“The Fire, The Dark” is the latest single from the band’s recent release "The Great Depression."
Released via Fearless Records last Fall, this album is comfortably As It Is’ most layered, technically accomplished and certainly most aggressive release to date.
"The Great Depression" was produced by legendary producer MACHINE (Lamb Of God, Every Time I Die) and is a record that establishes the band as one of the most daring creative forces in their scene.
Music videos for “The Wounded World,” “The Stigma” and “The Reaper” further prove the creative and storytelling power of the Brighton-based quartet.
In an exclusive interview with Loudwire, Vocalist Patty Walters said, “I suppose our two main goals were to restructure the way this scene depicts depression and to shatter stigmas surrounding mental health along the way. This album has completely changed us as people and the band we intend to be in the future.”The band kicked off "The Great Depression Tour: Act II" in Los Angeles, California.
Fans were able to tune into PopCrush’s Instagram Story throughout the day for a behind the scenes look into the first day of tour.
