Black Friday 29's debut album "The Escape" is going to be re-released by Let it Burn Records in April 2010.

Let it Burn founder and CEO Chris:
"If I had to choose the top-5 European hardcore records of all time, "The Escape" would, without any doubt, be a part of it. This album is so full of spirit and passion, so full of positive energy and youthful ambitions, it's hard to believe it wasn't written during the golden era of hardcore, the 1980s, but in 2004. Since then it underlined and shaped the understanding of hardcore of thousands of kids around the globe, lyricwise and musically.

Everyone who has ever seen BLACK FRIDAY 29 play "Kill this Dream", "Pressure Release", "Open Letter" or ANY other song from "The Escape" live knows what I am talking about and most likely shares the same feeling for this album as I do. I've seen some of the most impressive singalong-scenes, highest pile-ons and most crazy stagedives to these songs. I've seen kids going crazy to this everywhere for 5 years straight now. With "The Escape" BLACK FRIDAY 29 have created something indestructible, something to outlast decades."

Thus we are more than proud to re-release "The Escape" on Let it Burn Records. The CDs comes along with a revised artwork, linernotes by their singer Björn and a very special bonus track for a reasonable price on CD and digital download. This is THE European hardcore classic and a must-have. Period.

Our friends at ALLSCHOOLS have launched a very indepth interview with GOLDUST introducing their new album "Destroyer | Borderlines". Go check it out!

Alright, fasten your seatbelts: In order to unite all preeminent European hardcore bands in one big family, we made celebrate another big achievement: TO KILL are from now on part of the Let it Burn Records roster! We heartly welcome our Italian friends and look forward to releasing their arresting new album "Antarctica" any time soon.

There's a lot of bands who claim to be "hard working" and "dedicated" but most of their strength lies in getting drunk at band practices, playing local shows and recording a demo every two years. The bequest TO KILL has already created since their formation in 2004 is intangible. Besides the release of three albums and two EPs, they are one of the most active touring bands in hardcore: over 10 (!) extensive European and US tours with bands such as BANE, HAVE HEART, LIFERUINER, PARKWAY DRIVE, BURY YOUR DEAD, VERSE, SET YOUR GOALS, RAISED FIST, GATHER and so on is an amount that European band can trump. TO KILL literally live "on the road".

TO KILL about their signing with Let it Burn Records: "We have some good news from the ToKill camp: After we parted ways with our old label, we've been talking and discussing on what would be the best for us as a band and considering their amazing work ethic, their deep hardcore rooted attitude and the happiness they showed in the possibility of working with us, we feel like we found a new home in one of the longest running hardcore labels in Europe, the german based Let It Burn records. We've known these guys for a long time and we know we can totally trust them in the release of our new record 'Antarctica'."

We already got a chance to listen to 'Antarctica' and were quite impressed by the new level of heaviness TO KILL have reached. A well balanced and effective mergence of metal (20%) and (modern) hardcore (80%) that sounds more '2010' than anything else from that genre-mix I heard in a long time. Check out our audio player or mp3-download section for a first impression.

Album artwork and release date are going to be announced any time soon. In the meantime catch the band on their tour with Shai Hulud.

Today Apple approved the LET IT BURN RECORDS app. It's available for download now and it's for free. There's news, tourdates, over 50 songs for free streaming, twitter & blog updates, pictures, videos, a full discography, general info on the label and lots more to be found in this app.

Stay tuned and updated with all your favorite Let it Burn Records artists such as ZERO MENTALITY, BLACK FRIDAY '29, FINAL PRAYER, BRIDGE TO SOLACE, GOLDUST, THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT, TEAMKILLER, TO KILL, STORM & STRESS, TODAY WE RISE, DEATHSPIRIT, ARMA ANGELUS, SOLID GROUND, THE CASSIDY SCENARIO and RED TAPE PARADE.

Our last signing in 2009 is without any doubt one of the most exciting ones: GOLDUST from Muenster, Germany are from now on part of the Let It burn Family! We are thrilled to welcome one of the very few promising german hardcore bands to our roster. GOLDUST have proven on previous tours and releases, that they incarnate everything threatening, exciting and genuine that hardcore used to stand for in the past.

The band about their signing: "After longstanding support from numerous underground record labels, GOLDUST are now happy to announce that we got the chance to release our new full length DESTROYER | BORDERLINES through one of Germany's longest running Hardcore labels, LET IT BURN Records. We couldn't be more pleased about how everything has developed for us as a band and we're excited about the possibility to cooperate with a well-placed label like LET IT BURN."

GOLDUST will release "DESTROYER | BORDERLINES" on April 2, 2010. What has been introduced on their "NOIR" 7" and the "AXIS" CD/LP will now be continued: a furious destructive blend of hardcore and metal on their own terms. Twelve new songs, marked by the energy and creativity of a new line-up, will merge these spheres once more.

Team LET IT BURN wishes you all a merry x-mas. 2009 is not over yet so stay tuned for yet another new signing being announced any time soon....
