    Prosthetic Records Sign Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire

    11.03.10 @ 12:00 pm Posted by wookubus 

    Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire have inked a deal with Prosthetic Records. The band are currently recording their new album for the label with Dave Otero at Flatline Audio for a release later this year. For now, you can check them out here, while the official press release on their signing can be found below:

    (Los Angeles,CA) PROSTHETIC RECORDS has signed Denver, Colorado’s CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE. The band formed in 2006 and released an EP (“Harmonies From Bleeding Mouths“) that year, and released their first full-length, “Omega Drunk On The Blood Of Alpha” in 2008 on Debello Recordings. They’re currently recording their PROSTHETIC debut. Their sound has been referred to as “funeral grind,” as it’s “too slow for grindcore, too fast for doom,” and have been compared to the likes of Brutal Truth, Pig Destroyer, Discordance Axis, EyeHateGod and Napalm Death.

    Vocalist Ethan McCarthy commented on the signing and new album: “Our new CD is being recorded by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio (Cephalic Carnage, Catheter, Cobalt) and it is our most dynamic, bleakest, and dirtiest material to date. We can’t wait to go out and tour on this release, and we are proud to be a part of the PROSTHETIC roster.”

    CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE has toured tirelessly over the past several years throughout North America, and is currently planning a summer tour with Oregon’s BURIALS. The band will be appearing at PROSTHETIC’s South By Southwest showcase this Wednesday, March 16 at the Mohawk in Austin along with label-mates THE FUNERAL PYRE, BOOK OF BLACK EARTH, WITHERED, LANDMINE MARATHON and SCALE THE SUMMIT. The new album is slated for a late spring/early summer release.

  • Life Of Agony have inked a worldwide deal with I Scream Records. The first release through the new pairing will be a live CD/DVD capturing the bands upcoming April 03rd show at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium. The show is part of the bands “20 Years Strong Tour” and will find them playing their debut album “River Runs Red” in its entirety.

    Speaking on the project, band bassist Alan Robert offered the following:

    “We’re really excited to capture this moment in time. Twenty years man, that’s no joke! If you would’ve asked us when we were kids growin’ up in Brooklyn, if we thought that we’d ever make something this important to people around the world, we probably would’ve laughed in your face. But, here we are, still selling out shows after all this time and turning people’s tragedy into hope. Somehow, through the music, we’ve helped a lot of folks out there. And that’s what’s always been most important to us.”

    Dates for the bands aforementioned “20 Years Strong” European tour run as follows:

    April 02nd Eindhoven, NET – Effenaar
    April 03rd Brussels, BEL – Anciennce Belgique
    April 04th Bochum, GER – Matrix
