Suppressive Fire will once again be entering the studio August 12th to record our follow up to 'Bedlam.'  We are very happy to welcome Josh Bleeks to the fold as our new drummer and Will Saenz as our new bassist, Aaron Schmidt will now be handling 2nd lead guitar.  This new lineup is really the Mark II version of our band in that we've evolved so much musically since the Bedlam sessions. The new material is faster and more aggressive in parts, but also more varied and thought out while maintaining our riff oriented approach to songwriting. It'll be a hot minute before we can release any of the new songs as we plan to take our time over the next 2 months rounding it out. Planning on an early 2017 release to be honest. However, you can totally catch us shredding the new material live at upcoming shows. We're a new band, so we've gotta play the new material right? Come break your necks as we shred with our Raleigh brothers in Chateau. We'll be doing a back to back attack of Charlotte and Raleigh with them this September. The weekend following we'll finally be returning to Wilmington once again for the annual Death Fest.

So our 4-date album release tour was an absolute success! Thanks everyone who made it out and raged like there's no tomorrow.  We've got some exciting news as we'll be doing an upcoming tour in the Deep South followed by a date with Warbringer and Exmortus and in April, Absu!

We hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday, doing whatever it is you do! Just over 2 weeks until 'Bedlam' drops and we reignite the war engine and get back to playing shows. However, before then, the title track of the album is now streaming over at Decibel Magazine! What a freaken honor.  Go check it out.

We're still taking pre-orders over at https://suppressivefire.bandcamp.com.  And there's been some pretty rad feedback from the album so far featured below. All pre-orders help us fund new merch and ordering more expensive CDs, we'll also be shipping them with these rad glow-in-the-dark picks!

'Bedlam' releases in just over a month but some cool words have been coming in from reviewers and we also have another track 'Ironsights' streaming over at Friedhof Magazine.  The page is in Espanol, but Google translator works well enough. Besides, just scroll down for the music!

We finally have the final master of the album and it'll be out in January!  It's also on our Bandcamp if you want to grab it early.  That's the music tab to the left.

Bedlam features 11 nasty tracks and clocks in around 44 minutes.
​
“Ceasefire”
“The Hellwraith”
“Coup d'état”
“Thy Flesh Consumed”
“Bayonet Penetration”
“Nazi Face Melter”
“Pyrophoric Blood”
“Ironsights”
“Crucify the Kings”
“Holy Masochism”
“Bedlam”

Had such a blast last week and it was great playing Kings finally! That's been literally a bucketlist check since we started. Fantastic venue, excellent sound, some circle pit action. Fuck yes, you guys rule.  Also really enjoyed playing with Genocide Pact, Skemata, and Lesser Life.  Last Thurs we mozied to The Cave to meet our friends in Sonic Pulse and American Empire.  Had a minor catastrophe of Sonic Pulse's van breaking down 2 miles from the venue but grabbed them up, the van got towed and fixed and we had an excellent show.  

Well, our tracks now are in the capable hands of Joel Grind. Let's see what he can do with them!  Release show will be in October (date to be announced soon).

Two shows immediately coming up- Hopscotch Music Festival, we'll be playing Thursday 9/10 at the Pour House during the day show with the Primitive Ways gang and 9/14 we'll be playing Local 506 in Raleigh with Gorbash, Lord Dying and TOXIC HOLOCAUST!
