NEWS: Arson Charge return to the crime scene…

Denver Colorado Thrash-Punks Arson Charge have shared a second single in “The Aftermath” from their 3rd October releasing debut album “A Dying Light“. Formed from the ashes of bands like Native Daughters, Chieftain, and Love Me Destroyer as well as being fronted by stand-up comedian, actor, and Spells lead singer Ben Roy they describe their debut as a bludgeoning and brutal dive into the feelings of pain, disconnection, and loss that arise from abuse and self-sabotage.

Vocalist Ben Roy comments: “‘The Aftermath’ is a break up song, plain and simple. But, more than that, it’s about two very different people, from two very different worlds, who fell in love and tried to find common ground. Unfortunately, that bullshit may work in movies, but it rarely plays out positively in real life. And the aftermath of these types of relationships is often a painful spiral of misunderstandings, unfair judgements, and disconnections. Don’t fall in love. Get a pet.”

“A Dying Light started off as an impromptu creative outlet for guitarist Justin Hackl after a series of serious health issues and extended hospital stays sidelined him for months. After working with comedian and musician Ben Roy on a couple of those tracks, both decided that there was the framework for an entirely new musical project. Enlisting the talents of drummer Cody Hull, guitarist Dave Sandoval, and bassist Kris Hodgell, Arson Charge was born. Bringing together all their collective influences and styles, A Dying Light is a technical, aggressive, and surprisingly cohesive meld of punk rock, thrash metal, and hardcore. Lyrically it’s a catharsis; it’s a raw and real expression of the loss, self sabotage, fear and, ultimately, hope that we all experience, day in/day out, in our increasingly complicated existences. Again: Don’t fall in love. Get a pet or a fern or something.”
