When Layouts Change: For The Love Of

For The Love Of's debut record, "Feasting On The Will Of Humanity" was originally self-released through their Signature Records label before it was reissued by Ferret Records less than a year later.  I'm not sure how many were pressed via Signature, but I don't seem to see them pop up very often, so the numbers could have been down around 500.  When Ferret reissued the CD, a lot of the original art was retained, but it was still heavily redesigned, as you can see below.

Torchbearer (members of For The Love Of, Ensign and Nora) New LP Info

Our friend Chris Ross recently hit us to let us know that his band, Torchbearer, just finished recording tracks for a brand new LP. The record will be released on August 30th via All Ears Music. You can check out the press release below:

New Jersey’s Torchbearer have posted two new songs from their pending full-length “The Dirty Swagger” as well as an internet-only bonus track. The songs can be found at https://www.facebook.com/TorchbearerNJ
“The Dirty Swagger” was recorded at CDR studios, and was mastered by Carson Slovak (Century, Armsbendback) at Atrium Audio . The record is currently scheduled for a digital release on August 30th via All Ears Records, with a limited pressing on vinyl to follow.
The full-length is the follow-up release to 2009’s “The Worst is Yet to Come” 7-inch on Soul Rebel records, and sees the band (which features current and ex-members of Nora, Ensign, and For the Love of) expanding upon their own personal blend of Deadguy-inspired metalcore to incorporate new influences from the entire spectrum of hardcore, metal, noise, thrash and beyond."
