Sad sad news from Italy: TO KILL have decided to split up. The band will however release their highly anticipated new album "antarctica" and hit the road one more time to present the new songs. We here at Let it Burn Records don't regret one thing. We are looking forward to releasing "antarctica" and to see the band on stage a few more last times. tourdates will be announced soon, as well as the album release date.

TO KILL statement:
"Sometimes in life you just get to the point where you need to move on.
To Kill has always been to us much much more than just playing and touring around, since we are truly each other's family and we felt, as a whole, that it was time for this part of our life together to end, since our personal paths were going in other directions and we all felt we wanted to pursue other aspects of our lives.
Often you hear about bands breaking up and want to know what's behind that, what's the truth behind it and what's to know in some generic statement, well this is not the case. We love each other more than ever, no one sold out, there's no bad feeling of any sort, we just felt this was the right time for this adventure to go to an end, and for new stuff to happen to us. The bond we share will never break.


A while ago we recorded our last album "antarctica", which we're very proud of and is a sort of an epitaph for our band, testifying how we've grown together. we fucking love it! This record will be out this summer on let it burn records at a soon to be announced date and will be available at all of our upcoming shows, because YES, we'll be playing some more shows.
Since we want to have the chance to say goodbye to all of you who made this ride the most incredible adventure in our lives so far, we'll be anouncing soon a few shows scheduled for this fall both in Italy and around Europe. It would mean the world if you could show up, sing, sweat and mosh with us, so...let's make it fucking epic, alright?

There would be a huge number of people to thank, so we will just thank all of you who made us feel privileged by touring and playing together the music that we love having the chance to say what we wanted to say, thanks for coming to shows, smiling, giving us a place to stay, buying a tshirt or just being nice . Thanks to all the ones involved in our band on a professional level, to all the bands we have been lucky enough to play with and to all those faces with no names which will be in our hearts forever.

You'll know more about the record and about the final shows soon.


with love.

Final Prayer will release "Best of Times" on Let it Burn Records July 7, 2010. This early discography CD contains Final Prayer’s debut album “Right Here Right Now”, their sold out split-releases with Alcatraz and Crisis Never ends, their unreleased first demo and a great cover song. 20 songs in total.

Felix / Final Prayer: "'Best of Times' first and foremost documents the band's early history: From the humble beginnings, aka the demo days, to two split releases, to the first album. Second, with the demo and the split releases being long out of print, seeing copies of our demo being sold for stupid amounts of money on Ebay not only made us wish we had kept some somewhere, but also made it a necessity to make these songs accessible again for a fair price. And furthermore this release hopefully serves as a thank you to all the people who have supported us from day one and continue to this day: Mathias from Our World rec., Rene Punchline, Marcel from Demons Run Amok, Chris from Let it Burn and all the people that asked us countless times about how to get copies of said releases. In retrospect we'd probably change a lot about some of the songs (if we could), but didn't Scott V. from Terror scream "no shame, no regrets" in all of our faces? There you go! Enjoy."

Chris / Let it Burn: "In all these years we’ve been running this label now we’ve never seen a band grow so rapidly like Final Prayer. They never lacked of self-confidence and one can say that they knew what they’ve been doing right from the start. But at the time we signed them we didn’t expect at all that they would grow such a huge and dedicated fanbase in such a short time. Go to a hardcore show and you can be sure to see at least 10 kids with a Final Prayer shirt (If Terror or Hatebreed is playing you can easily quadruple the number, hahaha!) Looking back at the last 6 years now I know what the plain and simple dodge is: Not giving a fuck. I hardly ever met such a straightforward no-nonsense band who did their own thing in such an adamant and confident way. It was & is a great pleasure to work with Final Prayer."

LET IT BURN RECORDS is on facebook. Daily updates, inside-news and loads of shit-stuff to be seen at: www.facebook.com/letitburnrecords. become a fan NOW!

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.

We are proud to be among the first independent/hardcore labels to release an iphone app and we are looking forward to your feedback.

GOLDUST have released the first song of their upcoming LET IT BURN album "Destroyer | Borderlines". it is called "Passage" and you can listen to it / download it at Myspace & the Let it Burn Webseite.

In addition to that the band also revealed their breathtaking album artwork. Go check it out.

The Cassidy Scenario have been featured on Freies Radio B138 (90,4 MHz). Check it out!

ZERO MENTALITY relased their brandnew video for the song "Electri Lips" (taken from "Black Rock" CD). Go check it out!

Alright everyone, 2010 is coming and we've already scheduled a lot of cool stuff for the new year. We really appreciate everyone's support, no matter if you buy cds, go to our bands' shows, buy their merch or spread the word. We don't take any of this for granted, never will. Thanks!

Have a good start in 2010!
All the best,
Team LET IT BURN

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....

The end of 2009 is drawing nearer and we're looking back on the most successful year in the label history. However we're not about to slow down in any way and can announce another amazing addition to our roster: TEAMKILLER from Stuttgart, Germany, have signed to LET IT BURN RECORDS and will release their highly anticipated new full length album in 2010.

TEAMKILLER about the cooperation: "We're glad to work with a constantly growing label of reliable and hard-working reputation. Also the fact that we have personal ties and work experience with them for a long time made the choice an easy one."

We're in the honorable position to work with the premier league of German hardcore bands and our latest signing TEAMKILLER fits very well in this context. We've been following this band since day one and we're looking forward to cooperate with such a self-confident and audacious band.

To shorten the wait until LET IT BURN RECORDS is going to release the new album, TEAMKILLER decided to release an additional MCD/10" on COBRA RECORDS before long. Check out their exciting new track "Nightcrawler" (myspace player / website music player) to get an idea what direction the band is heading for.

Chris & Feivel / LET IT BURN RECORDS

Zero Mentality are back with their latest and best album to date! An amalgamation of lava rock, magma metal and hardcore rocks.

The Blackout Argument have launched a new, multi-functional and highly informative bandwebsite you should definitely check out. WWW.THEBLACKOUTARGUMENT.COM

The music biz has become more and more erratic and tough. Most bands cannot maintain their position and bog into the magma of irrelevance. Not Zero Mentality. Indestructible like a diamond they pull through their own thing and belong to the few bands in the European heavy music scene that neither bend nor break. Zero Mentality have now amalgamated with Let it Burn Records into oneness in order to bring their new album 'Black Rock' to life. With eagerness and anticipation we're looking forward to this cooperation. October 9, 2009 'Black Rock' will break through the sial and cause devastation and chaos!

Zero Mentality on the signing with Let it Burn and their future plans: "After protracted and intense negotiations with record labels like Warner, Sony and Ariola we finally decided in favor of the Independent Label Let It Burn Records from Munich, Germany. Chris made us an offer we just could not refuse."
On October 9th 2009, Black Rock will hit the heart of the planet of the apes with a release-show in the Ruhrpott-area. It will tear down the pillars of bad taste. The obligatory Black Rock Tour in october/november will bring unforeseen terror and therefore be a historical caesura in the music of the apes."


‘Black Rock’ has been recorded with friend and producer Jacob Bredhal and is Zero Mentality’s very own, unconventional, anti-trend interpretation of metal, rock and hardcore-punk. ‘Black Rock’ is going to open your eyes and fulfill your life.

BLACK FRIDAY '29 have signed with LET IT BURN RECORDS for the release of their upcoming landmark album "Black Friday 2009".

The world's going to hell, it's craziness and confusion everywhere, even in the underground music scene. There are hardly any ways to counter freaky trends and desperate deeds aside from sticking to true, original hardcore qualities such as trust, loyalty and dedication. For more than 7 years Black Friday '29 have personified these traits more than any other European Hardcore Band. They are one of the few cornerstones in this scene you can blindly rely on and believe me, we are more than proud and completely filled with pleasant anticipation to release the band's brand new output 'Black Friday 2009'.

'Black Friday 2009' contains 9 Songs and is scheduled for late spring 2009. A concrete release date is to be announced soon. The Band will be touring Europe from April 3 to April 12.

Read the band's statement about the collaboration:
"We are very happy about working together with Let it Burn on our new Mini Album: Black Friday 2009. Frontman and founder Björn and long time member Pete have known Chris (Let it Burn Records) for almost 10 years now since playing together with their old bands (Homerun and I) in ca. 2000. From then on all of them always appreciated the others work in bands, labels and other efforts. So finally we found a way of cooperating with Chris and his label on our newest output. We view it as a continuation from working together with Blacktop Records, as Blacktop and Let it Burn have been working together successfully in the past years and both work in a similar manner. We're stoked!"

Find out more about this release and stay tuned for a first song to check out by keeping an eye on:

The releasedate for THE CASSIDY SCENARIO's highly anticipated debut album "Withstanding Voracity" has now been carved into stone: May 8, 2009. In addition to this the band has launched TWO brand new songs of "Withstanding Voracity" on their myspace profile, you should definitely check out at www.myspace.com/thecassidyscenario

The guys in SOLID GROUND are already back with a new band: ANIMAL INSTINCT! check out their myspace...

Sad news from the TWR camp. After four years their drummer Jens will leave TWR in 2009. Unfortunately, it became more and more difficult for him (due to his academic studies and other personal reasons) to invest the time & commitment into the band that being a member in TWR requires.

The rest of the band will continue playing cool music. Since one drummer jumped ship TWR is hereby officially looking for a new drummer.

So if you play, or know someone, or know someone who knows someone – you know what to do. Just send a mail to info(at)todaywerise.com or myspace.

we wish our bands, partners, friends and supporters all the best for 2009. Let's make this year burn!!

Switzerland's permier hardcore band Solid Ground (2003-2008) have left us an amazing final present, a farewell EP released through Let it Burn Records on January 1, 2009. It is titled "This World Keeps Spinning Without You" and is available FOR FREE at www.myspace.com/solidgroundrip. A physical cd version is following in March 2009.

Shortmessage: We added the RED TAPE PARADE album and the STORM & STRESS mcd to the online shop. buy now:

TIT FOR TAT! People told us that friendship and business should be separated to avoid conflicts but with Let it Burn, Blacktop, Storm & Stress and The Blackout Argument it is exactly the other way round. Call it imperialistic or cartelization but we have the best times signing each other’s bands. Yeah right, whatever… Storm & Stress would have deserved no other record label but Let it Burn Records, anyway. This is going to be a blast!

Storm & Stress’ spiritual adviser and manager Wazskostas Testosteron says: “The band is really happy to be part of a new family, the Let It Burn Records family. In times of pure asociality, where no one can save them from their genetic and mental decay, there was no other way to help Storm & Stress getting their pants back than selling their soul to Let It Burn Records. Chris and Feivel definitely are the best missionaries for the lost souls in Storm & Stress. I just phoned the gaming HQ in Ibbenbüren and got the band’s feedback, which was: ‘Good.’”

Storm & Stress' fabulous "Sin" MCD will be out October 31, 2008.

2008 is one hell of a year for LET IT BURN RECORDS. Never before we have enlargened our roster with such a great amount of bands within such a short time. The latest addition to the family are THE CASSIDY SCENARIO from Linz (AT). We have basically witnessed the whole band evolution since day one and were impressed by their extremely high degree of professionalism and dedication.

Risen from the ashes of Austrian supergroup ESTATE, THE CASSIDY SCENARIO break completely new grounds compared to their predecessors, musically and conceptually. Influenced by bands such as Will Haven, This Is Hell, Modern Life Is War, Poison The Well and Comeback Kid and with a restless 'on the road' attitude the bands career will further accelerate.

THE CASSIDY SCENARIO will release their debut album "Withstanding Voracity" on Let it Burn Records in early 2009. The band is currently preparing for the studio to record with Toni Meloni (Principal Studios / Caliban, The Sorrow, Estate, etc). The album artwork has been created by noone less than Dan Mumford (Gallows, Bring Me The Horizon, Set Your Goals, The Black Dahlia Murder, Architects, etc.).

Here's the band's statement on this signing: "To hell with all puff pieces about signing news and so on, here's what we all think: It feels good that there are people that like what and how we do it, people who trust us and who we trust. Thanks to the guys at LET IT BURN RECORDS for their efforts and their support. We know that they'll do an amazing job as they did with all their great artists in the past. There could be no better home for our upcoming debut album 'Withstanding Voracity'."

We here at LET IT BURN RECORDS are looking forward to the liaison and are happy to give THE CASSIDY SCENARIO an extra boost on their way to the top.

THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT got a double-page feature in the current issue of STARDUST MAGAZINE and a half-page at FUZE MAGAZINE. Chris talks about the sense of free online release, crucial changes in the music industry and the deeper sense behing "smile like a wolf". check it out (pdf links below):

THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT have released a limited 7inch version of their fabulous "Smile Like A Wolf" EP. it contains 3 songs of the download ep and one exclusive bonus track. read the band's statement:
"To not bore you to death with the usual 'we are so happy that label X has released our release Z"-chatter I will cut this short: Niko / Blacktop is one hell of a cool guy and when the idea came up to release a limited 7inch of "Smile Like A Wolf" there was only one option for us, Blacktop Records." We know that some of you kids might have problems with the new Blacktop catalog. A lot of Niko's latest signings do not really reflect what's commonly understood under the term 'hardcore' but take a second now and listen up: who gives a fuck?! Niko is doing an amazing job with Blacktop since day one and broadening his roster with bands that might not be as 'crucial' as some of his previous signings is daring but at the same time it deserves to be supported. So take the thumb out of your ass and check out some new bands that do/did not split after the first demo and 7inch."

And here's what Niko / Blacktop has to say about the cooperation:
"Everyone who claims to know me has realized that I to sign whatever band I like, no matter if the kids think it does or does not fit in the Blacktop roster. And here we go once again: I loved The Blackout Argument since the day Chris gave me their first EP. I’ve seen them live, shared stages with them and worked with Chris’ label Let It Burn Records and it has always been a pleasure. I like professionalism, I like well-organized and dedicated bands & people and I like the so called 'Modern Hardcore'. Confront The Blackout Argument with whatever stereotype prejudice you like, it's a hardcore band, so get your hand on this release and be enlightened."

Read here what Martin SG has to say:

"yo
some may already have heard the news:

solid ground decided to call it a day. nothing really bad happend. it
is just that over the last 1 or 2 years, it was getting harder and harder to keep the band going on a level that we wanted to. due to job responsibilities, among other duties, we couldn't dedicate as much time to the band as we wanted to.

however we feel that there is also no reason whatsoever to stop the band right here and now. we are still going to play the bunch of shows this summer that are already booked, plus we want to finish this band in an appropriatebway. so we are going to do one last european tour in october. which by the way is being book by our friends at avocado bookings as i write this.

we always felt that playing shows is one of the most important and
fun things with solid ground. so everyone out there that wants to see us one last time, make sure to come out to those last few shows and have fun!
check our website for dates and venues. we definitely will give a 120 % for each and every show - just as we always did.

after our european tour we will play one official last show here in
switzerland, which will be announced later on.
the madness is not over yet !
if all goes well, we are even going to record the last four songs that we just wrote. we are very proud of these tunes and, like every band, we think our latest stuff is our best! :-) so we feel it would be a shame if those songs would never see the light of day.

and in case you don't know or i forgot to mention ... the guys in
CHEAP THRILLS rule big time!!! check out these boys if you haven't yet."

The Blackout Argument are going to hit the road in August together with one hell of a crazy band from the UK called ARCHITECTS (Century Media), supporting "Smile Like A Wolf". Make sure you catch them at one of their shows...

The free online ep by The Blackout Argument is now free for download at WWW.SMILELIKEAWOLF.COM. Go get it!

we are excited about releasing our first non-physical sound carrier. It's gonna an online EP by Germany's most promising underground act THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT (Courtesy of LIFEFORCE RECORDS). The 5-song EP is entitled "Smile Like A Wolf" and will be FREE for download at WWW.SMILELIKEAWOLF.COM from June 1, 2008.
"Smile Like A Wolf" are the band's first recordings with their new vocalist Raphael Schmid. THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT are going to release their next regular album in January 2009 on LIFEFORCE RECORDS.

HERE'S THE BAND'S STATEMENT:
"Dear lovers & fighters,
In times when the music industry is stumbling across its own feet, it is time to break new ground. As a band you have 2 choices, you either play the game by the old rules hoping you're one of the few at the mercy of the old marketing and promotion strategies. Or you can trailblaze your own pathway through the ever-changing music business jungle.
Sounds a lot like biz-talk, but in the end it's all about you, the fan, the listener, the fuel that keeps The Blackout Argument running. We have toured with Boy Sets Fire, Parkway Drive, This is Hell, just to name a few, played shows all over Europe, we have various releases out on great independent labels, a ongoing record deal with Lifeforce Records, got massive press attention all over the place, worked with some of the most renowned designers and have a long list of partners and supporters. Yet still, this is all about you. It's you who we are trying to reach with our message and music.
To go the most direct way without detour to your hearts and ears we decided to release a FREE DOWNLOAD EP in June 2008. It's titled "Smile Like A Wolf" and contains 5 brand new and exclusive songs, by the way the first recordings with Roughael, our new singer. No fees, no email-registration, no myspace friend requests requiery or any other bullshit. Just go to www.smilelikeawolf.com and download the songs for free alongside a complete cd artwork and lyrics.
We put at least as much effort in "Smile Like A Wolf" as in any other release we put out so far. We spent hours and hours at the practice place, later on in the studio, forced our most drastic life experiences into lyrics, got Dave Quiggle (Rise And Fall, Sick of it All, Atreyu, War of Ages, etc.) to do the artwork and Milchglas Media to do the web development, to make sure "Smile Like A Wolf" is gonna fully satisfy us and you. This is our hearts and our lives, this is what we love to do and this is what we want to share with you, the fan, the listener, the fuel that keeps us running.
Chris, Sascha, Phil, Roughael, Chris
(a.k.a. THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT)"

Listen up: DEATHSPIRIT have launched their website. Big thanks go out to the guys in MILCHGLAS MEDIA who took care of the realization of this project. You can listen to all DEATHSPIRIT songs in high quality here. check it out: www.deathspirit.de

The Let it Burn Showcase Weekend is over and I wanted to blast out a short but big THANK YOU to everyone who was involved:

first of fall Nanouk / Avocado, my partner in crime who contributed a big part to both shows with his professionality and weird haircut!

then of course all the bands who played the two shows.

Final Prayer, Today We Rise, Solid Ground & Deathspirit: thanks for rocking out!

Mike Chamrad for taking some genius pictures!!!

Martin Metzger and his wife for muffins, distro and transportation.

also both promoters, Franz / Feierwerk and Anselm/Juha West who did a great job and delivered enough booze and food to make all bands happy.

and last but not least a big shout out to all the kids who showed up, danced, sang along and lost blood & sweat at both showcases.

See you all next year for the Let it Burn Showcases 2009!

it goes without saying that our most recent family addition TODAY WE RISE will also join the bill on the LET IT BURN SHOWCASES on Apri 4 and 5. They will share the stage with their new label mates SOLID GROUND, DEATHSPIRIT, FINAL PRAYER and MISCREANTS.

We continue the Let it Burn crusade with the addition of yet another new familiy member. TODAY WE RISE is the first band ever to be signed as a result of sending us a demo and not because we have known them already before. I guess this fact speaks for itself. We are at least as excited about this collaboration as the band is and look forward to releasing their debut album in autumn 2008.

Voices from TODAY WE RISE: “Right from the start we felt a great deal of passion in everything LIB does, a feeling that has only become stronger so far. We are in contact with the label all the time - something that is really important to us. Keeping a close knit relationship with everyone we work with is a key factor for this band. We want to keep it as personal as possible, and this is something LIB definitely has provided so far. Everyone in this band is really stoked about the signing and the help we have already received. We feel that this was the right thing to do and that LIB will help us becoming the band we want to be.”

We have been keeping track of TODAY WE RISE ever since their first demo, which already impressed us a lot. The fact that the band, even without any label support, managed to play in almost every corner of the map and make themselves a name as a hardworking and dedicated band finally led to their signing with LET IT BURN RECORDS.

TODAY WE RISE: “With the support of the LIB staff we feel that we finally can use our potential to the fullest extent – We feel blessed to have support from people who not only work in the industry, but on top of all things play in a great band themselves – every piece of advice they will give us is not based on some marketing strategy or trend thing, but a result of something that the people of LIB have gone through themselves."

We already got the chance to pre-listen some of their new material, which only fortified our belief that 2008 will be the year of TODAY WE RISE.

The SOLID GROUND / CHEAP THRILLS tourdates are all confirmed now. please check our tour-section or the AVOCADO BOOKING website to find out when SG is playing your city and make sure you show up.

Who would have thought that? Only one signing in whole 2007 and 2008 starts with three in a row! After DEATHSPIRIT and RED TAPE PARADE we announce the third band that will enlargen our roster: Swiss hardcore legend SOLID GROUND have joined us and will release their highly anticipated new album "Can't Stop Now" March 15, 2008. Needless to say that we are honored to work with a hardcore band of such high integrity.

Can’t Stop Now features 15 tracks of hardcore the way it was initially meant to be. While still staying true to their unique sound, SOLID GROUND's new material turned out to be way heavier and severe than songs previously written.

The band decided to upload three brand new songs to their myspace profile. You can also download them in high quality in our audio section.

As touring is SOLID GROUND's "calling card", they're gonna hit the road with CHEAP THRILLS in March 2008, just starting off on the release date of the album. Check out the AVOCADO BOOKING website for dates and info.

The new year starts with a great announcement: We have just teamed up with RED TAPE PARADE from southern Germany and thus enlargened our roster with one of the most amazing new hardcore/punk bands these days.

Label owner Chris Zehetleitner about the signing: “We here at LET IT BURN just fell in love with the passionate music this band plays and most of all with their upright ‘we don’t give a fuck’ attitude. In times of ‘clone wars’ within the underground scene, a band like RED TAPE PARADE is exactly what we were looking for!”

Oise Ronsberger-Palmer (bassist) about the origin of the band: “So in 2006 i was pretty done with hardcore in a musical sense. More assholes then you can shake a stick at, more clichees that any self respecting punk could take. Punkrock - once a radical form of music that insprired us to escape our own boring lives and to pick up our instruments - now seemed to split up in several ridicolous sub-genres. Macho-jock-metal, self indulgent emo, ironic post-punk hippness and shitty overproduced corporate pop-punk-wolves-in-punk-sheep- clothes.
But then i recieved a package from Revelation Records that contained cds by Sinking Ships, Shook Ones and - most important - End Of A Year. I realized that i still wasn' t done playing loud, distored music filled with anger and post-teenage angst. A few phone calls later the musical backbone of what was to become RED TAPE PARADE practised for the first time in december 2006. All of us were active in several punk/indie bands like Static84, Driving The Salt, Anything but yours, John Deere or Là Par Force. Spring 2007 we found our singer Wauz (probably the last Lagwagon fan on planet earth) and after only practising once as a complete band we recorded our eight song demo in a few hours in a messy practise space in Regensburg.”

Within a few months the band released their debut demo for free on the internet and got great reactions from both, listeners and press. In order to work on their first full length album, RED TAPE PARADE started talking to labels: “We started to feel them out and we now found some that we think know where we are coming from and what this band is about.” The CD version of the album will be released by LET IT BURN RECORDS, the vinyl version by FIELDS OF HOPE. There’s also going to be a south-east-asian CD pressing done by BASEMENT RECORDS.

Oise Ronsberger about the cooperation: “I know Chris for a long time and the fact that he knows the ‘music business’ from both sides - musician and label owner - makes him so much more reliable as a partner.”

The debut album will be recorded and mixed in late March 2008 with Californian based producer Mike Drohman at out-o-space studios in Goettingen with the help of engineer Tom Spoetter. The release date is scheduled for July 15, 2008.

It's been a while since the Let it Burn Family embraced a new member, but now we take pride in signing DEATHSPIRIT from Southern Germany. With almost all members of disbanded PAINT THE TOWN RED, this band has some familiar faces and old stagers in their rows. DEATHSPIRIT's self titled debut-mcd will be coming your way soon. To get an idea what this band is about, check their myspace.

Yup, it has been quiet for a little while in the Final Prayer camp. That doesn´t necessarily mean we´ve been lazy, as we´ve been busy working on new songs, writing lyrics as well as chilling in Barcelona whilst playing a festival there, hehe. You´re right, no complaints from our side about how hard it is playing in a band: we continue to have a blast all the time. As you´ll be pleased to know we got our studio-dates booked at the end of november, so a new full length should be out spring 2008. We´re in the middle of talking to some labels who are willing to put it out. Whenever we´ll have additional informations on this we´ll let you all know. The record will have about 10 new songs on it and it´s gonna be a rager for sure. We have a couple of shows lined up in the next couple of months, although live-performances will be limited due to the band still being in the midst of the songwriting process for the new record. So come out and say hello if we happen to play anywhere near your place!

P.S.: Check out the Berlin HC Sampler on Mad Mob rec. (www.madmob.de), featuring a ton of Berlins coolest Bands! We did a cover-version of Alone in a crowds “is anybody there” for the sampler. That song, our more correctly our version of it, is previously unreleased, so go and check it out!

The ideal of “hard living” used to be synonymous with hardcore/punk. Clashing with authority, facing life's woes and the victimizing effect society can crash down upon weary shoulders were standard institutions that fueled the greatest creative minds and outlets. Gone are those days of desperation. Outrage is now faked and urgency is mimed by multi-generational clones who’ve never known what the wrong side of the tracks look like.

Heaven forbid someone shouts what the world really looks like; the dirt, the grime… And no one dares to throw retribution back at the social order. Like a caged beast living under the yolk of a destructive and gritty civilization, retaliation must come. When humanity has run amok, unchecked with its coldness, there needs to be a line in the sand.

When thoughts are chained and oppressed, when ideas are beaten out of the masses with propaganda, what hope is there to cast off the shackles and think freely, to see how the world really is?

Does anyone dare throw reprisal at this dark culture where society’s sickly grasp tightens around the neck of the outraged?

Despair gives way to anger which can only be bottled for so long before the truth comes roaring, comes shouting, resisting and defying with every ounce of strength until the truth be known to all that can hear.

Check out the latest issue of FUZE MAGAZINE for a short but indeep MISCREANTS interview. You can download the magazine for free at the link below.

Just a short note to let you know that MISCREANTS debut MCD "Welcome The" is out to destroy you now!

Miscreants and guitarist Rick Venema have officially parted ways, on good terms.
"The time came for both parties to cut the gordian knot and make a decision for the band's sake. Rick's a great bandmate and a good friend but in order for things to move forward with Miscreants we needed to let him go. No hard feelings. No regrets. We'd like to thank Rick for all his efforts and wish him the best of luck in the future. We are looking forward to touring with him one last time this summer!
After Miscreants' upcoming European tour with Age of Ruin, in support of our August 3rd release on Let It Burn Record, we will not immediately be looking for a replacement.
We are in the middle of writing a new record - halfway done as a matter of fact - and will look for a full-time member once the record has been recorded. Until then we will ask friends to fill in for Rick upcoming tours and see where that takes us..."

Everyone listen up, Final Prayer has just been added to the WITH FULL FORCE bill for Sunday 1400. If you're at the festival make sure you wake up early to mosh the hell out of the metalheads!

Friends, bookers, promoters and music fans!! Miscreants will be on tour all throughout Europe with Age of Ruin from August 7th until August 23rd. Joining us for the last week of that tour are Denmark's permier thrashers, As We Fight. Anyone interested in booking a show for this date, please contact jelle@claritybooking.com

Directly after the AoR / As We Fight tour Miscreants will be doing an additional 2 weeks of shows all across Europe to support the release of their EP 'Welcome the Miscreants'. Anyone interested in booking Miscreants from August 23rd until September 8th. Please get in touch through eucatastrophebooking@gmail.com

Its been a long time since we signed a new band last time but it was definitely worth the waiting. Let it Burn Records heartly welcomes the Miscreants from Holland! We're constantly observing the European underground music scene and Miscreants is definitely one of the most promising bands these days. Within the short time since their formation they have showed more dedication and guts than most other bands out there. Above all Miscreants have recorded one hell of a debut MCD which we are more than proud to release. To get an idea of what we are talking about simply check out their song "Blood As Spirit" and you'll know.

"I am extremely pleased to work with Let It Burn Records" says Miscreants' vocalist van der Velde. "Chris (LIB) showed great interest in the band from the start. He is as excited about the band as we are and has given us great confidence. We aim to prove that his interest and Let It Burn's efforts to get us out there with this release are well deserved. Expect to see us out on the road all over the place with all sorts of bands, proudly flying the Let It Burn flag from our 'Ship of Fools' ( i.e. van)! "

We are looking forward to working with Miscreants and are happy to have enlarged our roster with such an amazing band.

Check out what you have missed. This is the last song AWOKEN ever performed.

We have some not so good news from Switzerland's Mosh-Metallers Dark Day Dungeon. Read their offiicial statement: "Dear friends and enemys, lovers and haters. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose it all. Dark Day Dungeon was never destined to win. So once again we're losing. This time our guitarplayer Attila Varga. For the last three weeks we've been talking things over and over and sadly some decisions had to be made. We are all very unhappy with his decisions but have to respect that of course. Attila will leave the band. We're still good friends though! No fights, no bullshit talking, no nothing. All the shows that have been booked will be played normaly, don't worry. And the band will go on! We just don't know how yet. After the final shows with Attila we'll take a break, form the new team, maybe even record all the new songs we've written, release them. If it's gonna be under the name of Dark Day Dungeon remains to be seen. Thanx for reading and we'll keep you posted."

we are heartbroken that one of the greatest and hardest working bands in our roster decided to call it a day. Here's the official statement by the band:

With regret and sadness, we are announcing our end. For us, Awoken has always been more than a band. It has dominated our lives for 4 years and it was, and still is a symbol of friendship, ambition, and perseverance. We achieved so much more than we ever set out to and it has been an honour representing UK hardcore across Europe. It's difficult to explain the reasons why we're calling it a day, but let's just say that we've hit a metaphorical brick wall. We've grasped every opportunity that has been thrown at us and now we're all out of new pathways. We could go on, losing money on tours and hacking away at the same cities, but we've always been adamant that Awoken should never, ever become stagnant in any way. It has never been a "weekend" thing so we'd never be happy just playing the odd show, or recording a few songs whenever we've saved enough money. In short, Awoken is all or nothing. We've been living our dreams, and sooner or later, reality was always bound to come crashing down. We always did things our way, mostly DIY, and we always stuck to our guns no matter what changes might have brought us more success. We hope that we will always be seen as a positive part of the London, UK, and European hardcore legacy and we cannot thank enough those who have helped us to achieve everything we did. You know who you are.

We will be playing our final show at The Bull & Gate, Kentish Town, London, on the 18th of February, and we would like to invite everyone - from old friends to new kids - to come and say farewell.

Over and out!
-Awoken

Another chapter in the LET IT BURN saga: Southern Germany united. Stuttgart's metalkings CRISIS NEVER ENDS have teamed up with LET IT BURN RECORDS for a rerelease of their amazing album "A Heartbeat Away". The band says: "as some of you might have read in the latest interviews we gave about CNE: the rumours are true. CNE quits with Beniihana - Records in case of different reasons. Thanx to Bjoern for his efforts in the past and becoming and staying a friend. Our press of "A heartbeat away" is nearly sold out so we decided to look for a new label who wants to do a re-press. We are glad to tell you that we are now part of the LET IT BURN RECORDS roster. The releasedate for the re-press is scheduled to beginning of 2007! Album artwork will be announced the next days."

Besides playing a couple of shows with amazing bands like Solid Ground, No Turning Back etc. throughout the last weeks, we´re busy writing new songs and preparing for our Winter Tour with Awoken which starts November 23rd. Nevertheless we´ll play the Maximum Destruction Fest II this Saturday in Essen. The line-up looks amazing and it´ll be fun times for sure. There´s still plenty of tickets available and even Emo-Chris from Let it Burn records will be there, so why no jump in your car this Saturday and make a road-trip to Essen. If you do, be sure to check us out, and eventually rage, while we´re playing from 18.00-18.30 h on Stage 2!!! We´ll also play a rad show this Sunday in Rosswein with 108, Blacklisted, Rise & fall and SHC, would be rad to see some of you there, too.

FP wishes to thank everybody, who made our 5-day tour over Easter fun times. Broken microphones, strings, drumsets and a broken van couldn't keep us from wrecking venues and peoples flats in Germany, Holland and Belgium. The Frietjes in Gent were equally good as rocking out again with our friends in Teamkiller, Solid Ground, Cataract, and Born From Pain. Meeting old friends and new people, seeing Rise & Fall, Clobberin Time ("Danke, wir waren Mötley Crüe!") and many other great bands perform and having Philipp a.k.a. "Junior" with us as our Merchandiser was great fun, too. As of now we're keeping our fingers crossed that the dudes at I.C. Recordings get our LP done until our release party on the 5th of May. See you there or elsewhere on the road.
"Back in the van, our for the next show, traffic jams and cops - we don't care at all, more stories to tell - our mums will be shocked, nothing can stop us - we're always on top!" (FP - always on top)

The swiss brutality moshers of DARK DAY DUNGEON have launched their new website. go and check it out! Hell Yeah!

We´re excited for the things to come, and grateful for having one of THE labels in the world as our partners in crime. Thanks for believing in us and thanks to all the people who brought us where we are today. BIG shout-outs to our wives and girlfriends, to our families, to our friends, to our former labels, and finally to all the people out there who like to crash the dancefloors (or their living rooms) while listening to FEAR MY THOUGHTS! Without you...you know the deal!"

Recordings will put out the vinyl version of Final Prayer's soon to be released first album, entitled "right here, right now", this spring. Since we all love vinyl and have been knowing the guys from I.C. Recordings for years, we are totally psyched about this. CD and vinyl should be available at our record release party on the 5th of may at the Tommy-Haus in Berlin (other bands appearing on the bill are Teamkiller, Deadsoil, and The Working Dead). The official release-date will be announced soon. Stay tuned...

Listen: SCARS OF TOMORROW's European Tour will start by the end of this week. They will share the stage together with HAND TO HAND (Lifeforce Records) which should be an intersting package. Go there and mosh.

"We finished the bass- and guitar-tracks by now and the overall sound turned out to be just great. We're all psyched about the recording - it was/ is big fun and Kai Stahlenberg and the whole Kohlekeller Studios crew is a great bunch of people to work with. Last sunday Micha Teamkiller and Jogges from Sidekick came round and did some guest-vocals on two of the songs - turned out amazing as well. We're now working on the vocals and hope to have the whole thing mixed and mastered by the end of next week as well, so Chris Let it burn can send the shit to the pressing plant."

We are stoked to announce that Germany's most dedicated underground band is back with a new release on LET IT BURN RECORDS. The new masterpiece's name is "Days of Dying Monuments" and includes 7 brand new tracks along with their 5 songs form the sold out “Ten Angry Men” split release with A Traitor Like Judas. Guestvocals by Joh Destiny. All tracks recorded, mixed and mastered at Kohlekeller Studios (Crematory, A Traitor Like Judas, Six Reasons to Kill, Final Prayer, etc.).
Alright now check out their brand new song "The Great Depression", and start loving the band as much as we do here at LET IT BURN RECORDS.

Final Prayer made it safe to Kohlekeller Studios in Darmstadt, although temperatures in Germoney dropped to about minus 15 degrees Celcius lately. The drums are already recorded and everything runs smooth so far. We're working on a vinyl licensing deal with a couple of labels and will announce more details about the vinyl version of "right here, right now" very soon. Other than that, the band has booked a couple of release shows in april and may and will most likely do a full UK tour at the end of may. Go check out the shows-section and get off your lazy ass to see FP live. That's it for now folks, mosh or be moshed.

your favourite Canadian Rockers of KERSEY have launched a new Song! Regard this as an appetizer for their upcoming full length CD out in late summer 2006 on LET IT BURN RECORDS. Check it out (media player & mp3 section) and bow down in awe.

check out PENGUINS COLLAPSE BOOKING. This is a new booking agency with an amazing rooster so far: CRISIS NEVER ENDS, MORE THAN EVER, FOR HEAVENS SAKE, COME CLOSER, SEMANA SANTA and DAYLIGHT SEVEN TIMES amongs others.

" Wondering what the new album will sound like? (cliche time): expect the unexpected. It's going to be more metal, more punk, more hardcore, more rock, more melodic, less melodic, and more interesting than anything we've ever done (and perhaps anything that the UK scene has ever done). Too many HC albums present 12 identical songs. Those records get boring. And just in case you're starting to get concerned, no it's not gonna be a metalcore album with lame clean vocals. It's gonna be a hardcore record through and through, taking influence from all the truly important bands." (Awoken)

A quick note to inform you that SIRENS debut MCD "Calling" has hit the road NOW! you can order your copy directly through our online store or get a hold of it at your local music dealer. It's all packed in a nice and stylish digipack, so check it out!

We very proud to welcome FINAL PRAYER from Berlin into our family. Already being a highly respected and well established engine within the hardcore scene, FINAL PRAYER are about to move one step further on the ladder. After a demo on Our World Records, a split CD with CRISIS NEVER ENDS and a full European tour with TEAMKILLER, the band’s next step is now to release their debut full length CD entitled “Righ Here Right Now” on LET IT BURN in Spring 2006. Expect heavy, traditional Hardcore with pissed off, socio-critical lyrics somewhere between Madball, Ten Yard Fight and Terror. The release of “Right Here Right Now” will be followed by exensive touring all across Europe in order to support it.

nuff said.

We are happy to anounce the following new entrant to the LET IT BURN family: SIRENS from Germany!

SIRENS' debut EP entitled "calling" will be a split release between Poisonfree Records and Let it Burn Records, two labels that found their interest in this astonishing new band at the same time, and then doing it the fair, punk rock way - teamwork cooperation. Sirens includes (ex-)members of BLEED INTO ONE, NO LESSON LEARNED, NYARI, 7TH SEAL BROKEN, TEAMKILLER, so the term "allstar-band" is really well placed here.

Recorded at You are Gay studios (run by Jörg, the drummer of MOVIES OF THE FUTURE), their sound includes some blistering mixture of classic hardcore with a modern edge, ranging from youthful, spiritfilled anthems to melodic and mature passages, taking the essence of 80ies and 90ies hardcore plus a dose of the present. Out comes a unique mixture from dedicated scenesters who know what they do and who will convince you that traditional hardcore can still be vital and attractive, even in 2005.

The SIRENS debut EP will be released on January 1, 2006 in a beautiful digipack.

SIRENS will be on tour presenting introducing their EP to the kids. Some weeks before the official release, you will be able to buy their record at their shows already, so check them out.

"Everybody - as you might have heard - we are looking for a new bass player to complete our team. There were several ups and downs with Piotr and yesterday he decided to quit the band. As we wrote here some time ago, he was sick and wasn't able to practice for a while. After all this, he didn't seem to regain health and now wants to have more time for himself. He will be still with us for the next few shows though. And hopefully until we have found a new teamplayer.
Now, all of you bass players: Contact us at theband @ darkdaydungeon.com and let us know something about you. Everybody is welcome and there is no reason not to write if you're looking for a band. You will be invited to our studio and we show you all you need to know about Dark Day Dungeon's past, present and near future."

"Hey everyone! Our webspace owner informed us, that they are currently moving servers, therefore the bridgetosolace.com site and email accounts are currently out of service for about a week. Till then, please email us at zoltan.jakab@bprnr.com or visit our myspace site http://www.myspace.com/bridgetosolace. The BTS website will be under heavy construction in the coming weeks, as we are currently working out a php based program with a new design. Rock, BTS"

we have updated our myspace profile. if you're hanging out there a lot feel free to add us at http://www.myspace.com/letitburnrecords

holy fuckin mama... be prepared for one of the best records ever released through LET IT BURN RECORDS.

Just a quick note to all the bands that have sent in their demos over the last few weeks. In case you didn't receive an answer yet, please be a a little patient. We're getting loads of stuff and it takes quite some time to listen to all the music. We will definitely let you know what we think. Thanks!

The PREMONITIONS OF WAR / BENÜMB split CD is out now! you can order it from our online store or your favourite record dealer. If he doesnt carry this masterpiece of metal/grind brutality tell him to get in touch with us.

FEAR MY THOUGHTS (Lifeforce Records) have released 2 albums on LET IT BURN RECORDS in the past. Since both CD's ("Vitriol" and "23") are sold out again, we decided have them repressed on one CD. The release will have a completely revised artwork and comes along with all lyrics and some liner notes. A release date will be announced soon.

Line-up Changes Awoken has suffered the loss of some much-loved members over the past 6 months. As some of you might remember, we went on our first European tour in March with a replacement vocalist, our good friend Sheep. Our absence since that tour has been due to time spent finding a permanent replacement. We are pleased to announce that our new vocalist is none other than Scott White (some of you might remember him as the ex-guitarist of our good friends The Break In). Prepare yourself for some of the best hardcore vocals you’re likely to hear. Sorry to everyone who contacted us offering to audition. We appreciate the support you showed us. Secondly, we are extremely sorry to announce the departure of another of our original members, guitarist Tom. As with Kris, it is nothing personal and has not effected our friendship in any way. Tom has been having a difficult time lately and does not feel he is able to give Awoken his full commitment any longer. He is playing his farewell show with Awoken at Destruction Fest on Friday 22nd July at The Underworld. Please come and show your support as he has been an integral part of everything we have done since day one. He will be sorely missed. Awoken will continue as a 4-piece, stronger than ever, with renewed determination. We are now: Adam – Bass / Dan – Guitar / Duncan – Drums / Scott - Vocals

European Tour with HOODS Unfortunately for Europe, Donnybrook have had to pull out as support for the upcoming Hoods European tour. Fortunately for us, we have been asked to step in as their replacement. At the end of August we embark on a 5-week full 2nd European tour. We are highly privileged, being big Hoods fans ourselves. Dates include Ieper Fest and Dead Fest. Check our shows section for full up to date details of the tour.

BTS have swichted guitar players. Read the band's official statement: "Our long time buddy and partner in crime Krisztian Alberti decided to part ways with Bridge To Solace to focus on his family in the future. We wish him well and thank him for the past 5 years and all the fun and good times we shared. His replacement is already found, Balint Szollar, who's not only an amazing guitarplayer but an all around good dude. The new lineup already played it's first show on a Hungarian Festival. Bridge To Solace is on a summer break, therefore going to play only 3 shows during the summer, including Europe's biggest summer festival, the week-long Sziget Festival in Budapest. The band is currently scheduling dates for the fall, as well as a new website is under construction."

We're on vacation from Friday June, 17th till Sunday June 26th. During that time no emails will be answered, please be patient. thanks.
