oto so gray

Read all about the merging of Onward To Olympas and Facedown at the label’s news page.

In other news, Buy-Four-Get-One-Free sale on gray t-shirts at Old Navy!

[Gary Suarez wept. He usually manages the consistently off-topic No Yoko No. Say, why don't you follow him on Twitter?]

    It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anything on Facedown Records. I take it they are still signing generic hardcore bands that get all weepy about God.

  • morningrise

    Mandels and a skullet….hardcore

    • dilsneatch

      That ginger is pissed, son.

  • mankvill

      I looked at the picture for a couple seconds and then started laughing uncontrollably.

  • myke

    grrr this my angry face!!!!

  • Watson

    So what is the significance of misspelling Olympus?

    Also, for a laugh, here is their profile at last.fm

    Hailing from Kannapolis, N.C., Onward To Olympas truly is a masterpiece with the sole priority to bring you the best every single time. This is music at its best. A passion that is unbreakable and a skill that is unmatched. They will take you in and out of places that you could never imagine and spit you out with a brutal onslaught of over-whelming madness. Which is a true musical rarity.

    And some song titles:

    Blood, Toil, Tears And Sweat
    The Jewish Puppy
    Her Best Words Were ‘GoodBye’
    Rummykub

    Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

    Also on last.fm they were tagged as:

    metalcore, deathcore, death metal, unoriginal, nothing special

    Too funny.

    • metalguy

      even their fans tag them as unoiriginal! haha

  • John

    Best post ever.

    How do you know it’s not buy one get four free? Or buy three get two free? Maybe they have a box that says “GREY T-SHIRTS: TAKE ONE”

  • dilsneatch

    This could easily be the next photo caption contest.

    • Sacajawea

      That is a splendid idea sir or madam.

  • himynameismark

    If one synchronized poser folds his arms, do the rest have to fold with him?

    If this isn’t totally fucking average i dont know what is.

    that dude is wearing sandals. i don’t take anyone wearing sandals seriously.

    • Zombie(really)

      Nothing says brutal like flip flops!!!!!!!!!!

  • EricMc

    I’m a fan of Facedown Records. They’ve signed some pretty great bands (Hands, Means, Comeback Kid, Sinai Beach, etc.) but I don’t get this signing at all. I agree that this band is average. I can’t believe they’re not on Solid State! They’d fit great alongside Gwen Stacy, Inhale Exhale, and every other average metalcore band on their current roster (Becoming The Archetype being the exception).

      Do you happen to know what happened to Sinai Beach by any chance? I’ve been asking many people for quite awhile now and no one seems to know. The only thing their Wikipedia says is that they’re on “indefinite hiatus”. I love that band.

    • Beereded

      I thought Gwen Stacy was on Ferret. Also, Solid State has some solid bands: Advent, The Famine, Living Sacrifice, The Showdown, Trenches, and Soul Embraced.

    WE WEAR GREY SHIRTS.

    The singer dude looks like he has Down’s Syndrome

    • http://chroniclesofchaos.com Daniel Cairns

      Hey! I said that too on Twitter! We should hang out or something.

      • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QU0BKUbflc Garske

        eh looks more like an Aspie I think.

  • William Grimmkvlt

    They should cover Alice Cooper’s “Clones (We’re All)”.

  • buster poindexter

    I have a gray tshirt from old navy and it’s awesome. This band, however, is not. Christian kids will eat it up though.

  • Old Skool Metal

    I’m so sick of this trend, WHEN WILL IT END???
