Death By Stereo Signs With Viking Funeral Records

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by katy on Friday, February 3, 2012 at 10:30 AM (EST)

Orange County, CA's Death By Stereo has signed with Viking Funeral Records for their sixth full-length, Black Sheep of the American Dream, which is due out this spring. The band's vocalist Efrem Schulz explains:

I am proud to be a part of Viking Funeral because Fletcher [Dragge of Pennywise], Ken Seaton [of Hardline Entertainment] and the whole Suburban Noize family have the same DIY, never back down mentality that we have. Viking Funeral is a perfect home for us, as we've seen how labels work and the majority of them are more interested in making a quick buck instead of developing an artist that puts out great records. Working with Viking Funeral brings us back to our early days in the hardcore and punk-rock scenes that birthed us, because they care about the music rather than what's trendy. This record is a return to our roots and with the addition of our original bass player Paul Miner as producer we have re-established our signature sound and we managed to forge a new sonic path for Death by Stereo.

Death By Stereo is currently out on a European tour with Agnostic Front and Naysayer which they'll follow with a few southwest US shows.

I just hope this album isn't as disjointed as their last. That thing was all over the damn place.

hubitcherkokov (February 3, 2012)

Agreed. I loved that each and every record got heavier and heavier, but it'll be cool if it's in the same vein as their first two records. Also, no "die" or "death" in the title?!

wentz_equals_death (February 3, 2012)

first three records

eatdogs (February 3, 2012)

"emo holocaust!!!"

i still jam if looks could kill, i'd watch you die. that stands are my favorite by these guys...

irbaboon (February 3, 2012)

I remember when I first started playing drums that album was HUGE for me. Jarrod Alexander is the shit.

Jeevz (February 3, 2012)

nice, drop the nu metal and get back to the DBS I know and love!

lookingforcorpses (February 3, 2012)

Insert wet fart sound here.

baldsteve (February 3, 2012)

How wet are we talking?

jpsingh (February 3, 2012)

The wetter the better

skolarx (February 3, 2012)

Wet enough to cause an itchy butthole if you don't go wipe

telegraphrocks (February 3, 2012)

I enjoy all of their albums except the last one. Hopefully this is a mixture between 1-4, and nothing from 5.
Huzzah.

totalbummer (February 3, 2012)

Sounds good, I'll check it out

baronvonfuckyoustien (February 3, 2012)

I hope they tour more domestically speaking. And I also hope that the guys on this here website don't have same cunt asshole review this record, who did it last time.

"This record is a return to our roots and with the addition of our original bass player Paul Miner as producer we have re-established our signature sound and we managed to forge a new sonic path for Death by Stereo."

So . . . is it a re-establishment of their signature sound, or is it a new sonic path? Pick a damn cliche and stick to it!

Actually, that reminds of the Simpsons quote, "So, you want a realistic, down-to-earth show... that's completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots?"
