American rock band Stavesacre has checked in with the following announcement
“We’ve been dropping hints for weeks, and showing videos of our younger, skinnier selves. So here it is: We’ve been writing a brand new Stavesacre record! The songs are in the demo phase and we couldn’t be happier. Now it’s time to record them and get them to your ears. Some more tiers will be announced in the coming weeks, additional options that everyone has been asking for… Also, there might be something special in it for the fan that does the most to help us spread the word! Can’t wait to share the new music with all of you!”
Check out the video below.
Stavesacre was formed in 1995 as a post-hardcore band following the breakup of The Crucified. Vocalist Mark Salomon and guitarist Jeff Bellew played in The Crucified and, following its disbandment, the two still had a desire to write music. Salomon and Bellew recruited bassist Dirk Lemmenes and drummer Jeremy Moffett. They knew Lemmenes from his former band, Focused, which The Crucified toured with. Salomon and Moffett had been roommates for a while, and Moffett played in the band The Blamed.
They became known at first for their Heavy and leaning towards hardcore metal and thrash sound, in the spirit of Die Happy or Tourniquet. The sound of the band slowly metamorphosed from heavy metal to what some say is an emo style of rock, described by others as “Forceful Angular Rock”, over the years from 1996- 2004. Their music has become just “straight up passion, truth, and rock, with an edge.”
Stavesacre‘s last release was “Against the Silence” EP (CD/DVD) in 2009.
2014/2015 saw a resurgence in activity online, with a variety of pictures posted on members Facebook pages as well as the band’s, showing the band apparently writing new music.
The current line-up is: vocalist Mark Salomon, guitarists Jeff Bellew and Ryan Dennee, bassist Dirk Lemmenes and drummer Sam West.
