ESCAPE THE FATE BEGIN WORK ON NEW ALBUM, ANNOUNCE TOUR DATES

Notorious Rock Band’s Third Album Expected Later This Year

SANTA MONICA, CA – July 26, 2010 – Escape the Fate is set to shock the world with an album whose unexpected music is being described as a twisted offspring, blending arena rock reminiscent of the 90′s with some new flavor, creating a fresh perspective and making a stamp on what the future for rock is. The group’s third full-length album, but first on a major label, will be released on DGC/Interscope Records in November. “This record is the cure for the modern day music epidemic,” says bassist Max Green. “We are wiping the slate clean and re-writing rock music as you know it.”

Produced by Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Bullet For My Valentine, Hollywood Undead), the album blends metal and melody, guitar solos and anthemic choruses into an epic sound only hinted at on the group’s previous album, 2008’s This War Is Ours. That album charted Top 35, as did the band’s indie debut, 2006’s Dying Is Your Latest Fashion. Infamous for its edgy stage performances and Sin City lifestyle, Escape The Fate will burn up the road prior to the album’s release. After heading to Mexico and South America in July, the band will tour with Bullet For My Valentine in the U.S. and Canada from September 16-October 27.

ESCAPE THE FATE as AFGHAN WHIGS
(AP 67, FEB 1994)
Cincinnati-based post-grunge outfit Afghan Whigs were photographed in gentlemen’s-poker-tourney mode by Brian Garrity over 16 years ago. Being from Las Vegas, Escape The Fate easily slipped into a similarly wager-making tribute, looking more like rockers instead of bored patriarchs at someone’s daughter’s wedding.
