Armageddon

Description

Vancouver's hard-rock icons ART OF DYING are set to release a new studio album, "Armageddon", later in 2019.The band today release the first single from the album - "Cut It All Away" - a perfect introduction to the bands sound and style. Already released in the USA, the single received over 30,000 streams in one week!The Art Of Dying story starts with their talismanic frontman Jonny Hetherington. From hours busking on the corners of frozen streets to gatecrashing some of North America's biggest venues, to writing and recording records of truly earth-shattering proportions, the trajectory of the quartet's career has astonished both fans and industry insiders alike.ART OF DYING have been able to create muscular, vivacious hard-rock bursting with lung-shattering choruses and a sincerity that is impossible to fake. Equally at home with a lead-fingered riff or a deft slow-burner, there is an ease of breadth in AOD's repertoire."I was blown away when I first heard their independent record," enthuses DISTURBED guitarist Dan Donegan. "I lived with it for quite a while and I was so impressed with the quality of the songwriting that I had a feeling there was something special going on. David (DISTURBED vocalist David Draiman) and I had been looking for someone to sign to our imprint for a while, but I wanted to make sure the guys could do it live - it's hard to find a band that are the complete package these days. So, we invited them out on a DISTURBED tour of America, we really threw them in the deep end!"The band introduced guitarist Tavis Stanley and bassist Cale Gontier to their ranks on the eve of the run with DISTURBED - the quartet playing onstage together for the very first time during the soundcheck of the opening show of the tour. But suddenly, everything clicked. "The moment I knew that we had it right was when our voices started harmonizing," says Hetherington, of the band's now-trademark three-way vocals for which David Draiman has dubbed them "Eagles in Chains" referencing a blend of 70s supergroup The Eagles.
