Emmure has announced the addition of Mark Costillo (ex-Bury Your Dead) as their new drummer.  Guitarist Jesse Ketive had this to say about the addition: “Mark Costillo has been a good friend for a few years now. Mark approached us as he heard through the grapevine that EMMURE needed a helping hand, so at that point I chatted with him about possibly recording our new CD and playing some shows. After jamming the set a few times we all decided that Mark was the perfect fit for us and undoubtedly should be our new drummer. He is the upmost professional and his work on the new effort in going to really help us bring everything to another level. Everyone better watch out." The band is currently in the studio with producer Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada) tracking their new album, with a release expected later this year via Sumerian.

 The Casket Lottery are the newest addition to the No Sleep Records family. No Sleep Records are proud to announce they will be releasing the band's yet to be titled fifth full length album mid-2012. "Whereas Kansas City's favorite sons are defined by their traditional harmonious and abrasive bombardment of punk and hardcore tenacity, they have now created tracks which are entirely more fleshed out than previous releases. No longer afraid of being limited as a trio, the sails have been cast into the water's trenches in order to further explore the boundaries of Casket Lottery’s own songs. Recorded at Black Lodge Recordings with Ed Rose in Eudora, KS during the Fall and Winter of 2011/2012, the band's latest will be a darker album than anything they've recorded in the past. Said direction was hinted at with "Survival is for Cowards" and "The Smoke and Mirrors EP" yet the "weight of the day" theme has been revisited to set the tone of goth punk songs that are as angry and triumphan...
