EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: WHITE ARMS OF ATHENA, “EVINCE”

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011 at 12:00pm by

Just last week we were talking about White Arms of Athena, a Texas prog metal outfit we’ve been fans of for years who just signed with Prosthetic Records. Since we figure many of you may’ve missed the premiere we did last year when the band was still unsigned, we figured we’d give you another chance to sample Astrodrama with another exclusive track preview. And since many of you pay attention to what we write and probably do remember last year’s premiere, we figured we’d choose a different song that’s never been heard before by anyone that isn’t the band / the label / us / etc. Mostly we chose this track because it’s got Vince’s name in the title, but the song is pretty darn good too.

Astrodrama comes out on August 16th and is available for pre-order here for just 10 bucks.

    Holy moly!

  • Carson W

    Definitely one of the best Texas bands ever

  • Matt

    It’s like if BTBAM played songs of reasonable length but were more focused at the same time.

    I think this band has potential and is already pretty solid but I question how much they’ll get labeled as a BTBAM clone.

    • Flanders P.

      they do sound like them whether people admit it or not. alot like them.

      • Hmm

        Haha that’s a good thing

        • Flanders P.

    They got me into BTBAM, The Human Abstract, Gigan, and countless more… and TWAoA seems pretty good too!

    They’re playing at Pitchers in Arlington this Saturday with Lizard Professor, GOOOO!!!!! And pre-order the cd from Prosthetic!

  • Simple Ed

    Amazing! Definitely inspired yet your own sound. Great work!

    Wow, thats awful.

  • Blut

    The prog breaks are kinda cool, but too much of a “tuff guy” vibe going on. Mediocre stuff

      Trust me dude, the album is the least ‘tuff guy’ metal album I’ve heard in a long time. The guitar tones are super organic-sounding, and it’s got a really positive vibe in general.

  • Sam

    Not bad.

  • Facebook User

    MS got me into Picture it in Ruins. Mostly I checked them out cause the song title was Mass Effect, and that game is my dad.

  • dude

    White Arms of Athena is the shit! Definitely going to their shows!

  • Taylor

    Badass band. and they are only getting started, this is just the beginning!

    The cleans sound exactly like Crotchduster.

  • theskunkcatcher

    I’m definitely going to look out for these guys.
