Deathwish sign Cold World
We are proud to welcome COLD WORLD to the Deathwish affiliated family.
Wilkes Barre PA's COLD WORLD garnered world wide praise with their now classic "Iced Grillz" release on Lockin' Out in 2005. COLD WORLD have toured both in the U.S. and Europe, bringing their brand of urban influenced metallic hardcore (think early Life Of Agony and Madball with an early Hip Hop/soul addiction) to everyone within earshot. In the last year, COLD WORLD have evolved and progressed into an unstoppable and unique force, refining their brooding eclectic sound into a new kind of infectious monster.
COLD WORLD will be entering the studio in early 2K7 to record their new full length for Deathwish. More news on when and where soon. Can't take the wait? We don't blame you. You can hear a new COLD WORLD demo song and mix from Nick COLD WORLD on the new Deathwish Podcast, which now available on ITunes.

A few quick thoughts on the Brand New record
Picked it up today ...
First of all, the packaging is not all it can be, super thin paper gatefold, I hate these things, you're on a major label, do a jewel case, or a digipack. If you're trying to save plastic, well done, but anoying anyways.
No lyrics. You have to send $1 to a P.O. Box in New York for a copy of the lyrics. I'm assuming there is a good reason for this, but I haven't seen one. Anoying. Maybe they want you to download the record?
The band constantly downplays the record, saying it's a collection of recordings, it will always be incomplete (because of the demo leaks), etc ... if you don't have confidence in the music, don't release it.
The record itself is great, it's just this kind of stuff that will prevent the band from getting the exposure they deserve. Kind of a bummer.

The company has taken on only a few select additional clients consisting of Person L (the new brain child of Starting Line front man Ken Vasoli), Verdure Studio (an arts collective out of Tampa), The Glass Ocean (an Atlanta based indie regime), and Safety (a Tampa based punk/rock band). "With our main focus on audio and film, and only so many hours in a day, we've really had to be selective with who we take on. We'd rather have a smaller roster and be able to go above and beyond what they would expect, rather than have dozens of artists and let things start suffering due to committing too much to too many people. I think it's an easy trap to get caught in so we're always aware of what our end mission is." remarks Gardner in casual conversation about the companies intentions. Although the three members of ADG seem to downplay their recent additions and centralized success as "a small business made of artists working for other artists", this "small" player in the game is committed to pack as big of a punch as it can handle giving. The company recently upgraded their already capable online system with a digital download feature which enables them to sell everything from films to records completely digitally and completely free of any distribution companies hold ups and stipulations. "With our new system we are essentially a one stop shop for online distribution for artists of film and audio. There's no middle man, or corporate giant muddying the water. Anything that the artist wants within reason is possible. We have complete control!" McTague rants with excitement.
The company, alongside one of their newest artists Safety, have decided to give the bands newest release A Season of Bad Dreams away for free digitally via their online store on audiblediversiongroup. " We started this company to try and take back control of what we could within our respective genres and industries," says Gardner. "We have had a lot of support in the past few months from a lot of great people who believe in what we do and the bands we work for. We felt like this would be a great way of giving back to the people who constantly give to us, as well as really put our foot forward in support of the new digital movement." Safety recorded their 7 song EP with McTague at his home studio, and the effort was mixed by audio surgeon, Beau Burchell of Saosin. The band will be releasing a physical copy of the record in the coming months, but for now are content with spreading the gospel of Safety via the world wide web free of charge to anyone who has ears and a decent internet connection. Justin of Verdure Studio was at the drawing board for all of the art design to round out the release. " This was as close to the ADG vision as we've come so far," says Gardner. " All of the art, web design, audio recording and distribution has been all done in house and/or with our collective family." To download the Safety's "A Season of bad Dreams" entirely free, or for more information on Safety, Verdure Studio, or any of the ADG family, visit www.audiblediversiongroup.com.]]>" target="_blank">Members of UNDEROATH and THE ALMOST Form Audible Diversion Group; Release SAFETY EP For Free Download |

MIKOTO has built a fervent buzz since their inception in late 2004 with relentless touring alongside Horse The Band, Misery Signals, Saosin and Chiodos to name a few. In 2005, the band released a self-titled EP via Level Plane garnering positive critical acclaim from outlets such as Decibel ("...the band's sound, while employing popular elements like singing and screaming, defies categorization"), Alternative Press ("Not only are their hearts in the right place, but so is their musical ability... refreshing in a scene that's become watered down") and Punknews.org (4 out of 5, "Mikoto rips through these 5 songs with the ferocity of a rabid lion loose on an antelope farm"). The band didn't stray too far from their sound on the EP when it came time to write We Are The Architects. "It's an obvious extension of what the band was doing on our EP," said Harkins. "It is pretty similar, but with this record we have definitely utilized Matt's clean vocals a lot more. These songs still represent the same kind of 'sound' we've had, just a bit more well structured," added Diaz.
The five-piece recorded We Are The Architects in just 25 days with producer & Saosin guitarist, Beau Burchell (The Bronx, Name Taken, The Bled) amidst his busy touring schedule. "We would send him demo recordings online and he would listen to them on tour and give us his feedback," Harkins described the process. "Beau was instrumental in the process of getting this record together. The record would have sounded drastically different if we recorded with anyone else." In agreement, Diaz expressed, "Beau helped us look at each song as a whole and not the parts individually."
More than just an album title, Harkins elaborated, "WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS was inspired by the idea that we as individuals build, create and attempt to mold our lives into better versions of what they used to be. We wanted to visually capture the idea of each person being an 'architect' and creating their own future and destiny." Through their lyrics, the band addresses the current music scene and how it has affected them. "There are those who really are passionate about what this music scene is about and should not let the bad things outweigh the positive aspects."
Even with MIKOTO’s many options for releasing WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS, Harkins explained, "Torque was really supportive and above all enthusiastic about our band and releasing the record. They really just want to spread our name in a very organic manner." Sharing the love, Torque Records owner, Kevin Gales, stated, “Mikoto is a world-class band who has created an unforgettable record. The guys had a bunch of options open to them and we’re far beyond fortunate for this opportunity.
