DEBUT LIGHT THIS CITY ALBUM TO BE REISSUED IN AUGUST
'The Hero Cycle' to feature revised artwork, liner notes
The meteoric six-year career arc of Northern California's LIGHT THIS
CITY saw the group issue four acclaimed releases and develop a
dedicated fan base through extensive touring with the likes of All That
Remains, Death Angel, Darkest Hour, The Faceless and Vader, among
others. Although the band disbanded in 2008 shortly before the release
of what would ultimately serve as their swansong, Stormchaser, their
timeless sound a fusion of Swedish melodic death and Bay Area
thrash continues to inspire.
For that reason, Prosthetic is proud to announce the August 18 reissue
of the group's first album, The Hero Cycle. Recorded in 2003 while the
band's members were still in high school, the album aptly foreshadows
the developments of qualities that would soon make the group a major
player in modern metal: riffs that deftly mixed aggression and melody,
the fiery vocals of spitfire front woman Laura Nichol, and a wholly
energetic approach that attempted to forge new ground for the genre
while still demonstrating reverence for its classics. Pre-orders are
now available at store.prostheticrecords.com.
Produced by Zack Ohren (All Shall Perish, Decrepit Birth, Endwell), The
Hero Cycle, according to liner notes written by the band that accompany
the reissue, ?reveals the innocence of a young band trying to grow
and mature at a rapid pace. Many afternoons after class throughout high
school and weekends in between were spent in a basement hammering out
what would become this album, and those remain some of the most fun and
memorable days LIGHT THIS CITY has ever seen.
In addition to the liner notes, the reissue includes redesigned cover
art that can be viewed at www.myspace.com/lightthiscity, where the
album's leadoff track, "Apostate" can currently be streamed.
