SON OF AURELIUS: UNSIGNED NO MORE

 Thursday, February 18th, 2010 at 12:00pm by

According to Lambgoat, Paul Conroy and Carl Severson, “former partners at Ferret Music, Warner Music and ChannelZERO,” have now left Ferret to start their own music and sports management company as well as a new label, all under the banner Good Fight Entertainment. And if you’re thinking right now “I’m a music fan, what the fuck do I care about who runs which label and management company?”, well, here’s why I’m telling you: because one of Good Fight’s first two releases is going to be a new album from Son of Aurelius, who I first wrote about in January, and who are absolutely awesome.

Better news still: the album is not just a re-release of the band’s prior outing, Myocardial Infraction (super-duper awesome cover art above). Which means we’re getting more new SOA already. Which is fantastic news.

The new offering from Son of Aurelius, The Farthest Reaches, will be out on Good Fight on April 13, alongside the label’s other inaugural release, Cancer Bats’ Bears, Mayors, Scraps and Bones. Get excited.

    Oh come on, this is weedly-weedly poo poo for people who have the attention span of a gnat. Isn’t this trend of boring tech “death” metal over yet?

      Hey, I like my tech death to be weedly weedly…

      Sons Of Aurelius are alright. I’ve listened to the album a couple of times, and it’s not terrible, although it’s not really sticking with me just yet.

      actually the album’s amazing. tech death is amazing dude, if you understood theory and composition, you’d know that. if you think the faceless and son of aurelius are boring, you’re fucking ignorant.

    This sounds like Arsis’ “We Are the Nightmare”…except somehow even worse.

  • krunkulor5000

    OH yEAH!!!!!!!!!!! they deserve a label totally, the metal in my blood told me this was happening soon as i was first checking the out FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not even gonna express the thought of knowing about a brand new album too omg omg my keyboard is sticky now lol

    I care more about the Cancer Bats release… SOA are among the most boring tech-death bands I’ve heard in a while, and I say this as a big fan of the Faceless and Obscura.

    • cyrollan

      obscura sucks. they’re so busy on copying alice in chains they can’t focus on actual songwriting
