"Fans were a bit surprised when North Carolina hardcore/metal act Advent announced their reformation last March, four years and two albums after disbanding. At the time, vocalist Joe Musten said, "It's a decision we all made together about nine months ago and we are all finally to a point where we are able to move forward."
Fast forward nearly a year and the quartet is set to release a new EP titled Pain & Suffering through Bridge Nine Records, their first new record in more than seven years. Today we're pleased to exclusively unveil a blistering new track from the outing titled "Shadow of Death." Listen below, and consider pre-ordering the EP."

Screen grab of Bridge Nine’s banner & posters (Hierophant & Polar Bear Club) in the film Manchester By The Sea
Bridge Nine is excited to acknowledge that a banner of our logo and a few of our band’s posters were featured in the bedroom of character Patrick Chandler (played by actor Lucas Hedges) in the film Manchester By The Sea. It even made it into the trailer, which can be viewed HERE! Co-starring Casey Affleck as Patrick’s grief-stricken uncle, Manchester By The Sea received six Academy Award nominations, taking home two for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor for Casey Affleck.

Brooklyn Vegan 15 bands to see at FEST
War on Womens 2015 debut LP on Bridge 9 rips and their live show is even more powerful. Heres what I said about it when they opened for FLAG earlier this year: They make a hardcore with a message that iss very relevant and necessary right now - rape, abortion rights, street harassment and transphobia were just a few things they tackled during their set. They also have a killer rhythm section, sharp, loud guitars, and a truly unforgettable singer, Shawna Potter. The best hardcore shows are the ones where you can not look away or get bored, even if you try, and Shawna is a big reason War On Women puts on shows like that. She is sarcastic, angry, confrontational, and entertaining all at once, and it shows in both her delivery and her constantly-animated performance. Catch them at 9:40 PM at The Wooly on Saturday (directly before Floor and Negative Approach).
War On Women featured in Newsweek Article!
War On Women was recently featured in Newsweek! Click Here!
'We are bringing our message of feminism across the globe, Potter, the band's singer, tells Newsweek in the basement of Saint Vitus, a dimly lit bar and music venue in Brooklyns Greenpoint neighborhood, where they are playing with hardcore punk stalwarts Global Threat and Strike Anywhere. It is also the night of the second presidential debate and bizarrely enough, Saint Vituss basement is home to a pastel painting of Republican president nominee Donald Trump that imagines him as a 1989 real estate Willy Wonka.'
