SORTOUT – release their latest Metalcore single/video for “Monuments” #sortout

 

With “Conquer From Within” SORTOUT hit right in the heart of the Metalcore universe

True to the band’s motto, ‘ARISE. SORT OUT. OVERCOME. ‘ the Austrians SORTOUT combine guitar riffs and shouts to a diversified and hard-hitting metalcore sound. The five musicians create special sound moments, which resound even live for a long time. The band’s influences are audibly multifaceted and range from inventive Melodic Death Metal to Hardcore intensity up to powerful Groove Metal effects. SORTOUT already shared the stage with bands such as Bullet For My Valentine, Amon Amarth, Trivium, Machine Head or Caliban, which shows that their quality is not only perceived in the domestic scene. Numerous festivals and shows in Eastern and Central Europe also attest the active band life. Therefore, not only fans of the already mentioned bands should mark the 21st of February 2020. The uncompromising new album “Conquer From Within” with its twelve songs, skilfully produced by Daniel Thabet in New York’s Liquid Studios and perfectly mastered by Grammy Award winner Alan Douches (Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Mastodon, Baroness), wants to be released worldwide by Dr. Music Records and will provide many circle pits and a sweaty atmosphere in the clubs.

SORTOUT enrich the Metalcore scene since 2008 and released their EP “Shadow Slave” five years later as well as their debut album “Burden Of Memories” along with the single and music video for “An Ember Awakes” in 2016. Many intensive shows have increased their fan base as well as their experience. The release of the debut was followed by a big European tour where SORTOUT played from the village pub to gigs with the already mentioned international Metal greats. The band was founded in Vorarlberg in Austria and today, after several line-up changes, it consists of vocalist and founding member Benjamin Herter, both guitarists Michael Geuze and Aaron Schedler as well as bassist Günter Meusburger and drummer André Hammerer. With their brand new album “Conquer From Within” the musicians prove how versatile Metalcore can be. The artistic artwork was designed by Pavel Kurbanov (Jinjer, King Atlas, Bells & Ravens) and ensures that the record is visually convincing. “Undertow” opens the album hard and direct with relentless shouts and sophisticated fast guitar parts. It continues with “Relentless”, a song which musically tells no less energetic and powerful the story of inner pain. “Sever The Serpent’s Tongue” deals with hypocrites who hide behind a credible mask of deception and give a false impression. “Monuments” combines epic Metalcore with staccato riffing and the targeted use of sensitive melodic vocals as a sharp contrast to the shouts. It is about dissatisfaction with the increasingly indifferent and insensitive consumer society. “Midas’ Gift” takes the same line and warns against confusing wishes with desire.

The first single “Illusions”, which will be released on January 24th, 2020, as well as the music video, give an extremely apt glimpse of the high musical and lyrical level offered by “Conquer From Within”. SORTOUT are amplifying their sound on their second album and have produced an exciting and vehemently powerful Metalcore album, which will not only captivate the fans of the scene when it will be released with full force in February!

With “Conquer From Within” SORTOUT meet right in the heart of the Metalcore universe

True to the band motto ‘ARISE. SORT OUT. OVERCOME. ‘ the Austrian SORTOUT combine guitar riffs and shouts to a varied and violent metalcore sound. The five musicians create special sound moments that reverberate live for a long time. The influences of the band are audibly diverse and range from imaginative melodic death metal to hardcore intensity to powerful groove metal effects. SORTOUT have already shared the stage boards with bands such as Bullet For My Valentine, Amon Amarth, Trivium, Machine Head or Caliban, which shows that their class is not only perceived in the domestic scene. Numerous festivals and shows in Eastern and Central Europe also attest to the active band life. The 21.02.2020 should not only make a note of fans of the bands already mentioned. The perfectly mastered, uncompromising new album “Conquer From Within” with its twelve songs, which was skillfully produced by Daniel Thabet in New York’s Liquid Studios and won by Grammy Award winner Alan Douches (Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Mastodon, Baroness), is released worldwide about Dr. Music Records and will ensure a number of circle pits and lots of sweat beads in the clubs.

SORTOUT have been enriching the metalcore scene since 2008 and released their EP “Shadow Slave” five years later and in 2016 the debut album “Burden Of Memories” including the single and the music video for “An Ember Awakes”. Many intensive concerts made both their fan base and experience grow. Following the release of the debut, there followed a major European tour at which SORTOUT played from the village pub to gigs with the international metal greats already mentioned. Founded in Vorarlberg, Austria, the band now consists of singer and founding member Benjamin Herter, the two guitarists Michael Geuze and Aaron Schedler, woofer Günter Meusburger and drummer André Hammerer. With their brand new album “Conquer From Within” the musicians prove how versatile Metalcore can be. The artistic artwork was contributed by designer Pavel Kurbanov (Jinjer, King Atlas, Bells & Ravens) and ensures that the plate is also visually convincing. “Undertow” opens the album hard and direct with ruthless shouts and demanding fast guitar runs. It continues with “Relentless”, a song which musically tells the story of inner pain less energetically and powerfully. “Sever The Serpent’s Tongue” deals with hypocrites who hide behind a credible mask of deception and give the wrong impression. “Monuments” combines epic metalcore with staccato riffing and targeted use of sensitive melodic vocals as a sharp contrast to the shouts. The content is about dissatisfaction with the increasingly indifferent and insensitive consumer society. “Midas’ Gift” hits a similar notch and warns not to confuse wishes with desires. “A Journey From Within” closes the album with atonal riffs and brings a remarkable end to a remarkable long player who more than deserves more attention!

The first single “Illusions”, which will be released on January 24th, 2020, as well as the music video give an extremely good foretaste of the high musical and textual level that “Conquer From Within” offers. SORTOUT amplify their sound on their second album and have produced an exciting and vehemently powerful Metalcore album that will not only cast a spell over the fans of the scene when it comes out with full force in February!
