| Raucous, relentless and vicious as hell, Seattle, WA’s Schoolyard Heroes are poised to convert any skeptics to their electrifying church of horror! After two albums with The Control Group, countless brutally epic shows opening for bands like The Fall of Troy, Mindless Self Indulgence, Kill Hannah, Daughters, The Birthday Massacre and The Horrors, Schoolyard Heroes have become more than ready to dominate anything in their path. With Abominations—a fierce horror metal-laden onslaught that confronts the evil side of human nature, with narratives that take place during the apocalypse--vocalist Ryann Donnelly, bassist Jonah Bergman, guitarist Steve Bonnell and drummer Brian Turner prove that they’re stronger now than they’ve ever been, having made a gorgeous, raging album completely on their own terms. Schoolyard Heroes are, after all, a band known for their feral, singularly unique take on spazz-out post-hardcore; Iron Maiden meets Karen O at the firing range. Blender noted in a review of 2005’s Fantastic Wounds that the band’s “creeping melodies menace like an unseen villain.” Now, their villainous onslaught is anything but hidden.
