Striking that perfect balance between melody and mosh has become an art form for post-hardcore quintet For All Those Sleeping, but with the release of new album 'Outspoken', the band are about to take it to the next level. Their second full-length captures the Minnesota quintet at a new creative zenith, and this time, they’re pissed.

“This record is a big ‘Fuck You’ to anyone that’s doubted what we are and what we are capable of,” says lead singer Mike Champa. “We were just fed up with a lot of things in our lives,” adds guitarist/lyricist David Volgman-Stevens. “We were proud of our last record and we’ve been having a blast touring, but we feel we’ve been holding a lot of stuff in; we figured we’d be honest with ourselves and through our music, to our fans. It’s just letting everything out and saying what we feel. It’s an unapologetic, angry, honest and emotional record. There was no other title really for this album but 'Outspoken'.”
 
For All Those Sleeping—which also includes drummer Ethan Trekell, bassist London Snetsinger and rhythm guitarist Jerad Pierskalla—formed in St. Cloud, MN in 2007. The band issued the independent EP 'The Lies We Live' in 2008, and then signed with Fearless Records in 2009, leading to their 2010 full-length debut, 'Cross Your Fingers'. The album debuted at #25 on Billboard's Heatseeker's Chart and #11 on the Alternative New Artist's Chart. The band hit the road hard in support of the release, including tours with Falling In Reverse, Asking Alexandria, Motionless in White, A Skylit Drive, Breathe Carolina, Sleeping With Sirens, The Word Alive, and a summer run on The All Stars Tour, featuring blessthefall, Emmure, Alesana and Born of Osiris.

With a full slate of touring planned behind Outspoken’s June 19th release, 2012 promises to be the year that For All Those Sleeping reach more potential fans than ever. Armed with their most impassioned and confident release to date, the band is sure to win over hordes of new heavy music devotees, while giving longtime fans an even greater blast of what they’ve already come to love.

Franz Johann Bogendorfer is a multifaceted producer and DJ celebrated for his innovative contributions to the electronic music scene. He also is known by his various aliases Bogendorfer, DJ Anza, IMIX, Cohuna Beatz, NovaQue and Batusim. 
As the head of B.A.B.A. Records, he has cultivated a diverse and forward-thinking label that showcases a wide range of genres, including Electronic, Dub, Deep Tech, Downtempo, Funk, Nu-Jazz, Organic House, Afro-House, Tech- House, Techno, DnB and Trance. His expertise extends to his work as an immersive 3D audio-engineer for Dolby Atmos mixes at Batusim Studio Austria, where his meticulous attention to detail ensures exceptional sound quality. Renowned for his dynamic live performances and genre-blending productions, Bogendorfer continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, making a significant impact on the industry under his various monikers.

The sounds that you hear are not just synthetic or artificial. They are not just a couple of buttons pressed down over a span of time. This American producer from North Carolina, LyonHart, wants every string, every crash, every kick, every build, and every break to tell a story from beginning to end, with each piece of sound configured to convey exactly what he feels.

As an artist, LyonHart has the Trance genre as his weapon of choice: "Trance isn't just something I listen to and produce. It is something I will perpetually breathe, live and have a passion for. Trance isn't biased. Trance isn't pretentious. Trance is love and it's that exact same love I want to share with the world and express through my music. I want to do something to the Trance sound that has yet to be done."

I do mostly instrumentals for the reason that I like to let the music speak for itself. Each instrument has its own sound that expresses palpable energy and tells a story through its progression. With this, I want to ensure that people are still able to delve into something personal and unique, whether it is nostalgic or perfectly new. That in itself is how strength is built. That's what I love about music. Everyone can construct an aggregate of experiences through something as seemingly simple as sound.

Getting inspiration from the major artists, like Armin van Buuren and BT, LyonHart keeps an openmind about the Trance genre, departing from the norm and manipulating sounds and styles to bring something new to the scene.

"I want to produce music that people can connect to and play sets that are emotive and touch others, just as I've been touched by the sounds of Electronic Dance Music."
