We are pleased to announce our newest addition to our family; Heavy hardcore legends TAKEN BY FORCE, and will be releasing their sophomore EP, "We Will Remain".

Hailing from Newcastle in Australia, TAKEN BY FORCE play their music the way they know best - Furiously heavy hardcore complemented by scathing, in your face vocals. Since 2008, five piece refuse to let up, touring Australia with Miami's 'Thick as blood' as well as supporting Terror, Death Before Dishonour and a horde of other international acts on numerous local and interstate shows. The bands 2011 debut full length album, "Taking Back What's Mine", was unleashed on the hardcore and metal community in early 2011. Recorded by acclaimed Melbourne producer Sam Johnson (50 Lions, Toe To Toe) and mastered by the legendary Alan Douches, the album proved the band a force to be reckoned with. TAKEN BY FORCE will be following up their debut release with their new crushing EP "We Will Remain" through Skull And Bones Records / Shock.
