1) “Deceiver of the Gods”

This is basically an introduction to Loke. He describes his background and his devious mind in these lyrics.

2) “As Loke Falls”

… is the tale of the battle between Loke and Heimdall at Raganrök, the end of the world.

3) “Father of the Wolf ”

… is the story of how the fearsome nemesis of Oden, the wolf Fenris, was born.

4) “Shapeshifter”

… is based on Loke’s quarrel with the Asa Gods, but also him describing his traits of being able to shift his appearance into different animal shapes, as well as shifting from doing good or bad deeds.

5) “Under Siege”

… tells the story of a fortress under siege, where the residents have to make a choice: either starve to death, or make one final desperate attack that is doomed to fail.

6) “Blood Eagle”

This is a nasty piece of work. Basically describing a very brutal type of execution.

7) “We Shall Destroy”

… is a story about a battle where the warriors of both sides are forming a wall of shields. It’s a story of strength through unity.

8) “Hel”

In this song Hel, the ruler for the realm of the dead welcomes the listener to her ”humble home” to join her at the banqutte of the dead where Famine is your plate and Hunger is your knife. This song features a special guest appearance by Messiah Marcolin!

9) “Coming of the Tide”

These lyrics are related to “Under Siege.” It’s the story of how a mounted legion of warriors are rushing to the aid of the besieged, but they arrive too late. Realising everyone is dead they take up the pursuit of those responsible .

10) “The Warriors of the North”

This is a story of a group of loyal warriors who are betrayed by their king, and banished from their land. But twenty years later the kingdom is under attack, and they are called back to defend the king who betrayed them, to restore their honour and to get a final chance to die the warriors death so that they can reach Valhalla.

The band have had the following to say regarding the signing:

“To say that Sumerian Records and label owner Ash Avildsen are big supporters of this band would be a huge understatement. We have been proud to call Ash our friend since our early years and this friendship has flourished greatly since then via our relationship with his sister company, The Pantheon Booking Agency.

When you start a band you dream that one day you can do what you love with great friends and family around you. Now it all seems to have come full circle. With the good people at Outerloop Management, Sumerian Records and the Pantheon Agency we finally feel right at home. Every aspect of the group is being handled by long-time trusted friends and is in reliable hands. This safe haven has given us the shelter we need to put together a life-changing new album.

Before we could see it coming, we’ve been thrust out of Oceanic Studios (where we’ve been working with producer Taylor Larson) and back out on the road. Please come see us live with Killswitch Engage if we’re coming to your city and it will also be our first tour with new drummer Travis Orbin. As soon as we get home we’ll be back to the hermit life in the studio where we can finish up this album. To our brother Ash, Sumerian and all of you out there here’s a huge cheers to 2014, a new Darkest Hour album and the future.”

Sumerian Records founder Ash Avildsen has also released a statement:

“Darkest Hour are some of the best dudes I have ever met in music. They’re also one of the most underrated bands in metal and Sumerian is here to change that. Their influential début album, The Mark Of The Judas, which never saw the real light of day due to their label at the time going under the day it came out, will finally get a proper release this fall, along with a new studio record. DC pride.”

“We have been at breakneck speed since the triumphant end of the campaign and just want to say THANK YOU for your tremendous support!

Because of this amazing support we are extremely proud to announce that we WILL be reserving enough funds raised over our goal to schedule time after Warped Tour to hit the studio to make a SECOND EP! We aren’t sure of the date because it will have to fit in when our touring schedule permits, but we will definitely be recording another EP.

We have wrapped up in the studio and are in the final stages of preparing the release ofThe Titan EP (and now en route to Warped Tour!). We are beyond thrilled with how these songs have turned out and extremely grateful for the tremendous effort our producer, Andreas Magnusson, has put into helping us rush this out. Our sound has evolved and we absolutely cannot wait to hear your response.

We will release a single, “THE PITCH,” ASAP.

We are getting all of the merchandise and everything else into production for all of the awesome funders. We’ve never been in charge of doing ALL of this before haha, but it’s an exciting challenge. Look for more updates!

Due to the insane rush that we’ve been experiencing in this time crunch, we haven’t had a lot of time to make updates about the process, but we thank you so much for your patience. Stay tuned, The Titan EP is coming soon!

And of course TITAN will be available to everyone soon!”

Tim finished all of his parts back before he went on tour in Asia. He was just waiting for me to do my parts and put together the finishing touches on the mix of the album. I’m working on that this starting this week now that I have the files. The CD should be done soon and then we’ll start planning to manufacture.

“After nearly 7 years as a band we, House Vs Hurricane have decided it’s time for us to move on and call it day.

The five if us could have never imagined the amount of support we have received since our beginnings from our fans, friends, families, past members and and the amazing team that has been behind us the entire way.

We see this as an exciting step more than anything else, of course it’s sad but we have been given the opportunity to travel the world, record music, meet so many amazing people and share what we do with anyone who will listen, and for that we are so so grateful and humbled.

We have an Australian tour coming up later this month with I Killed The Prom Queen and Buried In Verona, as well as River Sessions festival in Mackay. These will be our last shows for the moment, but we may look to do something later on as a final farewell. For now, please come and see us on tour June 20-29 and lets have a blast.

Of course we will all continue to play music in some capacity so keep an eye out for that in the future but for now it is goodbye.

We have put up a couple of tracks for free that are B-Sides from Crooked Teeth as a parting gift to our awesome fans and supporters. Stay tuned for those shortly, we hope you enjoy them

Lovers, haters, people that don’t care, thanks for being a part of the journey, it’s been real!

Ryan, Dan, Chris, Dylan and Sam.”

The band’s guitarist Steven Bradley has had the following to say:

“The entire album came together as a result of us wanting to do something different. We didn’t want to make another weird IWABO album or whatever people were expecting. We set out to make something different and better than anything we’ve ever released. It’s a more evolved version of the band. We explored new styles and genres as well—especially in terms of the more spacey, epic, and beautiful parts. It’s got the most melodic moments of our career as well as the heaviest.”

The track listing for the album can be found below:

01 – Thunder Chunky
02 – Letters To Stallone
03 – Snake Charmer
04 – Boat Paddle
05 – Firebees
06 – Mind The Gap

08 – The Map
09 – That’s A Horse Of A Different Color
10 – I’d Buy That For A Dollar
11 – Inside Job
12 – It Don’t Make Me No Nevermind

Protest The Hero released the following regarding the matter:

“We know we have been silent for the past couple months while we record this beast, but we assure you it’s almost done and is turning out extremely well. We plan on releasing our beloved “pupdates” throughout the summer while we set up to release this new album so stay tuned for that.

With all this incredible progress, however, we have some sad news. Our brother and friend Moe has decided to leave the band to go back to school in pursuit of some of his other passions. When our gruelling studio schedule just wouldn’t work with his gruelling school schedule, we realized we would need to find a session player for the new album. With Moe‘s guidance and approval, we found us a nice match in Chris Adler! Having known Chris for a few years, and with he and Moe being drum-buddies, it seemed like a perfect fit. We are happy to say that Chris has already come and gone from canada and has left us with some beautiful drum tracks.

Can’t wait for you all to hear it!”

Chris Adler released his own statement:

“I was thrilled to get the call to join up and help out my friends in Protest, how could I turn down one of my favorite bands? I’ve done a bit of session work before withTestament
and Ron Jarzombek but nothing this immersive. I lived and breathed this record for 8 weeks and even lived in Toronto for a month with the guys. The experience was intense tosay the least.

Some of the most demanding and intricate drum work of my career. I’m very proud to have been a part of the Protest family and can’t wait to have you hear it.”
