First Blood

First Blood, who just released 'Silence Is Betrayal' through Bullet Tooth, are warriors in the fight for animal liberation. The bloodthirsty new album boasts biting lyrical content that encourages listeners to fight against injustices -- and it's a brutal soundtrack delivered alongside a deliberate and inspiring message...

Take a listen to 'Enemy,' a brand new track from animal activists and hardcore/metal warriors First Blood. The song appears on the band's latest, 'Silence is Betrayal,' which is out today. The track is an anthemic fist-pumper, and it clocks in at under three minutes, so it's an efficient exercise in moshy metal with a chugga-chug breakdown...

Say what you will about Fall Out Boy, but those dudes don't flap their gums in vain about their hardcore roots. FOB's rhtyhm section, bassist/tabloid fodder Pete Wentz and drummer Andy Hurley cut their teeth in Racetraitor, and Hurley is taking his mad hardcore pride a step further...

"We also got a new drummer," Randy Gonzalez of Thick as Blood said, as he pointed out the fact that fast-paced PR wires failed to mention. The guitarist explained to Noisecreep that the metal/hardcore outfit actually lost three members after their run with Emmure on the Mosh Lives II Tour last year...

While no one knows for sure what's going on with Fall Out Boy, and whether the band is still active or sedentary, the members of the group are keeping busy. Frontman Patrick Stump has gone solo, Joseph Trohman and Andy Hurley have started a metal band with Scott Ian of Anthrax called the Damned Things, and Pete Wentz is busy being a dad and husband to Ashlee Simpson...

Trustkill Records, the little label that could from central New Jersey, is gearing up in 2010 for new releases from vegan warriors First Blood, Brooklyn, N.Y. hardcore stalwarts Most Precious Blood, as well as newbies like the Great American Beast, Kid Liberty and Victory in Numbers...
