covus_infernalis these guys put on a show live. it's an all out assault. I've seen them three times in the uk, every time they bring an energy to the stage that is raw and perceived by everyone in the venue. the drummer is an absolute beast, that man could keep you going on a comedown. he hits harder than a freight train on steroids. the vocalist/guitarist is just as vicious. how he doesn't go through a pack of strings a song is beyond me. the bassist throws his guitar around like it's trying to kill him. epic. Favorite track: Palm Reader.

about

Having toured relentlessly with massive acts like Sepultura, Crowbar, Hatebreed, 36Crazyfists and Napalm Death in support of their first two records, Defeat (2009, Ironclad/Metal Blade) and The Road Will End (2013, Candlelight), not to mention successfully crowdfunding their way to obliterate stages across Europe, Northern California brutally powerful four-piece Armed for Apocalypse are overdue for an epic return.

Ahead of their long-awaited new album, A4A deliver Palm Reader, a crushing 4-song EP that re-establishes and re-energizes their blend of jugular-smashing sludge and dextrous forays into deathcore, haunting melodicism, and post-metal.

Previous Press:

"The thickest, most punishingly-heavy aural savagery your ears will fall victim to." - Kerrang (perfect KKKKK review)

"[A4A] crafts a rather killer soundtrack for the end of days. Slow, fast, punk, thrash, doom... it’s all in here, often at once." - MetalSucks

"No surly, slurring interludes, just sheer punishing heft delivered with cavernous guitars and vocals that range from pained screams to demonic death metal roars and bellows." -Teeth of the Divine

"I have a long-term, insuppressible appetite for music that’s heavy, brutal and uncompromising. New bands that scratch that itch for me are few and far between, but Armed For Apocalypse fit the bill perfectly with their raw and vicious stoner metal." - Frank Turner

"You have got to admire a band that kicks subtlety right in the balls and instead takes a musical approach akin to smacking someone in the mouth with board full of rusty nails." - Blabbermouth

about

Armed for Apocalypse Chico, California

Armed for Apocalypse don't play dress-up and they don't turn down. They just play crushing songs that go from slow to slower, from muck to mire, from mosh to circle-pit. And sometimes they'll make a left turn and end up at epic. Simply put, it's rock 'n' roll music tuned way down and pissed way off. ... more

Mire
by Conjurer

supported by 14 fans who also own “Palm Reader EP”

this album is one of a handful in the last few years that has taken over my playlist seemingly overnight and I can't get enough of. I used to obsess over an album for a couple months and then move on, but not this one. the obsession has taken root in my soul and Mire is now part of the fabric of my being. dramatic, I know. but I need more. I need to see this live, come tour the US !!!! klarvaken

Orange Mathematics

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

A thing of vicious beauty. A joining of minds from different planets, yet they still revolve around the same visceral star. Amazing. Grimmrobe

Etemen Ænka
by DVNE

supported by 12 fans who also own “Palm Reader EP”

An album of immense power, creativity, and replay value wherein each listen reveals a little more, Etemen Ænka is where DVNE shed the obvious influences behind their sound and solidified their own take on progressive post-metal. When you hear it said that a band is “tight”, this is a great example: a group of musicians so totally in sync and playing as one, instead of merely several talented individuals performing together. Enjoy these glorious sounds, courtesy of the Kwisatz Haderach! Ippocalyptica
