Very limited white vinyl, B-side etched pressing of four brand new tracks from Boy Sets Fire's Nathan Gray and his son, Simon. I Am Heresy’s music effortlessly combines noisy hardcore, raging punk, technical metal and heavy breakdowns. The combination of acoustic guitars, distorted vocals, and noise effects closer to the quiet moments of NEUROSIS then the “punks go acoustic” trend of the last few years.

 

The brainchild of Boy Sets Fire vocalist Nathan Gray, I Am Heresy’s sound is an eruption channeling the passionate hardcore/punk fury of early Boy Sets Fire streaking ferociously down the middle of the metallic-tinged prowess and influences of fellow hardcore giants Integrity and Converge.

 

One of the most common things to ever possibly happen across the entire universe is the phenomenon by which a band breaks up and a key member suddenly gains a clear vision for what his next band NEEDS to be. It’s in a virtual tie with the story of the band that “came so close to breaking up” during the recording of “their newest, and greatest, album to date.”

 

I Am Heresy’s formation certainly qualifies under the auspices of the former, but with a twist that will knock you back on your ass faster than you can shout “Shyamalan!” For it’s not the typical story of “our old bands used to tour together and we always wanted to play in a band someday…” Not even close. With I Am Heresy, we’re literally talking about a father and son deciding to join forces in order to properly layeth the proverbial smacketh down. Nathan Gray (also of Boy Sets Fire) was ending a stint fronting The Casting Out whilst son Simon Gray and Jonah Latshaw (son of Boy Sets Fire guitarist Joshua Latshaw) continued playing guitar and singing respectively for May 4th Massacre. After “walking in on” his son (playing Guitar… you sick, sick f*cks), ideas were hatched, demos were pieced together and, eventually, a full band was formed with the addition of brothers Jay and Crumbs Konieko (The Dead and Gone) brought in as the rhythm section and Gregg Kautz (Chambers) summoned to complete an unholy trinity of guitar madness.

 

The result? I Am Heresy’s sound is an eruption channeling the passionate hardcore/punk fury of early Boy Sets Fire streaking ferociously down the middle of the metallic-tinged prowess and influences of fellow hardcore giants Integrity and Converge. Imposing. Frenetic. Unrelenting. And certainly unrepentant.
