Free Facedown Records Summer Sampler

Free music today from Facedown Records!  They’ve teamed up with Alt Press (AP) Magazine to offer a summer sampler featuring 12 of Facedown’s best artists.  The tracklist:

• For Today – “Devastator”
• My Epic – “Lower Still”
• War Of Ages – “Collapse”
• In The Midst Of Lions – “The Machine”
• A Hope For Home – “The Overman”
• Impending Doom – “Orphans”
• Call To Preserve – “Empty”
• A Plea For Purging – “Shiver”
• The Burial – “Demons Never Sleep”
• Onward To Olympas – “Sink Of Swim”
• As Hell Retreats – “Poor God”
• Wrench In The Works – “Project AK-47″

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Facedown Records, they’re one of the main Christian metal/hardcore/screamo/really-loud-and heavy-and-brutal-music labels in the market today.  Of course, they’ve released non-metal before (see My Epic), but generally, loud and brutal is the order of business.

I haven’t had a chance to listen to the sampler yet, so I can’t recommend any good songs, but if you like loud music, I’m sure you’ll find something that’ll be worth the download.  Enjoy!

There you have it, all 62 songs.  That should pretty much speak for itself.  It looks like hardcore/metal songs form the backbone of the sampler, but there’s enough “normal” music to make it worth while even if screaming isn’t your thing.

Now, there is one small problem.  Like I said, Another Way To Fight Vol. 1 was created by a French website.  So, the site is in French.  Thankfully, thanks to Google’s handy Translator, the rest of us can read it too.  Enjoy!

Free Song from My Epic

My Epic is a fairly new Christian rock group who are signed to Facedown Records.  Actually, Facedown Records is an interesting choice, because My Epic isn’t hardcore (like 90% of the other bands on Facedown).   Really, My Epic is more of a indie-rock-emo-alternative-ish, talented, band.  Oh well, at least the guys are signed.

Anyways, My Epic has a free demo track up on their Purevolume page called “The Antidote”.  The song it self is quite good, for a demo, and besides that, it’s free.  Can’t beat that.

Plus, I just found that My Epic has a blog called “Epic Thoughts”, which you can read here.
