Listen | Stream DECODER Here

Watch | Official Decoder Video Here

Bio | "Rooted in the idea of doing something unique, new, and unheard, DECODER was formed. Rising from the ashes of previously signed bands (Oceana, Versa Emerge and of Machines), DECODER became a well seasoned unit after months of demoing and honing their sound and enlisted Matt Malpass (Manchester Orchestra, Copeland, Relient K, Lydia) to help them craft and record their debut full length. Taking elements of prog, rock, and screamo, DECODER is a band's band and much, much more."

Listen | Stream It Dies Today Here

Watch | Official It Dies Today Video

Bio | "Born and bred among the Buffalo, NY hardcore scene IDT formed in August of 2001. The group was formed by vocalist, Nicholas Brooks, guitarist Chris Cappelli and guitarist Steve Lemke (who moved onto bass in the current line-up). The group creates a blend of brutal riffs, punishing breakdowns but coupled with huge anthemic and driving melodic sections as well. This dichotomy within their sound has ...gained them fans across the metal, hardcore and emo scenes as well as the ability to bring both sexes together in the pit. On their formation, most band members were only 16 years old. Though the band currently averages only 20 years old, this is a world wise band who have accomplished more than bands twice their age. The band's initial release was the Forever Scorned' EP which had a lot less melody than the band's current songs. That EP allowed the band to live in a dying conversion van and tour the U.S. with artists such as Between the Buried and Me and Alexisonfire. The stage presence of Brooks, Cappelli, Lemke, and the precision of drummer Nick Mirusso served to create an energetic live show that soon cemented their image."

Lemke moved onto bass and guitarist Mike Hatalak completed the line up. Having finally achieved their dream cast of players, IDT began to refine and structure their sound into the brutal lullaby it has become. The group signed with Trustkill Records, home to hardcore heavyweights such as Throwdown, Eighteen Visions, Bleeding Through and more.

Fall 2004 brought about the release of the band's debut full-length "The Caitiff Choir." The titled and lyrical influences gleaned from the work of Dante's Divine Comedy, the album is a tour of the degradation and moral disintegration within the human mind. The album has struck a chord throughout the media and consumer alike, having sold over 25,000 copies within four months and allowing the band to sell out two national headlining tours with support from Twelve Tribes, Anterrabae, Trivium and others. National media such as Alternative Press named them a "Band To Know" for 2005 and the group has been invited on as featured guests for MTV's Headbangers Ball in May.

Listen | Stream Our Last Night Here

Watch | Official Our Last Night Video

Bio | "Founded in 2004, the New Hampshire-based screamo quintet Our Last Night is comprised of childhood friends Trevor Wentworth (vocals), Matt Wentworth (guitar, vocals), Alex Woodrow (bass), Colin Perry (guitar), and Tim Molloy (drums). Combining the melodic structures of emo with the guttural sounds of hardcore, Our Last Night sporadically toured the New England area for three years, releasing several EPs and self-made demos along the way. These recordings found their way to Epitaph Records, where label owner Brett Gurewitz took interest in the band's maturity and wide-ranging vocals. The label signed Our Last Night in the summer of 2007, and the group soon headed west to record its debut album in Orange County, CA. Completed later that year, The Ghosts Among Us was released in early 2008, followed quickly two years later by We Will All Evolve in 2010." - TR3S

Watch | Official Children of Bodom Video Here

Bio | Formed in 1993 in Espoo, Finland, CHILDREN OF BODOM has built a rock solid reputation as a one of the best pure metal bands in the world. The band's name is derived from the infamous Lake Bodom murders, which took place in Finland in 1960. Originally named Inearthed (with a series of demos to their name), COB can be as downright brutal as any metal band when the situation demands. But what places this band at the pinnacle of the pack is the way it can suddenly dish up huge swathes of melody and instantly memorable choruses with an unmatched degree of musicianship that has seen vocalist / guitarist Alexi “Wildchild” Laiho and his cohorts grace the covers of musician magazines around the globe.

Listen | Stream Foxy Shazam Music Here

Watch | Official Foxy Shazam Video Here

Bio | Foxy Shazam's music is an unhinged, maniacal mix of piano, guitar, howling vocals, double-kickdrum percussion, and rock & roll theatrics. The quintet hails from Cincinnati, OH, where bandmates Eric Nally (vocals), Loren Turner (guitar), Daisy (bass), Sky White (piano), and Joe Halberstadt (drums) first joined forces in 2004. Recording sessions for The Flamingo Trigger began that year and stretched into early 2005, and Foxy Shazam supported the album's June release with a series of headlining show dates. New Weatherman Records took an interest in the band's rambunctious, genre-melding sound, and Foxy Shazam signed to the label before entering the studio for a second time. Released in partnership with Ferret Music, Introducing Foxy Shazam arrived in early 2008. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
