Originally formed for the purpose of creating a "back to basics" hardcore band with heavy, metallic guitars, screaming vocals, and 30-second songs, during the past 15 years Hatebreed has triumphantly emerged as a giant in the hardcore/metalcore scene.

They say only the strong survive and for Louisiana swamp grinders Soilent Green, no truer words were ever spoken. Hardly strangers to adversity, Soilent’s two-decade-old history is fraught with lineup changes, van collisions, murder, suicide and a hurricane casualty. And yet, they soldier on, driven by passion, patience, perseverance and a will to dominate.

The hardest-working, hardest-touring, most heartfelt melodic heavy metal hardcore band in the land, War Of Ages, is gearing up to record their hotly anticipated followup to Pride Of The Wicked with producer Tim Lambesis, best known as the lead singer of As I Lay Dying. Pride Of The Wicked and the re-release of their debut album, Fire from the Tomb, have established Facedown Records artists War Of Ages as both skillful and adept at crafting music that is at once brutal and catchy. It's all filled with power and spirit, as evidenced by the new converts who emerge from clubs and halls around the nation where War Of Ages has appeared on tours with Throwdown, Soilwork, Bleeding Through, All Shall Perish, Terror, As I Lay Dying, Bury Your Dead and more.
