Boston metallic hardcore outfit Firewalker will be putting out their sophomore album, “Hell Bent“, on June 28th through Triple B Records. Just arriving from that outing is the new single, “Carry My Own Torch“. Drummer Sasha Stroud oversaw the production, mixing and mastering duties for this new record at her own Artifact Audio studio.
Guitarist Cecelia Halle commented:
“After being a band for nearly ten years, we wanted to create an album that captured how we have progressed musically, both in terms of instrumentation and inspiration. Since the beginning of Firewalker, we have drawn inspiration from Madball’s progression as a band: starting with the simplicity and genius of ‘Ball of Destruction’ and developing towards heavier and metallic albums like ‘Set it Off.’
With that in mind, the writing of the album drew heavily from our influences in hardcore and metal—trying to capture the spirit of late 80s metallic hardcore while holding true to our roots as a Boston hardcore band.”
