Rhode Island's
THY WILL BE DONE will release a new six-song EP,
"Temple", on September 25. The EP was produced and engineered by the band, mixed by acclaimed metal producer
Chris "Zeuss" Harris at
Planet Z and is the inaugural release on the band's own
Eye.On Lion Recordings with
INgrooves Fontana handling worldwide distribution.
Eye.On Lion Recordings is a DIY-style record label designed to release new music, merchandise, as well as other media from
THY WILL BE DONE. The first single,
"You, The Apathy Divine", was officially released through
iTunes on June 26 following the band's performance at the
Orion Music + More festival, for which they were hand-picked by the festival curators
METALLICA.
"Temple" is
THY WILL BE DONE's third release following 2009's
"In Ancient Of Days" and the 2007 debut,
"Was And Is To Come". The
"Temple" EP shows the band expanding on their sound that both peers and press have already described as defying metal sub-genres. The first single off the EP,
"You, The Apathy Divine", has been climbing steadily on
SiriusXM Liquid Metal's weekly Top 12 countdown "The Devil's Dozen". It has been one of the most requested songs since its release.
On deciding to pave their way and start their own label,
THY WILL BE DONE's vocalist and co-writer
J Costa commented, "As a band, we've always wanted to preserve our expressions as well as the way they reach the listener. It's important for us to have a fan feel, see, and hear the finished piece as closely to the creative source of energy as possible.
Eye.On Lion is a way for us to offer our artistic creations to those who choose to support us and by proxy, excludes a lot of 'middle-people'."
He added, "Growing up, I've always thought about having my own label and could identify with labels like
Dischord that seemed to be doing things from a passionate perspective. I also found it inspiring seeing artists like
Jack White and
Mike Patton, amongst others, as well as bands like
NEUROSIS,
TOOL, and
CLUTCH, whom have decided to blaze their own trail in this ever-changing industry. Having worked with
Jamey Jasta and his
Stillborn label for our first two releases, I was inspired even more to want to maintain the DIY ethos I've always had and start this label.
Jamey's belief in us got us started on this journey. Not only do we consider him family, but also an inspiration to us."
THY WILL BE DONE has toured extensively throughout Japan and Europe. They have taken to the stage in North American for a plethora of performances, including tours supporting the likes of
MACHINE HEAD,
LAMB OF GOD,
ALL THAT REMAINS,
DEVILDRIVER,
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH,
HATEBREED and
FEAR FACTORY. Refreshed and invigorated with the upcoming release of their new EP,
THY WILL BE DONE is ready to hit the road. Tour dates and additional updates will be coming soon.
