Trustkill Records is proud to announce that it will release a new album by North Carolina's Hopesfall (http://www.hopesfall.com) this October. The band will enter Vudu Studios (Long Island, NY) on June 3 with producer/mixer Steven Haigler at the helm (Brand New, The Pixies, and Quicksand) and spend a month in the studio. Chandler Owen (who designed all the band's previous albums) will design the artwork for the upcoming release as well. Upon completion of the recording, the group will embark on a European tour in August and then return for a stateside tour in September.
Hopesfall turned a lot of heads with their Trustkill debut, The Satellite Years. Produced by Matt Talbot of mid-west space-rock legends, HUM, the album drew rave reviews. The acclaim was in no small part due to the band's fusion of guttural rock, forward-thinking space elements and intricate melodies. Canada's monthly music publication, Exclaim, said of the band, "smoothly fuses influences from virtually every genre of music found in today's hardcore/metal scene in a way that is not only incredibly talented, but also highly original."
The Satellite Years has gone on to sell over 35,000 copies since its
2002 release. Hopesfall spent the better part of a year on the road touring with the likes of The Ataris, Coheed & Cambria, Snapcase and The Juliana Theory. Though the band had many successes live, the road was not without it's hitches. The group's van containing all of their equipment was stolen mid-tour leaving the band to soldier on using borrowed gear (news of the theft even reached Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 / Atticus, who called to lend his support and gear). Returning home to North Carolina in early 2004, the group returned harder than ever, working tirelessly on new material. For more info, point your browser to www.trustkill.com
