MATRIARCHS
is a metallic hardcore band formed by Ben Levi (Cutthroat, Fate
Destroyed) in Los Angeles in 2012, inspired by his affinity for Beat
Down and ‘90s New York metallic hardcore. Ben had played with drummer
Alfred Santa Cruz, bassist Miguel Vasquez and guitarist Marty Cole in
several other projects throughout the last decade so they were no
strangers to getting creative together. After playing their first show
to a packed house the boys never looked back. They've gone on to play
with bands like Soulfly, Harm's Way, Disgrace, Bane, Backtrack, Sworn
Enemy and Vision Of Disorder.
An
ambitious release produced by Nick Jett of Terror, and mastered by Matt
Hyde (Lionheart, Hatebreed, Deftones), Scandalous Jointz fused together
the visual aesthetic and presentation of more thought-provoking heavy
acts with the sonic ferocity and energy of hardcore. A few national
festivals and two tours later saw the band taking a hiatus and
reflecting on what the general direction and purpose of the band would
be.
In
2018 MATRIARCHS parted ways with vocalist Richard Barthel. After
teaming up with Jeremy Valentyne and Brandon Wolfe to produce their new
release, adding veteran Carlos Pagan to the lineup on guitar and meeting
new vocalist K Enagonio during the pandemic, the band found the new
fire it needed. In K the band finds its truest voice. Over the
quarantine they wrote their second full length, Year of the Rat,
released last fall through KnucklehedzINC and Upstate Records.
Their follow to that effort, a stream series entitled The Shape Of C#nts To Come, will be released this October.
'Ascendancy' is set to be released on October 5.
