Pitchfork.com Debuts New ARGUS Track

Pitchfork.com has posted the exclusive world premier of “No Peace Beyond the Line,” the brand new track from Pennsylvania doom metal outfit ARGUS. The song, taken from the band’s forthcoming third full-length Beyond the Martyrs, is streaming at this location.

Beyond the Martyrs starts where their 2011’s release Boldly Stride the Doomed had left us…at the Ruins of Ouroboros. In between these two releases ARGUS has tested its strength and valor in several live shows both in their homeland and in Europe, receiving high praises from fans and from the record industry. Although a sense of impending fate marks again their compositions, the characteristic doom metal elements which were a distinguished trademark of ARGUS’ past releases have now given way to what is primarily to a genuine heavy metal approach, its nature rooted in the most classic environment of Heavy Metal tradition.

Cruz Del Sur Music will release Beyond the Martyrs on October 1st in North America and October 4th release in Europe in cd and digital formats. A gatefold vinyl edition including an A2 poster depicting Brad Moore’s awesome artwork, will be released on November 1st.

BIBLE OF THE DEVIL announces new guitarist Chris Grubbs (Hay Perro) while vocalist Mark Hoffmann quits.

Cruz Del Sur Music’s recording artists, BIBLE OF THE DEVIL have published the following statement on their website:

“Greetings BOTD fans! It has been quite a while since you have heard anything from us. Lots of new developments are happening, but we’d first like to tell you that Mark Hoffmann quit the band in January of this year. This was his decision, and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

During our hiatus, we had plenty of time to think about the future of BOTD. The remaining three of us decided that there is still more music to be made and we needed to move forward. However, doing this as a three piece was not an option. Just ask Nate about his fun with a Harmonizer pedal! A second guitar player would need to fill the void. After a careful search we found a good match. Please welcome guitarist Chris Grubbs of the band HAY PERRO to the BOTD camp. Chris is here to provide rhythm and guitar harmonies that are essential to BOTD’s signature sound. This will allow Nate Perry to take the lead on vocals with Darren Amaya providing the backups.

We will be spending the summer rehearsing and writing and get back in the live circuit this fall. We’ve got some regional dates up on our shows page, and our first Chicago show in nearly a year will be Nov. 2nd @ Reggie’s for Alehorn of Power VII. Stay tuned for the full announcement. We guarantee you will not want to miss it.

Thanks!

Greg, Nate, Darren, and Chris”
