Here we are only days away from the start of this year’s Rockstar Mayhem Fest coming to the Bay Area at the Shoreline Amphitheater on July 6th. One of the bands has been getting quite a lot of attention as they get ready to release their new album, The World Is My Enemy Now. They are Upon a Burning Body and we have featured them as one of our Mayhem Fest spotlight bands. Their new album is set for an August 12th release through Sumerian Records.

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]

Check out our interview with Mattie of For Today and catch them on Warped Tour!

July 1, 2014

This year’s Vans Warped Tour has a lot of great bands and an amazing array of music which will satisfy everyone’s needs. I was excited when I heard that For Today would be playing on the Kia Soul Stage. They will be on the entire tour and they put on an amazing set. They come out and give 150% energy on the stage and the crowd is instantly adrenalized. Whatever time they are set to play, the crowd gets invigorated by their metal/hardcore set and the energy is contagious. I was ecstatic to catch them twice in the week and each time they delivered a fierce spot on set. We had the chance to chat with the inspring vocalist, Mattie Montgomerey before his set at the Wheatland California date. Mattie is truly one of the nicest guys and always has very inspirational advice. Whether you feel defeated, down, or facing a bump in the road, Mattie is always there to pick you p and let you know you can make it through anything. That is [Read More]
