Ohio metal veterans Sea of Treachery have signed with Mutant League Records and have dropped their first single along with an accompanying music video for their label debut.
Stream the new single "What's Past Is Prologue"HERE.
Vocalist Alex Huffman says: “We’re extremely excited to be working with Mutant League—we’ve wanted to find the right partner that understands both where we are as a band and as people, and in the past, that has often proven difficult. They are a breath of fresh air and believe in our music and our ethics and I am so excited for this chapter. It’s a blessing to be rejoined by Michael, who is an original member of Sea of Treachery and to see him work with Christian to record these songs. We’re also thrilled to have Ricky Armellino, Adam Reed, and Andreas Magnusson helping us with the mixing and mastering. It’s a dream scenario for us.”
Guitarist Christian McManama adds, “Being signed is obviously a hugely impactful thing for all of us, and being sought out by a label like Mutant League that believes in both our vision and music truly makes the achievement even richer for each of us. For me personally, it’s ushered in a new, much awaited chapter in life. A short statement can’t possibly capture how excited I am to be able to bring new music into existence, and to help finally breathe new life into Sea of Treachery as the first metal band signed to Mutant League Records. Since words alone won’t suffice, I aim to put all of that energy and passion into the new music. This is only the beginning.”
The band says: “'What's Past is Prologue' is about embracing our struggles, learning from our mistakes, and forging ahead with unwavering determination. The lyrics discuss mental health issues that can make even the most mundane tasks seem like triumphs, but emphasize that the true goal is to break free from the cycles of depression and anxiety to confront struggle head-on. This song is a cathartic and personal release for us, and we hope it resonates with our fans on a similar level, empowering them to overcome their own challenges.”

6/8 - Toledo, OH @ Toledo Death Fest (w/Oceano)

Of the new track, vocalist Jesse Vadala says, "In the time when we were touring independently and writing our own way around the country, I often felt invincible even if just for a while. Inevitably, the rubber band would snap and bad news would arrive. I would be reminded swiftly of the severity of time and certainty of death. Always mildly obsessed with thoughts of my own.
This song is loosely written about a few close friends who passed away. I struggled like many do in processing death, especially those lost to addiction. We always wish for ways to protect the ones we love. When they leave abruptly, it can shatter so many lives. Some days we feel lost. Other days we shine a bit brighter from the light of our memories. There were several sharp moments like this in the last few years. Now when I give it time, I feel so proud and thankful for all of the beautiful memories, they tend to outweigh the bad."
With The Punches is regarded as a staple within the emo/pop punk community. Formed in 2008, the band has released three EP’s and one full-length album in that time. Their new EP “Discontent” will be the band’s first release in over 9 years. Recorded and produced by Brendan Williams at Gain Stage Studios, the upcoming EP includes 5 of their most distinguished tracks to date.
Chief State are back with a new single titled "Team Wiped" off their just-announced upcoming debut full-length 'Waiting For Your Colours,' which will be released via Mutant League Records on July 1.
The follow-up to the band's 2021 stand-alone single "Metaphors" and 2020 breakthrough EP 'Tough Love,' 'Waiting For Your Colours' is the culmination of 5 years of relentless hustle (not to mention a ton of blood, sweat, and tears).
The journey to get here began with frontman Fraser Simpson, who at an impasse in his life, decided on a whim to leave his home in the UK for Japan in 2014 and eventually move to North America to form a band via Craigslist, where he connected with Nik Pang, Chris Kavanagh, Justin Pham and Joseph Soderholm to create Chief State.
Uncertainty, longing, a search for meaning, and assessing life choices make up the themes on the new album, which chronicles closing out your 20s at a crossroads and examining where we belong, our place in the world, and allowing ourselves the time to figure it all out.
Simpson says, "There’s definitely a coming of age theme on the new album. We're asking ourselves: What am I looking to get out of life, out of being in a band? What joys do I want to pursue and where do I want to place my energy moving forward? We've come to the realization that we all need to stress less on the things we can’t control and enjoy more of what we have, what we can control and the journey itself."
Collectively the band members spent their young adult lives struggling mentally, emotionally and financially, in pursuit of their dreams, but the grind appears to have paid off, as Chief State is now on the cusp of something great!
With an ever-growing legion of fans in their corner, a reputation for stellar live shows, and a new album's worth of kickass songs in their arsenal, 2022 is shaping up to be the year of Chief State.
