1 min read

With members of various other projects like SPITFIRE (Solid State), THE TAKEOVER (Stillborn Records), VETTER KIDS (Texas Is Funny), UGLYTWIN, DSGNS (Pluto Records), HUNDRED YEAR STORM (Floodgate Records) and LOVE BEGOTTEN, Austin, TX based chaotic hardcore act THE BEARER is made up of seasoned musicians who realize what arranging is and what gives an effect in the demanding listener’s soul. Drawing also from their influences of various niches and mutations of metal and hardcore, these guys out on shows full of energy and zeal and have managed to craft a truly impressive offering XXXX. Their new single “Hellwalker” is a great way to connect with their work and see what they have in store for mid March. Listen below and be sure to check out pre-orders at this (vinyl) and this (digital) locations. “The Fiction” EP is being co-released by Blasphemour Records and Coin Toss Records.

The band offered the following about the track:

Lyrically, this song is about one of my all time favorite video games, DOOM. I was stoked when they released the newest one(2016). I’ve always liked the imagery of Hell and Mars blending
together. In the newest version the Space Marine is part of a line of alien knights (kinda like reincarnation). This song is supposed to be a prophecy based on some of the totems you come across in the game. Each one had a rather lengthy story about the Doom Slayer and his conquest of Hell. – Aaron (Vocals)

Hell Walker is the second track on the record and continues the look into our band with furiously wondering riffs and then a melodic chorus. It also brings out the aggressive sound with some sweet grooves laid down by the drums and bass. The bridge brings in an off beat break and leads you into an almost throwback breakdown. – Michael (Guitar)

 

“Fiction” was recorded in Austin with Andrew Hernandez (The Sword, Mammoth Grinder) at Estuary Recording Facility. Digital master by Simon Sludge (Nightmarer, War From A Harlots Mouth), and vinyl master by Alan Douches of West West Side Music. The vinyl edition of “Fiction” will be pressed on transparent deep purple with royal blue and yellow splatter 7″. Artwork done by Alexandre Goulet (Despised Icon, Meet the Mailman). This sophomore release from The Bearer features concept songs based on science fiction movies, books, TV shows and video games such as Dune, Blade Runner, The X-files, and Doom.

Catch the band live at:

Metal Monsters Of Texas Fest / March 11th – Austin, TX @ Grizzly Hall
Dirty Fest / March 14th – Austin, TX @ Dirty Dog Bar
