ALL HAIL THE YETI Signs With AFM RECORDS

AFM Records has announced the signing of the Los Angeles-based metal act ALL HAIL THE YETI. The band's debut album will be released in August.

Commented vocalist Connor Garritty: ""This is a dream come true for us. We have worked so hard to get to this point, and are very excited to be a part of the AFM family. When we started talking to them, it was immediately apparent that they understood who we are and what we've been trying to do.

"It's been a long road for us, simply trying to stand on our own. To write good, solid songs while remaining as heavy as anyone out there — especially here in Los Angeles.

"Our record not only sums up where we've been over the past few years but more importantly, where we're going. We put all of our blood and sweat into it and it shows.

"There needs to be a cleansing in the heavy metal world! We are the hundred-year storm, to wash away the filth!!! Follow us into the Woods!"

Since coming together in 2006, the brainchild of Canadian vocalist and tattoo artist Connor Garritty, and guitarist K.J Duval, ALL HAIL THE YETI earned a local following with their swampy, chaotic guitar tone and Garritty's "look 'em dead in the eyes" stage demeanor.

An EP titled "Trees On Fire With Songs OF Blood" was released in 2010. It began to satiate local fans with live favorites like "Deep Creek".

Without waiting for the "industry" to take notice of what their audience already knew, ALL HAIL THE YETI entered the studio in late 2011 to record their debut full-length with producers Tommy Decker and Mike Sarkisyan. The results prove that ALL HAIL THE YETI has learned to master the riff and make it feel as good as it is savage. While the likes of "Suicide Woods" is lean and mean, "After The Great Fire" verges on an epic journey, its churning vocal melody courtesy of bassist Nick Diltz proving that ALL HAIL THE YETI have yet to show all of their creative cards.

Now with their lineup rounded out by drummer Skylar Feigel and guitarist Craw NeQuent, ALL HAIL THE YETI are ready to take over the world with no intention of turning back.

How would Garritty describe just what the hell ALL HAIL THE YETI is about? "The best way to describe our sound is to capture how it makes each individual feel," says the frontman. "Our songs touch on topics of death, life, love, love lost, the paranormal, crypto zoology, mythical creatures, partying, etc. It's tough to describe our sound with one sentence."
