Been a while. Let’s take a look at what’s good in the inbox!
The Mars Volta is sort of reuniting, former members Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala joining forces with the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea for a new supergroup named Antemasque. Stream the first song, 4AM. Pretty cool.
Not April Fools: Floridian quartet Copeland announced their return on April 1st, of all days. The band is reuniting with a new record, ‘Ixora’, due out 10/31. Preorders are available on the band’s new website, as well as the introductory video for ‘Ixora’. It’s real, people. It’s April 2nd. It’s real.
After last month’s reunion shows, it looks like Mukilteo mathcore trailblazers are officially back on the saddle. The band has announced a show at Showbox Market 2/22, and will continue writing, recording, and releasing music on their own, for free, for their fans. According to his Twitter page, frontman Thomas Erak’s involvement in the reformed Chiodos lineup will not be affected by The Fall Of Troy’s reunion. General admission tickets will be available 1/24, but VIP tickets will be up at noon tomorrow, all available on The Fall Of Troy website. Welcome the iconic band back to active duty on Facebook, and read the band’s official statement below!
After playing the first of three reunion shows last night in Austin, TX, The Fall Of Troy has claimed that they will continue playing shows, and possibly release new music. This would be the first new music that the Mukilteo, WA trio has released since their 2009 record ‘In The Unlikely Event’. It’s unclear how a reunion will affect frontman Thomas Erak’s involvement in Chiodos as current lead guitarist, but Erak has stated in the past that at least The Fall Of Troy reunion shows are not a resignation from Chiodos. Keep an eye out for more details, we’ll keep TFOT covered. For now, watch a video of the trio practicing together for the first time since the breakup in 2010 on Facebook, and read the brief statement made by the band after last night’s show after the jump.
