Whatever Happened To Hope For The Dying?

Man, we sure miss Hope For The Dying here at The Implosion.  We play a lot of cuts off of their albums Dissimulation and Aletheia, and we milked their 2016 project (called Legacy) of singles for 5 years, hoping for another new album.  But that never came, and we have been wondering what has become of the band, so we reached out to Shannon Quiggle over at Facedown Records and he says:

Josh Ditto and James Houseman started a successful tech company, Jack Daniels just built a brand new recording studio (he’s been engineering records for years now), and I’m not sure what Brendan is doing.

Fans have asked the question on their socials as to whether they are going to put out any new albums, only to be met with crickets on the pages we’ve looked at.  Let’s hope…that they do record more albums!

HolyName Signs With Facedown Records

We’ve been playing singles from HolyName, a band fronted by former Sleeping Giant vocalist Tommy Green on https://TheBlast.FM and on The Implosion for 7 weeks now, and today, Facedown Records announces they’ve signed the band to their record label.  Here’s what Facedown has to say about it:

 

HolyName founders Tommy Green (Sleeping Giant) and Joe Holt enlist the services of top musicians Brook Reeves (Impending Doom), Matthew Weir, Aaron Craner, and producer Ryan Leitru (For Today).

Long-time label member and friend Tommy Green: “HolyName is so excited to partner with Facedown Records. After working together on Sleeping Giant, the experience, relationship, and friendship personally just made this the best decision. We truly hope that our efforts and our sound will add to the history and tradition of this awesome independent label, and encourage new kids coming up and all you old hxc kids as well. We are looking forward to playing our part in continuing the legacy of Praise into this next season. PreachCore Lives! In honor of the HolyName.”

Grave Robber Brings The Horror Punk To The Kingdom Come Festival

Grave Robber lead singer Shawn Browning

Christian Horror Punk.  Yeah.  That’s a thing.  And it is done very well by the band Grave Robber.  The costumes are shocking.  Zombies!!!  Aaahh!!!  The music is shocking.  The message…in the lyrics and in the preaching from the frontman…is on-point, full of Biblical wisdom.   The man behind this mask is Shawn Browning.  Lead singer, pastor, realtor, and the head of Rottweiler Records, label home of Grave Robber, XIII Minutes, and several other bands we play on The Implosion.    We have a video clip from their concert on The Implosion’s Facebook page:
