click for music video link & official press release

May 7, 2013  - Los Angeles, Califonia - Synthetic-Metal duo
Chiildren have released yet another highly disturbing music
video for their song "My Gods." This is the second music video
from their "The Other People" EP. The band first penetrated the
public consciousness with a harrowing yet captivating music video for their
single, "Girl In The Dirt."

'My Gods' is an agnostic prayer as heard by a demon named Elim,
otherwise known as the 'lord of attrition.' The video depicts his relationship
to three characters and their subsequent deterioration of mind, body, and
soul.

We filmed much of the video completely guerilla style in an abandoned
house in the San Fernando Valley. A passing hiker spotted us and called 911 to
report a possible rape/murder. So halfway through our first day, we were
approached by three policemen with guns drawn. The sheriff quickly realized what
we were doing and then explained that his children were filmmakers. Amazingly,
he allowed us to keep shooting as long as we remained unseen by the
public.



In order to continue our good luck, we modified the demonic sigil that we
planned to paint on our apartment floor in order to not summon an actual
demon.
" - Chris Zeischegg / Chiildren


The Other People” EP is available now through Bit
Riot Records
on all mainstream digital platforms such as iTunes,
Amazon, eMusic, Rhapsody as well as niche digital stores including FiXT Store,
Bandcamp and DDT Digital.

<![CDATA[SENSES FAIL ANNOUNCE TEST PRESSING AUCTION TO BENEFIT LIBERTY HUMANE SOCIETY]]>Tue, 14 May 2013 19:45:04 GMThttp://www.bigcitythoughts.com/2/post/2013/05/senses-fail-announce-test-pressing-auction-to-benefit-liberty-humane-society.html(May 13,
2013) – Today Senses Fail announces that they will be auctioning a very
rare test pressing of their latest album Renacer (3/26/13,
Staple Records). There are only four test pressings in existence, and all
proceeds from this single test pressing auction will benefit the Liberty
Humane Society
located in the band’s home area of Jersey City, New
Jersey.


  Fans are
invited to place a bid on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171040317822)
beginning today. The auction will end on Monday, May 20 and the test pressing
will go to the highest bidder.  


  
  “Having
adopted an animal from this shelter I know first hand how truly caring and
hardworking they are,” commented Senses Fail frontman Buddy Nielsen. “I
would love nothing more than to help them save animals and provide the community
with a safe haven for animals and animal lovers.”


 “The past
year and a half has been an exciting time at Liberty Humane Society,” commented
the organization.  “At the close of 2011, we challenged ourselves to make
the next year a period of major growth for the shelter.  We’re pleased to
tell you that not only did we close out 2012 with our best year ever for
adoptions, but we also gave back to the community by providing more low-cost
Wellness Clinics for pet owners.  2013 is off with a bang with over 200
adoptions to date!”


“This
progress would never have been possible without continued support from our
sponsors, Senses Fail.  Each year we are challenged to raise at least
$400,000 just to meet the budget required to care for the homeless
animals!  These donations go towards efforts that are not covered by
municipal funding such as spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations and medication,
behavioral modification training, progressive tactics to increase adoptions, and
the ability to house and care for stray animals beyond their state-mandated
seven-day hold.”

, from their Victory Records’  debut album, Featuring: Dr. Gruesome and
the Gruesome Gory Horror Show

visuals: a gory crime scene, an eerie undertaker, a foggy graveyard, zombie
resurrections and a live burial that will have you at the edge of your
seats.

Watch
“Will You Meet Me In The Graveyard?” on VEVO.


 The
SNOW WHITE’S POISON BITE music video for “The End of Prom Night” quickly
became a YouTube sensation in August 2011, collecting three million views to
date.The staggering views have allowed the band to create a devout fan base they
appropriately call the “Horror Crew”.  With expectations high, SNOW
WHITE’S POISON BITE
continue to serve a mash up
of punk, surf, pop and rock in their new music video, “Will You Meet Me
In The Graveyard?”. The video features stop-motion animation, bringing skeletons
to life, paying homage to the late Ray Harryhausen, legendary special effects
artist. Watch behind the scenes footage of the video here.

<![CDATA[throwdown press release ]]>Sun, 05 May 2013 02:37:55 GMThttp://www.bigcitythoughts.com/2/post/2013/05/throwdown-press-release.htmlPicture
Southern California heavy music giants THROWDOWN will be entering the studio next week to begin working on their next full length record, with ZEUSS mixing.

The new, yet to be titled effort is the follow up to “Deathless,” which came out four years ago, in 2009 highlighted with tracks "This Continuum," "Burial at Sea" and "The Scythe."

Vocalist Dave Peters offers a statement on the current state of the band and the mindset behind making this next record: 

"It's really exciting, if not a little nerve-wracking to be recording again. It has been almost 4 years since 'Deathless' came out, which is about twice as long as the time between albums before it.  While that has probably been annoying for fans that have been waiting and expecting a new record, it has also been the best thing for the writing process for the new album.

I'm really meticulous when writing and arranging even the simplest riffs and songs, so I like to take my time. It has been strange and nice having the freedom to come back to a song or part several weeks later with a different perspective after hitting a wall with it.

We're taking a very minimalist approach with these songs, more like Vendetta and (the first half of) Haymaker.  I avoid putting the cart before the horse, but I see the songs on the record coming out stripped down and yet still refined.  A two-minute song can arrive at the same place as one that fucks around for six, and while it’s more challenging to get there in less time, it is a lot cooler when you do.  I’ve been going back to that when I find myself maybe adding parts or lines that are at risk of being superfluous.

I’m very proud of 'Deathless' and all the work that went into it, but it wasn't a record that Throwdown fans expected.  It was really polarizing on account of that.  I’m simply not looking to continue down that stylistic road with these songs. This is going to be a hard record. I look forward to making it as much for myself as for longtime fans of the band."
