Holy Roman Empire post new mp3[views:2027][posts:0]_____________________________________ [May 4,2007 1:52pm - the_reverend ""] One of Alternative Press’s “100 Bands You Need To Know in 2007”, Chicago’s own Holy Roman Empire, is more than excited to announce the new track titled “An Alliance Of Thieves” posted for your listening pleasure at http://www.myspace.com/holyromanempire ! This track is off of Holy Roman Empire’s highly anticipated debut album, The Longue Durée, which hits stores on June 5th. Fader.com said, “I suggest you keep an eye on this exuberant five-piece because you will no doubt be hearing their name again very soon.” We couldn’t agree more. Additionally, beginning Tuesday, May 22nd, the fine folks at Absolutepunk.net will be exclusively streaming four more brand new Holy Roman Empire tunes. Mark your calendars! The Longue Durée is also ready for pre-orders starting today, with the first 75 orders to receive letter pressed edition of the album. Check out www.hewhocorruptsinc.com for more information. Holy Roman Empire will also be sharing the stage alongside Rise Against, Silverstein, and Comeback Kid this summer! Hitting up both the United States and Canada, Holy Roman Empire couldn’t be more excited. Jay Jancetic, guitarist for Holy Roman Empire, said, “We are not only excited to finally get on the road and play our new songs for people, but we're ecstatic to be on tour with Rise Against. We realize how fortunate we are to be part of this lineup. Rise Against are not only good friends, but simply said they're just an awesome band.” Check out the tour dates below with more adding soon! And, in case you’re not familiar, Holy Roman Empire combines influences like The Cure, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Hum with it’s members’ core roots in Rise Against, The Hope Conspiracy, Shai Hulud, and Arma Angelus to create their own trademark female-fronted post- hardcore sound. Vocalist Emily Schambra lends her voice to Rise Against's The Sufferer & The Witness, which is an impressive introduction to those who hadn't previously heard Holy Roman Empire. While many insist the underground music scene has grown stagnant over the past several years, Holy Roman Empire is dead-set on leaving its mark on the art form as the band harkens back to the grandiose and ebullient sounds of the aforementioned genre-defining bands, while managing to chisel their own niche into such fine company.
