Bio
Taking hardcore conviction to a whole new level, Germany's MAROON are quickly outplaying and outlasting their contemporaries around the globe. Formed in early 1998, the vegan, straightedge five-piece is clearly showing their dedication and no signs of slowing down. After an early MCD and a split EP with Self Conquest, the band released their major introduction to the music world in the form of their first full-length, Antagonist, which was released on Alveran Records in Europe and Catalyst Records in America. The band then headlined a European tour and even ventured over to South American and Japan in
2003 in support of the record. It's those initial years of hard work that have caused the band's reputation to spread all over the world, earning them slots at major festivals like With Full Force, Pressure Fest and more, in addition to high profile shows alongside acts such as Hatebreed, Agnostic Front, Earth Crisis and Heaven Shall Burn. And now the time has arrived for the band to take on the American hardcore/metal fans! The band's sophomore album, Endorsed By Hate, is a fantastic example of passion and anger. Launching off the runway paved by bands like Hatebreed, Machine Head and other accomplished acts, MAROON perfect the delicate balance of technicality and brutal delivery. Originally released on Alveran Records in early 2004, Abacus Recordings will proudly be releasing the album in North America with new artwork and two enhanced live-clips from their performance at With Full Force in 2004. The band already has a growing fan base in America, but Endorsed By Hate is the record that will spread the gospel of MAROON from coast to coast.
