— Broken Circles

We’ve once again teamed up with our friends at Animal Style to bring you a new split 7″ from Half Hearted Hero and Deadhorse out December 6.

The split features 2 new tracks from Half Hearted Hero and 1 new epic offering from Deadhorse spread across 3 different colors limited to 500 copies. Both Animal Style and Broken Circles will carry our own exclusive color available in our own respective webstores.

A perfect mishmash of conflicting styles and celebrating a time when splits brought you more interesting combinations. Some may scratch their heads over the pairing but put together they offer the perfect juxtaposition for the split format.

Pre-orders and other information will be available soon but in the mean time head over to Absolute Punk and check out Half Hearted Hero’s new song “For The Firing Squad” featuring guest vocals from Nuno Pereira of A Wilhelm Scream. A stream for the new Deadhorse track “New Bones” will be up next week.
