Weathered is Facedown Records newest addition and is unarguably the most anticipated release in some time in the scene. While Facedown prides itself on an always esteemed roster of metal bands, the signing of Weathered might be a head scratcher, if the album wasn’t so good. Starting the Minnesota 4-piece’s first LP, “Burn” prepares the listener for what the album has to offer.

Now they’ve taken a break from their hiatus to write a song for the upcoming movie Unbroken: Path to Redemption. If that title looks a little familiar it’s because it’s a sequel to the 2014 movie Unbroken about US Olympian and army officer Louie Zamperini.… Continued →
