ASG Announce New LP “Survive Sunrise” & Share Title-Track

North Carolina riff-rockers ASG have announced the release of their sixth album and first one in five years, Survive Sunrise, due out June 15 via Relapse Records.

Recorded, mixed and mastered with longtime producer Matt Hyde (Deftones, Slayer, Monster Magnet), Survive Sunrise further expands upon ASG’s trademark blend of heavy, southern-fried, alt-rock fury and infectious, hook-centric accessibility. With unabashedly hooky vocals, evocative lyrics and well-honed musical chops, ASG create soaring, melodic rock anthems with a sunny, colorful vibe that are reminiscent of the album’s electrifying cover art, designed by Malleus (Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, The Melvins).

The band have also shared the opening, title-track “Survive Sunrise”. “‘Survive Sunrise’ seemed like an appropriate opening track for our new album, to me the song kind of feels like an introduction- an intro but with the length and structure of a complete song. Hopefully it gives the listener some insight as to what they might encounter further down the record,” commented ASG’s Jason Shi.
