With a promising musical career ahead of them the Midwestern quintuplets inked a deal with Victory Records in August 2012 andwill soon be leaving their mark on the metal community. Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, TEAR OUT THE HEART formed in 2011 and is comprised of lead vocalist, Tyler Konersman, Isaac Etter on bass/clean vocals, guitarists Josh Spohr and Matthieu Murphy and Matt Epstein on drums. The inception of the band was founded on the principle that there are to be no "weak links" in the group. The band unanimously agreed that when this lineup had gotten together in one room it was instant energy and everything just clicked. From that day on the rest was history. Highly charged and powerful live shows are the best way to see TEAR OUT THE HEART communicate their message to fans. Konersman's realist and often intense lyrics tie everything together creating a unique metal experience unlike any other. Malicious guitar riffs and monstrous breakdowns are all evidently present within their sound. Theirmusic can be compared to the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice & Men and As I Lay Dying.

Even before its release, singles from the album were streamed and listened to over 67,000 times, proving their passion for playing is matched tenfold by the quality of their performance. Called "aggressive and explosive" by Outburn Magazine and "heavy as hell" by Big Cheese Magazine, Violence embodies what TEAR OUT THE HEART is all about - delivering dynamic tracks capable of stopping you in your tracks.
