PIERCE THE VEIL: 'Collide With The Sky' Cracks U.S. Top 15

July 25, 2012

"Collide With The Sky", the third album from the California-based progressive post-hardcore band PIERCE THE VEIL, sold 27,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 12 on The Billboard 200 chart. Recorded with producers Dan Korneff and Kato Khandwala (MAYDAY PARADE, PARAMORE, A DAY TO REMEMBER),the CD embraces the San Diego quartet's unique blend of incendiary guitar lines and soaring melodies. The album was tipped by Alternative Press in their rundown of the "Most Anticipated Music Of 2012."

"It's been a long and, in the true sense of the word, epic journey creating this new album," said PIERCE THE VEIL singer Vic Fuentes. "After a year of working out parts on the road, recording demos on the bus, living in a cabin that we turned into a studio for months at a time, writing while we were overseas in Europe, and not to mention the three months that we spent recording the album in New Jersey, we have literally poured every bit of our collective lives into this record and we cannot wait any longer to show it to you!"

"Collide With The Sky" track listing:

01. May These Noises Startle You In Your Sleep Tonight
02. Hell Above
03. A Match Into Water
04. King For A Day
05. Bulls In The Bronx
06. Props & Mayhem
07. Tangled In The Great Escape
08. I'm Low On Gas And You Need A Jacket
09. The First Punch
10. One Hundred Sleepless Nights
11. Stained Glass Eyes And Colorful Tears
12. Hold On Till May

Blending the unique vocal style of Fuentes, incendiary guitar lines and soaring melody, "Collide With The Sky" is an aural exploration that at once both packs a punch, while finding the pockets of calm in the chaos — a talent that has made the band such a refreshingly exhilarating force in the scene.

Having toured with some of the biggest names in the music, including BRING ME THE HORIZON, A DAY TO REMEMBER, OF MICE & MEN, THURSDAY and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, the band tears into a packed tour schedule in support of "Collide With The Sky", with a full summer on Vans Warped Tour's main stage and a U.K. headline tour this fall.
