As The Sun Sets formed in Providence, Rhode Island in 1998 and quickly became a household name throughout New England as they developed their brand of brutal and chaotic music. Well known for their live performances, As The Sun Sets were a spectacle, and often dangerous, act to witness live, which would ultimately be what they were most remembered for. They delivered blistering and abrasive metallic hardcore that incorporated elements of noise, grindcore, metal, and math rock.
Although short lived, As The Sun Sets recorded three records from 1999-2002 before breaking up. The records were known not only for their short, technical, and heavy songs, but also their interludes which included piano tracks, atmospheric drone, and experimental noise, all of which stitched the album into a unique and diverse listening experience that broke up the harshness of their music. The band toured throughout the East Coast and Midwest and shared the stage with many notable acts such as: Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, American Nightmare, Pig Destroyer, and Hatebreed. Though their career as a band was brief, their music would eventually become highly influential in the heavy music scene.
All tracks were remixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge, God City) and remastered by producer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Amenra). Now with all new artwork, As The Sun Sets’ complete recorded works will be available for the first time on vinyl.
“They're as intense as any record in this genre you'll ever hear. Everything about this album is intense, in fact. The guitars absolutely rip, the drums pound relentlessly, and the vocals are absolutely ear-shredding.” - KERRANG!
