"The song twists through the band's signature abrasive and off-kilter guitar riffs while intertwining subtle melody with raw yelps from frontman Josh Scogin."

Texas In July Announce the Coming of Self Titled Album

Just announced today (August 7) hardcore/metal band Texas In July will be releasing a brand new self titled album this fall. The album will be the band's third when released October 9. With the announcement of the coming album, the Texas In July will also release the first single off the album a month in advance on September 11. The track is called "Bed of Nails."

“This track is collectively one of our favorite songs that we have ever written as a band,” said lyricist and bassist Ben Witkowski. “For the most part, 'Bed of Nails' was written in the studio. It came together so smoothly and, surprisingly, pretty early on in writing/recording process and quickly became a favored track. We think of it as our hybrid song - it has many contrasting musical parts, as well as a heavy hitting vocal chant near the tail of the song. I really think people are going to be pleased to hear this song. I would love to see this track become our next “Hook Line and Sinner." It’s very memorable, and feels like the perfect track to be released as the first listen for the upcoming record.”

Here is the full track listing...
- Initiate
- Cry Wolf
- Shallow Point
- Without A Head (ft. Chadwick Johnson of Hundredth)
- Bed of Nails
- Repressed Memories
- C4 (ft. Dave Stephens of We Came As Romans)
- Crux Lust
- Paranoia
- Black Magic
- Cloudy Minds (ft. Matt Greiner of August Burns Red)

As you can see, the track has several special guest vocalists and musicians. Greiner is the drummer of August Burns Red, Stephens is the vocalist for We Came As Romans, and Johnson is the vocalist for Hundredth.

Texas In July was recorded at The Machine Shop Studios in Belleville, New Jersey under the bands record label Equal Vision Records. The album will be their second under the label.

Texas In July is currently finishing out the the Scream It Like You Mean It Tour on the red and gold lines. The band will then travel over seas for their end of summer fall tour with For All Eternity. You can view all those details here.
