Upon a Burning Body release new song, Red Razor Wrists and catch them on Mayhem Fest!

July 2, 2014

So after all the hysteria over the publicity post for Upon A Burning Body from earlier today, they have released a bad ass new track! As I mentioned earlier in my post, I hope people just get over it and move forward. Publicity stunts have been around for ages and will continue to be around. It is a form of art and is used in a dramatic effect to create an element of mystery, anticipation and so much more. Sadly, we now live in hyper-sensitive and overly magnified world in which within minutes news travels as is no longer considered a “hype” or “build-up”. I have always loved the music of Upon a Burning Body and will continue to. So with that said, check out their fierce new track: I look forward to catching them this weekend as they head out on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Check the dates below and get yourself to a show! Band Members: Danny – Vocals CJ- Guitar Ruben- Bass Sal- Guitar Make sure to visit their social [Read More]

Sumerian releases statement on Upon a Burning Body publicity stunt

July 2, 2014

Here is the statement that just posted on Sumerian FaceBook Page about the report of Danny Leal Missing: I woke up to a ton of missed calls and just saw all this stuff about Danny Leal of UABB posing as that he’s been abducted or kidnapped. My phone hasn’t stopped ringing since. As a child, we all learn the story “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and it sticks within our consciousness for a reason. I do not condone this type of publicity stunt. This was done behind my back and I am not OK with it. In my eyes, there’s never a time to use the possibility of real-life abduction, injury or murder of someone you care about to promote anything, especially an album. If you need to resort to that, then you have lost the plot. We as a society should have evolved past that way of thinking by now and especially within the rock/metal community, given all the tragedy that has happened in our world over the past few years. There are some [Read More]
