DWI73 Trap Them / Extreme Noise Terror "Split" Format: 7"EP, Digital Trap Them are the brutal metal/hardcore machine formed by Ryan McKenney (ex-Backstabbers Inc.) and Brian Izzi (ex-December Wolves). In 2006, they released three stunning records including the heralded "Seance Prime" CDEP/7"EP on Deathwish. England's Extreme Noise Terror (ENT) are one of the most important and influential bands in the extreme music community. Formed in 1985, ENT along with bands Napalm Death, Siege and others, pioneered the blast/grind approach and laid the foundation for contemporary metal/punk/hardcore as we know it. Through the years, ENT have gone through a multitude of lineup changes as they have evolved (including Doom, Napalm Death and Cradle Of Filth members), releasing killer albums on Earache, Candlelight, and Osmose Productions. To coincide with their 2008 West Coast tour, Extreme Noise Terror and Trap Them teamed up to release a split 7"EP on Deathwish. Limited to 1000 copies, this release features a new song from each band, and was only available from the bands on tour as well as in the DW Estore. Pressing Information: 300 Clear 700 White/Black Mix

MAL32 Meltdown "Self Titled" Format: 7"EP, Digital Meltdown's newest effort, a three song 7"EP aptly titled "Meltdown", is the bands finest hour to date. Affirming their place among the upper echelon of hardcore's best new bands. Recorded by Jay Maas @ The Getaway Group (Shipwreck a.d.), "Meltdown" showcases their continuously evolving precision/power. Their trademark machine gun guitar riffs, unrelenting double bass, and bone shaking breakdowns are more infectious than they've ever been. While their poignant lyrics and vocal rage continue to ring louder and clearer than ever. Sonic qualities that are all complimented by stark cover artwork by Aaron Horkey (The Hope Conspiracy, Isis, etc). And this is just the beginning, as Meltdown are currently writing a new album, to be released later in 2008.

DWI70 Blacklisted "Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God" Format: CD, LP, Digital Whether it's with their infectious hardcore urgency, or uniquely powerful lyrics, the true grit of Blacklisted will move you. They carry a soul and energy unlike any other hardcore band. Picking up the torch that contemporary legends AN/GUTG once proudly carried. Merging a violence, honesty, and emotional outpouring into one untamable and inspiring hardcore animal. Recorded and engineered by Kurt Ballou (Converge) @ Godcity, "Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God" is Blacklisted's most dynamic release to date. This latest effort carries a psychological darkness merely hinted at in their previous "Peace On Earth..." release, diving head first into the jaws of their introspective abyss. This bold leap has sharpened their teeth and reaped great creative rewards. Songs like "Stations" and "Touch Test" erupt with shocking state of emotional electricity, while the abrasive melancholy of "Circuit Breaker" and "Wish" possess the ability to haunt listeners for a lifetime. All these qualities showcase Blacklisted's continuing evolution as a band, and also distance them far from the rest of the hardcore pack. Cementing their reputation as one of the only true lone-wolves of their hardcore generation.

Bannon (Converge, Supermachiner, etc). "The Blood..." is a minimalist six minute emotional dirge unlike any of his previous musical/artistic efforts. Haunting in it's simplicity, this release foreshadows his anticipated "Wear Your Wounds" album, due out on Deathwish later in 2008. Meant to be a stand alone piece, "The Blood..." is exclusively available as a one sided 7"EP (w/ a beautifully etched B-side) and will not be included on any other J. Bannon release. Pressing Information: 200 Black 600 Bone 600 Metallic Gold 600 Metallic Silver
