Artist Of The Week - Anchor & Braille

It's been about three years since we've gotten an album from Anchor & Braille, the indie side project of Anberlin's Stephen Christian, but this week, on July 31st, the band's sophomore album will be released. The Quiet Life is a collection of haunting melodies and catchy percussion, certainly a maturation of sound since 2009's Felt. The Quiet Life is available now in stores and online through Tooth & Nail Records.

February 10, 2012 - Resurgent metal powerhouse MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE is pleased to unleash a new lyric video for "On Wings of Integrity Pt. 2," the first single off the band's self-titled album, available online and in stores everywhere March 13 via Solid State Records.

A chugging, monolithic shout-along, the standout track is a powerful glimpse into MCMB's new, refined sound. "Pt. 2" is an added treat for longtime fans, who will recognize it as a companion to crowd favorite "On Wings of Integrity," which appeared on the band's 2008 debut album.

"Not only is 'On Wings of Integrity Pt. 1' one of our favorite songs to play live, it's one of our fans' favorites too!" says singer Matthew Hasting. "We thought, what better song to showcase than the brother of one of our signature songs. 'Part 2' best represents our mission statements as a band - positivity, truth, and hope in this dark world!"



As momentum builds towards the March 13 release of MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE, the band will be holding a series of interactive fan events, beginning with a live video chat this Monday, February 13. At 7 p.m. EST fans can chat live with band members, who will answer all of their burning questions.

For MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE, the self-titled album represents a new chapter for the band, and stamps the advent of a refined sound the members have been chasing since MCMB's inception. "That's exactly what this album is, a new beginning," says guitarist Robert Bloomfield. "I really do feel we found our sound. It's definitely MCMB still, but with this new flare that we've all loved and understood but never figured out a way to translate it to our music. I feel like everything we've done as a band all comes together in this one record. It's the best album in our career so far."

Recorded with esteemed producer Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall), MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE finds the band reaching deep mentally and emotionally for what is without a doubt their crowning achievement thus far, a hard-hitting, experimental, cinematic opus that will set a fire in the hearts of old and new fans alike. With a no-holds-barred approach to programming and effects, and good, old-fashioned brutal riffage - not to mention a new level of dynamics from frontman Matthew Hasting - MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE have boldly redefined themselves for this new chapter of their career.

In celebration of the release, the band will be setting sail on a two-month trek alongside FOR TODAY, A SKYLIT DRIVE, STICK TO YOUR GUNS and MAKE ME FAMOUS that includes dozens of stops throughout the U.S. and Canada, culminating in a spot at the infamous New England Metal and Hardcore Festival in Worcester, MA.
