We made it out to San Francisco on Sunday night for The Moving On Tour as it made a stop at the Regency Ballroom. We were excited to see Upon A Burning Body perform and knew they were going to be fierce. We have been following them since seeing them play at one of the side stages out on Mayhem 2012. It was awesome to see them grown in the short amount of time and once again they killed it at Mayhem earlier this year.

Their set at the Regency was brutal as they unleashed a heavy dose of metal to the immersed crowd. The crowd went wild as they created a circle pit that extended the length of the venue. It was awesome as the energy of the crowd mirrored the band on the stage. When they perform, they give 150% percent of themselves and hold nothing back. Check out the photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set:

So after all the hysteria over the publicity post for Upon A Burning Body from earlier today, they have released a bad ass new track! As I mentioned earlier in my post, I hope people just get over it and move forward. Publicity stunts have been around for ages and will continue to be around. It is a form of art and is used in a dramatic effect to create an element of mystery, anticipation and so much more. Sadly, we now live in hyper-sensitive and overly magnified world in which within minutes news travels as is no longer considered a “hype” or “build-up”.  I have always loved the music of Upon a Burning Body and will continue to. So with that said, check out their fierce new track:

I look forward to catching them this weekend as they head out on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Check the dates below and get yourself to a show!

Sumerian releases statement on Upon a Burning Body publicity stunt

Here is the statement that just posted on Sumerian FaceBook Page about the report of Danny Leal Missing:

I woke up to a ton of missed calls and just saw all this stuff about Danny Leal of UABB posing as that he’s been abducted or kidnapped. My phone hasn’t stopped ringing since. As a child, we all learn the story “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and it sticks within our consciousness for a reason. I do not condone this type of publicity stunt. This was done behind my back and I am not OK with it. In my eyes, there’s never a time to use the possibility of real-life abduction, injury or murder of someone you care about to promote anything, especially an album. If you need to resort to that, then you have lost the plot. We as a society should have evolved past that way of thinking by now and especially within the rock/metal community, given all the tragedy that has happened in our world over the past few years. There are some people who owe us an apology. -Ash Avildsen, Creator & CEO of Sumerian Records.

 

 * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I just saw the post after getting off the phone with the San Antonio Police Department that mentioned their Missing Persons department has been flooded with calls for the past several hours. We saw the original post about Danny missing but of course, we don’t publish without fact checking everything. Many are waiting for a post by Upon a Burning Body.

Well, we did want to get the post out immediately to dispel the rumors around this. Please share and let everyone know. We don’t people worrying unnecessarily.

Publicity stunts have always been quite popular and have been around for ages but in today’s world, they take on a new meaning. Sadly, we live in such a magnified world where within hours the entire world could know about something that would have been a publicity stunt for days, even weeks.  I don’t blame the band or the label. It is not going to change my opinion of their music in any way. I hope people can just move forward. I personally love their music and will continue to support them. I look forward to seeing them at Mayhem this Sunday.  Stay tuned for our Mayhem Festival coverage!
