ANGR (Ain’t No Grave Recordings)

ANGR is dedicated to working alongside the most engaging spirit-filled bands from deep within the heavy music underground whose ambitions reach beyond simple scenes. A collection of individuals with diverse approaches and points of view but a shared overall vision. The bands who are associated with ANGR place a high value on the words within their music, their interaction with their audiences and their impact upon the world from an artistic and philosophic standpoint. Not every band evangelizes, but none will compromise the heart of what they’re doing.

Century Media Records has been known for 20 years as one of the most innovative and ground breaking indie music labels in the world. Long has the label pushed forth and developed some of the leading metal and hard rock bands no matter the genre tag applied, 2011 sees this grow one step further with their new partnership alongside the ANGR brand.

ANGR was developed by Ryan Downey a Ryan “The Dog” Nelson, both music veterans whose experiences stretch across media, management, merchandising and touring. ANGR will not only develop talent but also actively publicize charitable causes worthy of support.

Ain’t No Grave Recordings and Century Media Records are excited to welcome their first two signings to the new label: Sleeping Giant and The Great Commission.

“Ain’t No Grave (Can Hold This Body Down)” is an old traditional country standard, most recently popularized by Johnny Cash. The spirit within the song’s lyrics and the life of truth-seeking, honesty, worship and rebelliousness against convention led by artists like Cash and other giants in the contemporary artistic world is at the heart of what ANGR looks to accomplish. Stay tuned for more news on the label, Sleeping Giant and The Great Commission.

LIVING SACRIFICE…On Tour

Metal legends LIVING SACRIFICE have announced a U.S. co-headlining tour, dubbed ‘The Abominable Snowtour’, that will crisscross the nation from February 5-28. The band will share top billing throughout the tour with metal cohorts WAR OF AGES, with support from SHAI HULUD, LIONHEART and THE GREAT COMMISSION.

“We are really excited to get out and play some of the new stuff live,” says LIVING SACRIFICE frontman Bruce Fitzhugh. “We’re also stoked on the other bands on the tour. I’ve been a fan of SHAI HULUD for years, and we have become close with the WAR OF AGES guys over the last few years, playing together at festivals. We’re just really glad to be able to do this.”

 The tour comes on the heels of the release of The Infinite Order, in stores January 26 on SolidState Records. The album - LIVING SACRIFICE’s seventh full-length overall, and first since 2002’s acclaimed Conceived In Fire – is shaping up to be one of 2010’s most hotly anticipated metal releases. The Infinite Order finds the band returning to its thrash roots for an unapologetic reminder of how unrelenting, honest metal is done at a time when some folks could use a reminder.   There aren’t too many metal lifers out there who AREN’T named SLAYER or METALLICA that are still making ferociously relevant music 20 years into their career. LIVING SACRIFICE are among the few and the proud, and despite the fact that they have inspired a huge portion of today’s young metal bands, they’re still playing like they’ve got something to prove.”  LIVING SACRIFICE have opened the gates for album pre-orders, with several options available, including added value such as DVDs and t-shirts.
