Light Yourself On Fire Signs To Seventh Rule
Seventh Rule Recordings has announced the signing of Light Yourself On Fire. Representing Tampa, Florida, Light Yourself On Fire consists of four veterans of Tampa's metal and hardcore scenes, hailing from such bands as Reversal Of Man, Scrog, and Brutality.
Light Yourself On Fire describes the origin of its visceral, aggressive sound as "hardcore kids growing up in the death metal capital and being influenced by early 90's noise," naming Obituary, Swans, and Christian Death as influences.
Seventh Rule Recordings, a Chicago-based label with albums by Akimbo, Sweet Cobra, Buried At Sea, and Indian under its belt, will release Light Yourself On Fire's new effort, "Intimacy," in fall 2008. "Intimacy" was recorded by Mark Nikolich (Torche, Kylesa) at Atomic Audio Recording in Tampa, Florida, and mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Nile) at Visceral Sound.
Light Yourself On Fire's debut full-length was released in 2007, on CD by Kiss Of Death Records and on cassette by Robotic Empire.
The band will be touring throughout 2008.

LIGHT YOURSELF ON FIRE consists of ex-members of REVERSAL OF MAN, SCROG, BRUTALITY, and more.
The band’s sound is inspired by the intensity of the Tampa death metal scene, as well as the dark atmosphere of bands like SWANS and CHRISTIAN DEATH, and the abrasive, off-kilter noise of bands like HELMET and UNSANE.
The new EP was produced by Mark Nikolich at Atomic Audio Recording in Tampa, FL, and mastered by Scott Hull at Visceral Sound.

"Just got a call from Jerry Mortellaro [ex-DIABOLIC guitarist] tonight letting us know that Bryan Hipp, ex-DIABOLIC guitarist, died last night [Saturday, Oct. 21]. Cause of death unknown.
"Bryan Hipp helped write songs off the DIABOLIC album 'Subterranal Magnitude' and helped DIABOLIC complete the 'Death Metal Massacre' Metal Maniacs tour 2000, opening for CANNIBAL CORPSE, GOD DETHRONED and HATE ETERNAL.
"We are posting the song 'Infernalism' Bryan Hipp wrote back in 1999. Bryan Hipp also played in BRUTALITY, CRADLE OF FILTH, and in BLASTMASTERS he helped write the song 'Implemented Digital Control'!!! On stage Bryan Hipp would explode with raging headspins. His talent to create some of the most dark and evil riffs will be missed."
As previously reported, DIABOLIC uploaded a new song, entitled "Devour the Subconscious", to their MySpace page. The track comes off the band's new album, "Shellfire and Tombstones", which was recorded and mixed in July/August 2006 at Diet Of Worms Studio in Seffner, Florida with producer Juan "Punchy" Gonzalez (MORBID ANGEL).
