Defeater announce new album 'Abandoned,' share first single
by Andrew Sacher
Boston hardcore band Defeater signed to Epitaph earlier this year, and today they finally announced their new album for the label. LP #4 is titled Abandoned and will be out on August 28 via their new label home. Pre-orders are available. First single “Spared In Hell” has Defeater doing what they do best — dark, crushing hardcore but with a clarity that keeps them accessible without sacrificing their aggression. Watch the video for the new song, with the tracklist, below.
As previously mentioned, Defeater are teaming up with ’90s-style guitar bashers Superheaven for a tour this fall, opening for Four Year Strong. That tour hits NYC on October 6 at Gramercy Theatre. Tickets for Gramercy are still available.
