AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK and TERROR Embark On The "Choose Or Lose, Vote Or Die" Tour
The hardcore loyalists in LA's TERROR recently wrapped up a massive
seven-week, headlining, North American trek in support of their highly
acclaimed new album, The Damned, The Shamed. The tour also featured The
Warriors, Death Before Dishonor, CDC and Trapped Under Ice marking their
first headlining tour in almost two years. The group now prepares to
embark on the much anticipated "Choose Or Lose, Vote Or Die" tour
serving as direct support to one of the genre's most talked about newer
artists AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK, who are preparing to record their sophomore
effort. This amazing bill, which kicks off on Oct. 16th, is rounded out
by Blood Stands Still with On Broken Wings and The Ghost Inside on
select dates. Be sure to visit www.myspace.com/asbloodrunsblack or

The LA based quintet AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK created quite a buzz for
themselves with their debut Mediaskare release, Allegiance, and the hype
for their sophomore effort continues to build to epic proportions. The
band's live presence is a force to be reckoned with and is built on
aggression, speed and sheer brilliant musicianship. This is your first
chance to hear this material live, so don't miss out. Prepare yourself
for their new full-length release early next year.
Ernie Flores (guitars) states: "At first I was deeply thinking of naming
this tour the 'Odd Man Out Tour' considering we're the only band on the
tour more on the metal side. Then I sat down and realized how long we've
wanted to do a tour like this. It's going to be a great time playing
with the package we have set up for this tour and we'll be able to
really branch out to the real hardcore community, as the others will be
able to branch out to the younger crowd and newer generation of fans
that we have. Having our label mates Blood Stands Still and The Ghost
Inside is already a big plus to this tour since we're all great friends
already. Personally, Terror is one of my favorite bands of all time so
I'm sure you'll see me running around in the crowd every night and we've
been On Broken Wings fans for years. This tour should be a huge success
for everyone and even more so a fucking blast. We're going to be playing
a bunch of brand new tracks that will be on the new record so make sure
you all come out and peep the new shit.
"As far as the new record is concerned, we're really almost done. We've
been dedicating almost all of our time to touring as much as possible,
covering as much ground as possible and taking our time with writing.
We're in the studio tracking now and hoping for a March 2009 release.
We'll be posting brand new demo tracks prior to the tour. It's coming.
Hate it or love it, like it or not.
"In addition and on another topic, our boys in Bury Your Dead were in a
horrible accident this morning. Slim is still in the hospital so
everyone please stop by their page and pay your respect and love to the
boys and hope for Slim's speedy recovery. Get better homeboy. We're all
here waiting for you. Alright, well that's all I really have to say.
Hope to see all of you at the shows having a good time and going crazy
with all of us."
Scott Vogel (vocals) of TERROR further comments: "After a month long
break we are going right back out and hitting the U.S. again to keeping
promoting our new record. After just finishing up a more straight up
traditional hardcore tour, which we love, this time were going out with
mostly more metalish HC modern stuff or whatever you call it. We are
looking forward to playing to some of the newer, younger kids. We are
hitting up a lot of places we haven't been to in a while and of course,
some of the regulars. The tour mostly is in the middle of the country
with the east and west coast not having many shows this time around. We
hope to see you all there and look forward to making many new friends
along the way."
