SO HIDEOUS, MY LOVE... Record Release Party

When: July 25th, 2011

Where: The Charleston

174 Bedford Ave , Brooklyn NY

w/ openers Risk & Toaster

Time: 9:15pm

The party will be in celebration of the band's recently unleashed To Clasp A Fallen Wish With Broken Fingers EP (Play The Assassin Records).  A tasteful mesh of post-rock leanings (Envy, Mono, Godspeed You! Black Emperor) and adventurous black metal (Wolves In The Throne Room, Celeste) with classical beauty (Arvo Part, Beethoven), To Clasp A Fallen Wish With Broken Fingers has been reaping critical acclaim from fans and critics alike. Said Heavyblogisheavy.com: "Emotion pours out of every note as furious tremolo picking and string instruments paint somber bursts of melody under throaty and passionate screams and blasts." Decibel Magazine called the band "...blackened classical for people who love the idea of blood dripping cellos played with inverted crosses," while Exclaim added: "SO HIDEOUS, MY LOVE... are the most interesting and original heavy band you'll hear in a while."

The show will also showcase new members: Kevorikian drummer Danny Moncada and bassist Dan Galante. Moncada formerly played for NY death metal outfit Regain The Heart Condemned while Galante comes from Long Island grindcore thwarts, Lobster Apocalypse.

Commented guitarist Jack Marshall: "The Charleston show is our record release party and we're psyched as always to play out live especially after the hardships and turmoil we've had to deal with getting this record done. We went through a couple of personnel changes this past year, so this isn't only a showcase for the new EP but it's also a chance to introduce everybody to the new lineup. The sound is the same but somewhat heavier and we've matured musically and lyrically a lot as a band since our first EP and last live show."

SO HIDEOUS, MY LOVE... : NY Post-Black Metallers To Unleash New EP Via Play The Assassin Later This Month

Lurking beneath the surface of metal underground, NYC's own SO HIDEOUS, MY LOVE... have created a devastating musical hybrid of heart racing proportions. Fusing post rock leanings (Envy, Mono, Godspeed You! Black Emperor) and adventurous black metal (Wolves In The Throne Room, Celeste) with classical beauty (Arvo Part, Beethoven), SO HIDEOUS, MY LOVE... lay claim to the appropriately termed buzz moniker "post-black metal" with their newest offering, To Clasp A Fallen Wish With Broken Fingers. Born out of home recordings in the winter of 2008 by composer/guitarists Brandon Cruz and Jack Marshall, SO HIDEOUS, MY LOVE... self-released their debut EP, I Balance A Daydream On An Edge Of A Knife, in the Spring of 2010 to an outpouring of love from the heavy music community. To Clasp A Fallen Wish... serves as a companion piece to the band's first release and showcases a further maturation of engaging daydreams and paralyzing musical nightmares.

 

Said Cruz of the EP: "The word epic gets thrown around quite a bit online when listeners/press/bloggers/ describe what they hear and for me that's the greatest compliment. I wrote the songs and the string arrangements to sound urgent, emotive and 'huge'... a full layered production that was the most destructive and beautiful storm...would've used a larger orchestra if possible. For what was trying to be conveyed with the EP, I remember mixing in the studio throughout December and January and watching the trailer for Terrence Malick'sThe Tree Of Life on my laptop and thinking, 'If we could get this record to be the guitar band equivalent of that I could die happy.'"

A limited run (250 copies) of To Clasp A Fallen Wish With Broken Fingers will be available on Snow White or Blood Red 10" vinyl via Play The Assassin Records on June 21st.

Digital is available now at: http://www.playtheassassin.bandcamp.com.

Place pre-orders at: http://www.playtheassassin.com.

 

All vinyl orders will include a free digital download card to redeem the album and three additional bonus tracks from the first EP.
