ARGUS: "Beyond the Martyrs" Coming This October on Cruz Del Sur Music

Cruz Del Sur Music will release Beyond the Martyrs, from US doom metal  outfit ARGUS, on October 1st in North America and October 7th release  in the UK.    Beyond the Martyrs starts where their 2011's release Boldly Stride the  Doomed had left us...at the Ruins of Ouroboros. In between these two releases ARGUS has tested its strength and valor in several live shows both in their homeland and in Europe, receiving high praises from fans and from the record industry. Although a sense of impending fate marks again their compositions, the characteristic doom metal elements which were a distinguished trademark of ARGUS' past releases have now given way to what is primarily to a genuine heavy metal approach, its nature rooted in the most classic environment of Heavy Metal tradition. 1. By Endurance We Conquer 2. No Peace Beyond The Line  3. The Hands of Time Are Bleeding 4. Trinity  5. Four Candles Burning  6. The Coward's Path 7. Cast Out All Raging Spirits 8. Beyond The Martyrs ARGUS' third album is sure to force metal heads everywhere to raise horn-crested fists to the sky. Beyond the Martyrs contains the hallmarks of their previous works - twin guitars, soaring vocals, and a driving rhythm ection; it is heavy, melodic, epic, and brooding all at once. After their successful shows at festivals such as Hammer of Doom in 2011 and Dublin Doom Days in 2012, the band will hit again the European soil with a proper tour in October 2013 in order to promote Beyond the Martyrs.   Pennsylvania's ARGUS stormed onto the underground metal scene with their twin guitar-driven, doom-tinged, working class metal sound. Releasing a self-recorded demo in early 2007 on John Brenner's (Revelation/Against Nature) DIY label, Bland Hand Records, the band was roundly welcomed by the metal community at home as well as abroad and established its foundation amongst friends/fans within the scene. With this initial momentum, the band created a buzz that was only solidified by their punishing live performances. Their self-titled debut album was released in May of 2009, receiving much critical praise. Following, was the 2011 release of the epic album Boldly Stride  The Doomed, which also marks a switch to the record label, Cruz Del Sur.   The band has continued to gain notoriety, traveling abroad and around the U.S.  The release of their third full-length album, Beyond The Martyrs, is staged for release in October 2013. www.argusmetal.com www.facebook.com/argusmetal www.youtube.com/user/arguspa www.cruzdelsurmusic.com
