From hours busking on the corners of frozen streets to gatecrashing some of North America\u2019s biggest venues, to writing and recording records of truly earth-shattering proportions, the trajectory of the quartet\u2019s career has astonished both fans and industry insiders alike.<\/p>\n<p>ART OF DYING have been able to create muscular, vivacious hard-rock bursting with lung-shattering choruses and a sincerity that is impossible to fake. Equally at home with a lead-fingered riff or a deft slow-burner, there is an ease of breadth in AOD\u2019s repertoire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was blown away when I first heard their independent record,\u201d enthuses DISTURBED guitarist Dan Donegan. \u201cI lived with it for quite a while and I was so impressed with the quality of the songwriting that I had a feeling there was something special going on. David (DISTURBED vocalist David Draiman) and I had been looking for someone to sign to our imprint for a while, but I wanted to make sure the guys could do it live &#8211; it\u2019s hard to find a band that are the complete package these days. So, we invited them out on a DISTURBED tour of America, we really threw them in the deep end!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The band introduced guitarist Tavis Stanley and bassist Cale Gontier to their ranks on the eve of the run with DISTURBED &#8211; the quartet playing onstage together for the very first time during the soundcheck of the opening show of the tour. But suddenly, everything clicked. \u201cThe moment I knew that we had it right was when our voices started harmonizing,\u201d says Hetherington, of the band\u2019s now-trademark three-way vocals for which David Draiman has dubbed them &#8220;Eagles in Chains&#8221; referencing a blend of 70s supergroup The Eagles and 90s grunge rockers Alice In Chains.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with two critically-acclaimed and widely-played major label releases under their belts, Art Of Dying are returning with Full Length Album \u201cArmageddon\u201d, their most imperious effort to date. \u201cIt\u2019s a dark record.\u201d Says Jonny. \u201cEven the cover art (featuring NYC artist Stefano Losi\u2019s painting of Pharaoh Thutmose III) is inspired by the album title. Thutmose lead the historic battle in Megiddo, (aka Armageddon) the first war in history where proper records were kept and a body count was taken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Themes like \u201cNo One Ever Wins\u201d, \u201cDark Days\u201d and \u201cUnoriginal\u201d take the listener down to visit the depths of the deep end. But no Art of Dying record would be complete without the inspirational balance of spine-tingling anthems like new single \u201cArmageddon\u201d, \u201cCut It All Away\u201d and \u201cShatterProof\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Of first single \u201cArmageddon\u201d\u00a0Jonny Hetherington says,\u00a0<em>\u201cLife sucks. Life is beautiful. Writing Armageddon got me through a tough time and helped shake a few of the demons off my back. If you feel like your world is caving in, like you\u2019re trapped in your own personal Armageddon, I hope you will find the strength to get out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If ARMAGEDDON is about one thing above all else it is a study on the power of human will and the uplifting capacity of one\u2019s own self belief. This is rip-snorting rock \u2019n\u2019 roll that will smash your self-doubt into a million pieces.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mail-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7956 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mail-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mail-1.png 512w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mail-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mail-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mail-1-65x65.png 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArmageddon\u201d is released\u00a0through Get A Grip on the 4th October\u00a02019.\u00a0The new album is available to preorder now, including a\u00a0limited\u00a0transparent red vinyl pressing:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/duffpress.us3.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=2e8abf58842c9dbf295c1e805&amp;id=b7fdbf6eab&amp;e=71d8d4f580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Here<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/duffpress.us3.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=2e8abf58842c9dbf295c1e805&amp;id=ed25147e04&amp;e=71d8d4f580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/duffpress.us3.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=2e8abf58842c9dbf295c1e805&amp;id=6d0eb689bb&amp;e=71d8d4f580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/duffpress.us3.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=2e8abf58842c9dbf295c1e805&amp;id=2ada4cf669&amp;e=71d8d4f580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vancouver\u2019s hard-rock icons ART OF DYING are set to release a new studio album, \u201cArmageddon\u201d, on\u00a0the 4th October\u00a02019.
