Legendary NYHC veterans BIOHAZARD just revealed the cover art for the bands highly anticipated new album “Reborn In Defiance“ which is set to be unleashed January 20, 2012 via Nuclear Blast.

Danny Schuler says, “Being a huge fan of vinyl records and the amazing sleeve artwork that used to come with them, I really wanted our artwork to be unique. In the spirit of being REBORN IN DEFIANCE, the album cover represents to me an interesting paradox: an embryo, not yet spoiled by the world, but already possessing the heart of a rebel.”

Billy Graziadei explains, “The innocence of youth has always been a strong subject for us, with the children playing over a crime scene on the Urban Discipline album cover to the child running with a biological gas mask on the State of the World Address cover. For REBORN IN DEFIANCE, an unborn child waits to be thrown into a world that will steal the untainted purity of infancy we all start out with.”

Danny sums up the cover art’s significance quite simply: “It all begins in the womb”.

FAREWELL TO ARMS – Signs With Massacre Records

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, metal odyssey, Music, progressive metal, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , on November 26, 2011 by Metal Odyssey

Landsberg am Lech back in 2007 – FAREWELL TO ARMS were born. Melodic, uncompromising, technically ambitious, versatile and curious – that’s how you could characterize the band.

Their goal is to define themselves without following any trends: FAREWELL TO ARMS are not one of those typical Metal bands and they won’t play the music you’ve heard a thousand times before! They have a unique style, which combines a lot of Death Metal, Thrash Metal, Progressive and Hardcore elements.

Their first 4-track EP “Exhalation”, which was produced by Corni Bartels (Hackneyed, End of Green), was released in late 2010.

After numerous live gigs, also at various festivals, FAREWELL TO ARMS were also finalists of this year’s New Blood Awards. So they also played at the Summer Breeze Open Air with Davidian, who are now their label mates.

In spring 2012 FAREWELL TO ARMS are going to enter the Weltraumstudios in Munich to record their debut album with Corni Bartels.

Welcome on board, guys!

Lineup:

Manuel Lotter – Drums

Dominik Martin – Vocals

Johannes Denk – Guitar

Gordian Golder – Guitar

Roland Gallus – Bass
