Bay Area hardcore/metal label Glacier Recordings presents a pummeling split EP between Oregon’s FØES and California’s HEATED, titled War On Everything. Two of the tracks from the split have been issued as the bands prepare to assault California and Nevada on a four-city tour together this week.
Created during the gut-punch of the past two years of the pandemic, FØES teamed up with their road companions HEATED to assemble the succinct but impactful War On Everything split 7”. With two songs from each band, War On Everything is complete and total war against the environments each act was and still are subjected to as well as an all-out assault against themselves in the physical and mental stress ridden times we find ourselves, here in America in 2022.
Side A of War On Everything brings forth FØES’ tracks “Ghost Town” and “Dog Catcher,” which were recorded and produced by Garrett Judkins and Sonny Daniels at their own Doomroom Studios and mixed by Derek Leisey. Side B delivers the HEATED songs “Immune Leap” and “Doom Feed,” with the drums self-recorded by Zack Baker at his home studio, guitars and bass recorded by Roman Gonzalez at his home studio, and the vocals recorded by Mike Sahm at Dream Awake Audio where the songs were mixed with additional production by Allen Freeberg. The track “Immune Leap” features a guest vocal appearance by Micah Berry of FØES. All tracks were mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Integrity, Nails, Xibalba) and the record is completed with album art and design by Taylor Bates.
FØES’ “Dog Catcher” and HEATED’s “Immune Leap” are now streaming at Bandcamp where digital preorders for War On Everything are available HERE.
War On Everything will see release through all digital services on May 27th, followed by the vinyl later this Summer. Watch for updates on the vinyl to be posted over the weeks ahead.
