Arms & Armour Releases New Album “The Hunted”

On the heels of recent shows with Boeckner of Wolf Parade and A Place To Bury Strangers, Arms & Armour released it’s The Hunted album via Sweet Cheetah Records on September 4.  The band also shares its video for “The Crusher” filmed in Ohio’s Lake View cemetery. Watch it here.

Emerging from the industrial Mecca that is Cleveland and recording in their studio housed in a 140-year-old drill bit factory, Arms & Armour creates a doom wash of guttural noise, guitar groans, synth colorations, drone measures, and repetitive drum.

The duo consists of Lauren Voss (vocals, guitar, synths) and John Panza (drum machines, acoustic drums, guitar, and synths). Self-produced and self-motivated, they have worked as Arms & Armour for 15 years and have toured the U.S. playing shows with just about any genre one can imagine, from acoustic to death metal shows, quiet to loud, direct to atmospheric. In all cases, Arms & Armour somehow fits…

Gothic sensibilities filtered through doom with elements of EDM and post-punk, Arms & Armour treats genre like a game of literary whack-a-mole, but the whacker is a cudgel covered in drill bits.
