Full Scale Riot Announces "Empower" Album

NYC area-based hardcore quartet Full Scale Riot has today issued the details for debut album, "Empower." Set for release through Eulogy Recordings this November 25th, the album includes an all-star cast of guest musicians, with Ben Harper, Chris Rivers, members of Soulfly, Murphy's Law, and more having taken part in the recordings.

Engineered and co-produced by Eric Rachel with engineering assistance from Eric Kovortec at Trax East Recording Studio, "Empower" delivers nearly a half-hour of punk and thrash-fueled hardcore.

Guest vocalists on the album include a raging intro by Jimmy Gestapo (Murphy's Law) for the track "Eighty-Two Hundred," vocals from fledgling singer Tsarina Romanoff on the track "Hold You To The Fire," and an explosive session by Bronx rapper Chris Rivers (son of the late great rapper Big Pun) on the track "Freedom Of Self."

Additionally, Marc Rizzo (Soulfly, Misfits) supplies a volatile guitar solo to the song "Hope," while Ben Harper provides guitars to the inspiring "Game Face."
