Perth, Australia's Leviathan Of The Sea has released its new, freely available self-titled EP via http://leviathanofthesea.com. Led by Matthew Leonard Rowe (formerly of Anime Fire), LOTS is as much a solo musical endeavour as it is a provocative philosophical platform. Taking issue with the modern music industry, the lack of serious subject matter in heavy music (and the way it is typically produced) along with the rising attack on Science and Reason, LOTS is nothing short of a brutal 'push back' against complacency. Combining the down tuned heaviness of Roots-era Sepultura and the emotive, technical proficiency of New American Gospel-era Lamb of God, LOTS self-titled 5 song EP is hard hitting and uncompromising. Produced by Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Sick of it All, August Burns Red), the EP is a return to form with regards to recording. There's no sound replacement, no beat locking, no programming- nothing done to change the sounds that were created live off of the floor. Featurin...

Bullet Tooth is excited to announce the worldwide signing of Dead Icons. Dead Icons is a hardcore band from Lexington, Kentucky and has been a band for about two and a half years. They weren't from a prominent city in the hardcore scene, didn't have a friend in a popular hardcore band, or have any members of any past notable bands. So instead of giving up, they set out to achieve their goals by sheer hard work and continuing to push through when times got tough and most bands would back out. The band started from members of several local bands who shared the same dream of being able to tour, and at the end of 2008 they decided to pursue their dream and released a six song demo. Shortly after this, and after a few of the members either graduated high school or dropped everything they were doing, the band completed a self booked full U.S. tour. A few months after the demo came out, Dead Icons put out five songs on a split CD with a band called Unrestrained (VT). After the release of t...
