown" bands out there clamoring for the same ninth-grader's dollar, but many of the elements are present. Present, but very refined and much more effective than the examples given by those who have watered-down this brand of metal before it ever really got going. At first glance, "Depths" is a rabid and rampaging pit bull on a mindless binge of violence and rage. The hate that seethes from tracks like "A Mandatory Sacrifice" and the particularly technical and bruising "Inhuman Affliction" is enough to take down a horse, but OCEANO is much more than just piss and vinegar. Tech-minded string shredding and evocative melodies add a dark aura of brutality to "Samael The Destroyer" while atmospheric soloing and richly layered guitars lift "District Of Misery", "Plague Campaign" and "With Legions" (which boasts a strong NILE influence) far above the status quo were tunes of this ferocity are concerned. Speed-addled quickies, "Fractured Frames, Scattered Flesh" and "Empathy For Leviathan" show a bit of a grind-y side to the band. Stepping as far outside of the death metal/deathcore box as they possibly can while still holding strong to the brutality and forcefulness portrayed by its accompanying twelve tunes, the instrumental title track is one of the most surprising songs included on an album with breakdowns. After several moments of intrinsically dark, yet brightly melodious and well-structured guitar work, OCEANO chug their way into more strike and rhythmic battery.

In some regards, "Depths" comes very close to doing what WHITECHAPEL did with "This Is Exile", if you focus on and stop with the snarling, detuned guitars, punchy production and overly-guttural vocals. Scratch beneath the surface and you'll see that OCEANO has produced an album that surpasses the aforementioned and all others in its class. As atmospheric and intelligently written as it is venomous and violent, "Depths" has just made deathcore an acceptable label.
