THE AUTUMN OFFERING: New Song Posted Online

August 18, 2010

"Synapse", a brand new song from THE AUTUMN OFFERING, is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off THE AUTUMN OFFERING's new, self-titled album, which is scheduled for release on August 31 via Victory Records. According to a press release, the CD is "the band's most crushing release to date" and is "chock-full of blast beats and twin guitar wizardry" while "vocalist Matt McChesney sounds as if he is being burned at the stake."

"The Autumn Offering" track listing:

01. Synapse
02. Born Dead
03. Exhale The Locusts
04. Fed To The Lions
05. Hessian Blade
06. Death Mask
07. Viral
08. Among Wolves
09. Bloodlust
10. Myriad Black
11. A Return To Ashes

"Born Dead", the new video from THE AUTUMN OFFERING, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed in Chicago with director Eric Richter.

McChesney and drummer Brian Sculley met while both were in the New England grind band CADAVERYNE. Tommy Church did his time in the death metal outfit END OF ALL, which later went on to become KILL WHITNEY DEAD. Newcomer Jesse Nunn served in SCUM OF THE EARTH and SILENT CIVILIAN.

Commented McChesney: "I always thought we were unfairly lumped in with the 'metalcore' bands. I always thought we did much more musically and were a bit more sophisticated than your typical good-cop/bad-cop band. It takes balls to admit this, but yeah, we wrote a few songs that were mistakes. We made a push, half heartedly, for the mainstream. Yet I feel like a few bad choices don't taint two albums that I love dearly.

"There were a million reasons to make a record like this. Also, sensing the death of that genre of metal, it made no sense to make a record that resembled it. I think we came out of it all, integrity intact."

THE AUTUMN OFFERING's last album, "Requiem", came out in June 2009 via Victory Records. The CD was recorded at AudioHammer Studios in Sanford, Florida.
