I Am Heresy – s/t

Releasedate: 22-02-2013; Label: End Hits Records / Cargo Records

I Am Heresy‘s formation certainly qualifies under the auspices of the former, but with a twist that will knock you back on your ass faster than you can shout “Shyamalan!” For it’s not the typical story of “our old bands used to tour together and we always wanted to play in a band someday…” Not even close. With I Am Heresy, we’re literally talking about a father and son deciding to join forces in order to properly layeth the proverbial smacketh down. Nathan Gray (also of Boy Sets Fire) was ending a stint fronting The Casting Out whilst son Simon Gray and Jonah Latshaw (son of Boy Sets Fire guitarist Joshua Latshaw) continued playing guitar and singing respectively for May 4th Massacre. After “walking in on” his son, ideas were hatched, demos were pieced together and, eventually, a full band was formed with the addition of brothers Jay and Crumbs Konieko (The Dead And Gone) brought in as the rhythm section and Gregg Kautz (Chambers) summoned to complete an unholy trinity of guitar madness.

After this beautiful description of the band about themselves, let me tell you about their new album “S/T” which comes with nine tracks. Nine songs is not a whole lot and they are not endless either. But they definitely can kick ass. Fast music, shouted vocals and thriving melodies cause your heart to beat faster. This album will kick you through. With a shouter and a vocalist this band takes it away. Energetic music at its best. So get the new I Am Heresy album, press play and go insane.
