Unlike Bad Omens, ERRA has definitely stuck to its name, which translates to mayhem. In the second slot was ERRA, a heavy four-piece grown out of Alabama in 2009. Taken under the wing of the rest of the bands on this bill, it would seem their future is bright.

With that in mind, Bad Omens is not doing anything extraordinarily different in their young Metal career yet, but they have already proven they can hang with the best of them. Firing on all cylinders, Sebastian showed the passion of a frontman that will certainly take his band far. These ingredients make up their single, “Glass Houses,” which served as a definite standout and fan-favorite during the performance. Led by Vocalist Noah Sebastian, after departing from his previous band to fully pursue this project, he recruited Nicholas Ruffilo (guitarist), Vincent Riquier (bassist), Joakim Karlsson (guitarist), and Nick Folio (drummer) along the way just two years ago. Having joined Sumerian Records only a few months ago, their rookie effort was ready to quickly show New York exactly who they are.Īs their set began, the harshness of Sebastian’s lively screams was met with haunting harmonies, power-packed guitar riffs, and aggressive percussion. Leading the charge from Sumerian Records’ bragworthy client roster is Born of Osiris, with hefty support from Veil of Maya, After the Burial, ERRA, and Bad Omens. With dates that run a month long, stopping along the East Coast, Midwest, and Southern region of the USA, on Saturday, February 27th, Gramercy Theatre in New York City would become the host of choice. If March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, Sumerian Records was certainly ready to kick into the new month with a very loud roar. The frigid winds whipped Gramercy Theatre’s sold out crowd into a Metal frenzy, quickly turning a cold, quiet night on East 23rd street into a loud, heated Metalhead paradise.Īs Los Angeles, California based Bad Omens teed off the show, their name proved to be a welcome contradiction, kicking off an incredible night with a strong set. Now in 2016, the once small label has grown into something much bigger as they celebrate their tenth anniversary with a special Sumerian Records 10 Years Tour. Marking the start to something special, since then, the label has become a leading force in the Metal world, building their roster with bands such as Animals as Leaders, Asking Alexandria, Body Count, Circa Survive, and Periphery, among many others. Founded by booking agent Ash Avildsen, the hopeful new venture would make The Faceless’ album Akeldama their first of many releases. Back in November of 2006, a brand new music label by the name of Sumerian Records was born.
