Contributed by inagreendase. Posted by Justin on Sunday, May 6, 2007 at 11:00 AM (EDT)

Chicago's Holy Roman Empire have posted the first track from their upcoming, debut LP. You can hear "An Alliance of Thieves" at the band's MySpace page. The Longue Durée is due out June 05, 2007 via Hewhocorrupts, Inc. It's the followup to 2005's Lost in Landscapes.

The album was recorded at Atlas Studios (Rise Against, the Lawrence Arms) with Matt Allison and Neil Hennessey. The band features veterans of hardcore bands and includes guitarist Jay Jancetic (ex-Arma Angelus, Stabbed By Words), bassist Geoff Reu (Killing Tree), drummer Tony Tintari (ex-Rise Against, Shai Hulud) as well as vocalist Emily Schambra (Long Distance Runner).

Punknews.org spoke to guitarist Neeraj Kane about the band last year.

The band will also be joining the upcoming Rise Against / Comeback Kid / Silverstein tour this summer.

Is it just me or does this actually almost sound like a female rise against.. Like the lyrics and her melodies.. sort of reminds me of Ready to Fall but slower. hmm..

Someone (May 6, 2007)

this band bores me to insanity.

diminishedzerodvs (May 15, 2007)

well maybe u just dont have a good taste in music. HRE is awesome and kicks ass

Someone (May 6, 2007)

the older song they have to me counds like third eye blind......which isn't really a compliment

Someone (May 6, 2007)

Female Rise Against?

You're kidding right?

Try Beta Minus Mechanic and Ashes for a better comparison, bud. Heck, even name-dropping Discount would've sounded better.

SawDonkey (May 6, 2007)

Just you....All I hear is Evanescence. I hated their set when they opened for the Arms.

icedmaple (July 2, 2007)

I take it you're deaf?

Grantino (May 6, 2007)

i saw this band with the lawrence arms, the brokedowns, and rule 22 in march. they were probably the worst band there and kind of boring.

Someone (May 6, 2007)

I was at that show when the singer started talking shit about comic books the crowd turned on them even more.

Someone (May 6, 2007)

Rule 22 over Holy Roman Empire.

Sheesh! Thats harsh man.

plaidical (May 6, 2007)

I saw them open for Spitalfield last month and was pretty impressed

diminishedzerodvs (May 15, 2007)

yo man if u didnt like HRE that gives u no reason to bag on them, they are talented but may just not be your style of music

burningfeeetman (May 6, 2007)

I really don't like this band, sounds like some generic shit I would hear on the radio.

diminishedzerodvs (May 15, 2007)

actually they dont sound like anyone else. they have there own unique style which rocks

icedmaple (July 2, 2007)

Quite.

And the bands on the radio are getting paid for it; the bands playing shitty back-end-of-nowhere clubs are not.

HRE are going to take their integrity with them - that you can be sure about.

diminishedzerodvs (May 15, 2007)
