HASTE THE DAY: Footage From One-Of-A-Kind Record-Release Show Available

July 5, 2010

Indiana-based Christian metalcore band HASTE THE DAY celebrated the release of its new album, "Attack of the Wolf King", with a record-release party at Rhino's in Bloomington, Indiana on June 29. The show, which was billed as "Haste the Day Vs. Haste the Day", featured members of the band's original lineup facing off with the new lineup for an extended set of old and new material.

Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be viewed below.

"This may turn out to be the best HASTE THE DAY show that will ever happen," bassist Mike Murphy told AOL's Noisecreep six weeks prior to the concert. "It's hard when band members grow older and no longer have the energy and passion to stay on the road. With HTD, our purpose has always been bigger than the individual members. We want to be a voice to kids at shows that they are loved and important. So, as members leave, they pass the torch to the newer guys and the mission continues. There are no hard feelings within the HTD camp and we're blessed that both versions of the band are essentially one big family. To bring those two groups together for one show just demonstrates the true purpose and unity of this band."

He added, "To play older songs that haven't been performed live in half a decade is going to be so much fun. Since the dawn of music, no matter who the band is, people want to hear the old stuff: the songs that they grew up with, the songs that usually sound horrible on CD but have insane energy live. With this show, we're saying, 'Here ya go! We're gonna play you the old stuff, with the old gang.' Then we'll trade off between the old and the newer lineup, showing how the band has progressed throughout the years. I believe the most important song of that night will be 'When Everything Falls,' since the lyrics have always been powerful. This band has stood, and will continue to stand, when everything falls away."

Released on June 29 via longtime label Solid State Records, "Attack of the Wolf King" was recorded in Richmond, Virginia with veteran producer Andreas Magnusson (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, OH SLEEPER).
