Affiance
Blackout
AFFIANCE is an American metal band from Cleveland, OH. Reigning in the powerful Midwest attitude, AFFIANCE combines elements that tear from the sleeve of metal legends with powerful guitar riffs and soaring vocals. Since starting their touring career in 2010, the band has completed many North American, European, and UK tours. Most recently, the band wrapped up a full US tourwith KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and another with PROTEST THE HERO, as well as their first international headliner in South Africa. Theyve been working diligently all year on their newest release, Blackout, set to debut September 23, 2014, on Bullet Tooth. Singer Dennis Tvrdik commented, "We are still a relatively small band in a very big metal world and we hope to change that with this album. Blackout is a bit darker than our previous albums, and I think its time for heavy music with melodies to make its presence known in American metal culture. I am proud to be a part of that." Brett Wondrak (guitar) commented on the new album, "Blackout is another step forward for us. We wrote this album to give our fans everything they expect from us and more. All the catchy guitar licks, crushing breakdowns, shredding solos, and memorable high notes that Dennis is so well known for. These are some of the best songs weve ever written. This has been a great year for metal. Blackout will be no exception."
