Cross Me have premiered another new song from their forthcoming EP, Forever Cursed. Check out the title track below courtesy of New Noise Magazine.
Forever Cursed is due out March 11. Pre-order the 7"/DL at B9Store.com or the digital version at Bandcamp.
Cross Me's Forever Cursed EP detailed; new music coming soon; on tour now
After touring relentlessly and seasoning and developing their sound along the way, Cross Me are ready to release their Bridge Nine debut EP. Titled Forever Cursed and available on 7" vinyl, digital and streaming formats on March 11, these four songs compose a mean, turbulent 10 minutes of hardcore with deep introspection and heavy thrash and metal influences that gives them character and unique flair amid a crowded modern hardcore field. Check out a teaser for the EP now below.
Hailing from Milwaukee, Cross Me formed in early 2013, bonding over a mutual love of classic and modern NYHC (The Icemen, Madball, Backtrack). They came out of the gate with their 2014 EP, Paid in Full and last year, the "Mind Prison" / "Content" flexi 7", both released on Flatspot Records.
Cross Me are gearing up for another round of U.S. tour dates; the first leg will take them to the east coast with Eternal Sleep, while Survival Method will take the latter's place for dates in the south that lead up to Midwest Blood Fest with Another Mistake, Weekend Nachos, Bent Life and more. Check out the tour dates listed below and keep up with Cross Me on Facebook and Twitter.

Silver Snakes announce new album on Evil Ink Records, premiere new song
We're happy to say that Silver Snakes have announced their new album on their new label, Evil Ink Records (headed by Coheed and Cambria's Claudio Sanchez). It's called Saboteur, is out February 5, 2016, and you can hear the first song, "Raindance", at BrooklynVegan. Pre-orders are available here.
Here's what the band had to say about the song and album:
'Saboteur is a record summed up by its title. It's about sabotage, it's about using direct action to accomplish a goal. It can be applied to many situations : Personal, Political etc. it's about having the passion to do absolutely whatever it takes to make a point even if it's potentially harmful.
"Raindance" was one of the first songs written for the record. It's the follow up track to a song we previously released called "Sundance" which was about being caught up in abusive relationships. "Raindance" is about taking the plunge into new endeavors only to have voices from the past show up to steer you elsewhere. It's the balance between sides, The person being torn down and the voice of negativity all speaking at once.'
The band will be on the road supporting Coheed, along with Glassjaw, early next year. Check those dates, as well as the Saboteur track listing, below.
Saboteur Track List:
1. Electricity
2. Glass
3. Raindance
4. Devotion
5. Fire Cloud
6. Red Wolf
7. Charmer
8. La Dominadora
9. Dresden
10. The Loss

Malfunction's 'Fear of Failure' streaming in full; album out this Friday
We've partnered with BrooklynVegan to premiere a stream of Malfunction's forthcoming debut album,Fear in Failure, in full. Check out what they had to say:
"...it pulls from the kind of hardcore/metalcore their hometown area of upstate NY has been churning out for the past two decades. It's something you could picture coming out on Victory before that label went totally mall-core (they've got the chug of Earth Crisis' "Firestorm" on track one, "Drained"). Malfunction change it up too, like when they go borderline post-rock on "Sonic." It's a good record."
Fear of Failure is out this Friday, November 20. Pre-order a copy at B9Store.com and check out the band on tour with Terror and Code Orange starting at the end of this month.

Crown of Thornz stream 'Nothing But Tragedy' EP at Scene Point Blank
Crown of Thornz are now streaming their upcoming EP, Nothing But Tragedy, in full at Scene Point Blank. The EP is due out August 14 and is available for pre-order now as a 7" and/or digital download atB9Store.com.
Crown of Thornz were an NYHC mainstay during the mid-1990s alongside acts like Madball, H2O, and Vision of Disorder. Street-wise and charismatic graffiti artist Lord Ezec spearheaded the band in 1994 with high school friend (and future Shelter member) Franklin Rhi, recruiting future Breakdown member Mike Dijan. They would quickly become a live favorite on the scene with energetic and tight performances that ignited crowds with their musically and emotionally heavy style that drew inspiration from Cro-Mags and crossover-era Agnostic Front while ruminating about love and hate dichotomies, senseless violence, and contemplative introspection. Their recorded output was limited: There was only 1995's Train Yard Blues EP on then-hardcore pillar Equal Vision Records, and 1996's Mentally Vexedfull-length on local cornerstone Another Planet. But both releases found attention worldwide, and the band would tour all over on them until their demise in 1998.
Now, we are excited to present Crown of Thornz's first recorded output since a 1998 split single with Aggressive Dogs. Nothing But Tragedy features two new tracks: "The Kiss of Death", a somewhat more straightforward representation of the CoT sound that nonetheless moves their thudding, mid-tempo hardcore style forward. The B-side is "No Reason Why" (not to be confused with the Gorilla Biscuits classic), an epic, darkly affecting rock song, the likes of which CoT have never quite approached, with a booming, heady chorus to boot.
