Indie Vision Music is proud to present the long-awaited new full-length release from legendary post-hardcore punk band THE BLAMED. This release comes on the heels of last fall’s split with The Satire that garnered critical acclaim and further cemented their impact as one of our generation’s hardest hitting powerhouses. Mixing equal parts heaviness and raw delivery with the enlightened lyrics of a band with a lot to say. “The Church Is Hurting People” is a cry out for change and a message of love for those searching for meaning in this life.

Bio: The pioneering Christian punk / hardcore / post-hardcore band, The Blamed, originated in Northern California in the early 1990s, with original members Bryan Gray and Jim Chaffin at the forefront. They not only went on to extensively tour North America and Europe, but consistently would boldly forge into new and creative musical paths in Christian music, always relevant and ahead of the curve. They were one of the first bands ever signed to the legendary Tooth & Nail Records, and released 7 records before going on hiatus in the mid-2000’s. Each release progressed from the original old-school punk-rock style to more sophisticated and progressive post-hardcore articulations.

After over a decade of playing in other bands and pursuits, The Blamed has reformed, with original founding members Bryan Gray on guitar and vocals, and Jim Chaffin on drums, also now with Sid Duffour on bass and vocals, and Jeff Locke on guitar and vocals. These four friends began writing new music and composing songs to present to dedicated fans of The Blamed, with the musical style leaning toward the intense hardcore punk of the classic ”Frail” album, but with the refinement and creativity of their post-hardcore records.

As of September 2019, their long-awaited new record, “The Church Is Hurting People,” is being released on Indie Vision Music on vinyl, CD and electronic format, with guest appearances by the industrial/metal legend Klank, Jesse Hawley (vocalist of the post-hardcore metal band, The Satire), and Jesse Ewan, the legendary FOH engineer of the legendary Chicago venue the Double Door and vocalist/guitarist of the popular gritty punk band, Speed Babes.

(review) Joliette-Luz Devora(Zegema Beach Records)

Joliette are relatively young Mexican band and this is their most accomplished record up to date with 12 songs running in circa one hour time out with Zegema Beach Records.

This is pretty original hardcore band with mixture of post hardcore, emo, screamo and noise thrown in the song structures. The songs sound chaotic at the time while first listening but in fact, they are mathematically correct and the musicianship of these guys is just astounding. One thing that I must emphasize is the beast of a drummer holding all that rhytm changes from the fast aggressive stuff in Muletilla Japonesa accross complicated beats of Strathos, the drummer is a beast sounding like ten hands instead of two. The guitars are nervous, at the time really chaotic, yet in fact there are gentle emotional themes underneath it all. I love harmonica in some songs and the atmosphere of the whole record, the vibe it creates, kinda sad and melancholic, but also gives kinda hope. I hear that band has been banned from the USA for 5 years, so all the proceedings from the record go to them, so go get one, you won´t regret it!

(news)JX Arket Sign To Antigony Records! New Album “About Existence” Out In October!

Antigony Records is proud to welcome to the family JX Arket! Born in 2016, JX Arket! are a band from Turin (Italy). Their roots perforate the post-hardcore/metal and post-punk sounds from the late 1990s-early 2000s. The band’s music has a distinctive emotional charge and an authentic hardcore attitude, making their sound truly unique. On October 2017 they released their debut album “Meet Me Abroad” and they have shared many stages around Italy and participated in some important festivals on the post-hardcore and metal scene. Furthermore, they have successfully completed an intense tour around the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary, promoting the release of their first album.

2019 marks the beginning of an important chapter for JX Arket!, as the band joins the Antigony Records and Antigony Agency roster, through which JX Arket are ready to publish their second work “About Existence”, a concept album which is the result of a conscious personal and artistic maturation, and is entirely focused on the futility of existence. The album will be released on October 11th in digital and physical.

This is what the band had to say: “It’s a real pleasure to join the Antigony family. We’ve always given significant importance to the people at Antigony. In these guys, not only did we see a part of ourselves, but we also found very professional staff. Winter is coming, folks!”.

And about the album: “‘About Existence’ is a flow of anger, love, rejection and acceptance towards the futility of existence. This EP lacerates our certainties, describing man as an extra in an unstable yet perfect balance, constantly moved by the infinite pulsation of the universe. Seven emotional tracks through which the uselessness of our life emerges violently. Our existence is like the hectic dance of a candle flame which is destined to eventually go out. Death is about existence”.
