Name Signs To Lifeforce Records

Lifeforce Records has announced the addition of California's NAME to their roster.

Founded in 2003 by brothers Wes and Jeremy Fareas, the New Approach to Martyrs Expressions [Name], is an amalgam of experimental tech metal, grindcore, ambient sounds, freeform jazz, blues, cultural world music, an odd sense of humor, and maniacal mood swings. "Music isn't supposed to be safe, it's meant to catapult you into a risky situation," says Wes. "We want to revive danger in art. We're trying to show that as much as possible."

With a few EPs, a full length album ("Portrait," 2004) and all new genre-bending material for their Lifeforce 2009 debut, "Internet Killed The Audio Star," which is set for a late summer release, Name has set out to remold all the stagnant preconceptions of heavy music.

You can check out songs from their Lifeforce debut "'Internet Killed The Audio Star'" at the band's Myspace page.
