The Banner To Release New Album "Greying"

New Jersey outfit The Banner injected morbid, gothic vibes into metallic hardcore in the early '00s – along with bands like Ink and Dagger, The Banner turned a whole new generation onto a tradition set forth by The Misfits in the '80s.

Now, well over a decade since its formation, The Banner returns, vital as ever, ready to push things forward once again.

The connection between The Banner and Good Fight Music runs deep: Good Fight boss Carl Severson released The Banner's previous two albums – 2005's "Each Breath Haunted" and 2008's "Frailty" – on his former label, Ferret Music.

Good Fight will release The Banner's fourth full-length album, "Greying," in the upcoming months. The band's first album in more than five years, "Greying" was produced by Will Putney (The Acacia Strain, Poison the Well), who was also the producer of 2008's "Frailty."

With the final touches now being put on "Greying," today The Banner reveals one new song off the album: "Crippling Despair." Stream the track below.

The Banner founder and frontman JSS states: "Greying is a mix of Each Breath Haunted's darkness and Frailty's heaviness. To bring you this album we mobilized the same team that brought you Frailty: producer Will Putney and label boss Carl Severson. Greying is very much a continuation of what we built in the last decade, pushing everything forward to create the best music we've ever made."
