ACARO Joins the Ascendance Family!

It is a pleasure to announce that that mighty ACARO have come onto Ascendance under the promotional and publicity roster!  Name ring a bell?  Perhaps you saw them at the New England Metal and Hardcore Fest in 2009 and/or 2010?  Maybe at your local venue?  Maybe at the Rock Your Face Off Fest in 2010 and/or 2011?  If you haven’t heard of these guys yet, perk your ears up and pay attention; go watch the video after the jump, maybe you have heard of Burn in Silence or Overcast?  Ya, that’s right.  Vocalist Chris Harrell was also the vocalist for Prosthetic Records act Burn In Silence in the mid 2000’s and drummer Jason Fitzgerald laid the beats down for Overcast, which also featured members who became apart of Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, and Seemless.  Accompanying Harrell and Fitzgerald are two very talented shred machines, Felipe Roa and Chris Leblanc.  Kevin Smith takes the low end with his thunderous bass playing.  Together they take various elements from several genres including hardcore, thrash, and death metal to form an aggressive sound like no other.  Here at Ascendance, we are pleased to have them aboard.
