THE BOY WILL DROWN SIGNS WITH EARACHE

EARACHE is proud to announce the signing of British technical metallers THE
BOY WILL DROWN to a multi-album, worldwide recording deal.

THE BOY WILL DROWN are a four-piece band based in Norwich/Colchester in the
UK who formed in late 2006. Currently regarded as one of the most
flamboyant and intense bands in the UK, they play a vicious blend of
technical and experimental music based around grindcore and death metal.
Refusing to play "sugar-coated" metal like so many other bands, THE BOY WILL
DROWN do everything in their power to mesmerise and pulverise the listener,
whilst simultaneously injecting an element of humour, fun and youth into the
otherwise serious face of the extreme metal genre. Drawing influence from
such bands as DECAPITATED, NECROPHAGIST and PSYOPUS, THE BOY WILL DROWN
create music that's technically breathtaking, with punishing metal riffage,
yet still retains that "groove" factor.

With an ever-growing fanbase eagerly awaiting their first full-length
release, THE BOY WILL DROWN are set to follow in the path of their idols
DECAPITATED and enter Hertz Studios in Poland this October to record their
debut album.
