.We .Got .This .Far

With “Blunt Force Volume”, California’s industrial rock band We Got This Far offers a thrilling menu of knife-sharp riffs, crunchy synths and juicy drum kicks, at times heavy hitting and merciless, at times melancholic and thoughtful… Recorded and produced by the band and mastered by Tom Baker (Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, Orgy, Static X), “Blunt Force Volume” contains nine tracks plus a remix by Gary Zon of Dismantled. Available now on Spiralchords Music.

It’s been a long wait, but Blunt Force Volume is finally available in North America! We couldn’t be more proud of this work, and we’re thrilled that it’s finally available in our home country and in so many other places beyond its borders. Keep your eye on the right sidebar for the most convenient ways to get your hands on the album, and don’t forget to check out all the great reviews BFV has been getting from around the world.
