DC Hardcore act, Betrayed, are releasing a 4 song EP titled Suffering on React! Records this summer.  Here’s what the band had to say about the release:

This is our first record in a few years and this 4-song EP features the same early vs. late harDCore vibe that the band is known for, but with some Uniform Choice tossed into the mix as well. Lyrically this one is a little more pissed than previous releases… I’ve had a bit of a rough year so what can I say? Todd really delivered on these songs and I think it’s some of the best stuff we’ve done so I’m excited to get it out to the world and play some shows.

Suffering should be available for pre-order on June 14th and you can stream the track Above The Influence on the band’s MySpace page to get a taste of what you’ll find on the release.

Gainesville’s Spanish Gamble has made a music video for their song There Is No God Tonight from their debut album It’s All Coming Down. You can head here to watch the video.

The band continues on their full US tour in support of their debut album for Paper + Plastick. Check out the month of dates still to come on the band’s Dying Scene Shows page.

Well, it looks like Senses Fail have returned to their Maryland studio where they’ll be recording their fourth full-length titled The Fire. The album is set to be released in the Fall on Vagrant Records.

Vocalist Buddy Nielsen had this to say about the new material,

“We’re very excited to be back in the studio and working on our new record which is going to be titled The Fire. The direction of the music is still developing but we have about 17 solid songs and based upon which ones turn out the best in the studio, they’ll determine the overall vibe of the record. This record is a reaction and a release of a whirlwind of emotions that came from fighting for what we love and dealing with change and growth both personally and creatively.”

Senses Fail’s last album, Life Is Not A Waiting Room, was released in 2008 on Vagrant.

Pop-punk act Washington Square Park have released the video for the song No Medication, the first single off their upcoming self-titled album due out June 22nd. Click here to watch.

Jersey punks Bigwig recently announced that they were returning from hiatus to work on new music and possibly begin touring again.  Perhaps to whet our appetites the band has added a “semi-unreleased” track to their MySpace page titled Waiting in 6/8.  The song was originally recorded as part of the Invitation To Tragedy sessions and released under the incorrect name “6 Over 8” on a label sampler comp.  It’s a good song and worth checking out for any Bigwig fans.

Bigwig’s last release, Reclamation, came out in 2006 on Fearless Records.

Indiana’s Murder By Death have announced summer tour dates for Europe and the United States. The European dates will see them headline the tour but upon returning stateside, the band will be opening for mewithoutYou. You can check the full dates here.

Progressive metal act The Human Abstract are set to enter the studio on July 1st to record their upcoming full length for Hopeless Records.

Last we wrote on the band, we mentioned that Travis Richter, formerly of From First To Last, and original guitarist/song writer A.J. Minnette both join the band. The band has been writing material for the new album, which is set to be released sometime in the fall. Guitarist Dean Herrera had this to say about the new material,

“These new songs are among the most difficult THA songs to play, but at the same time are more satisfying. Past songs sometimes felt more like exercises, these feel more well rounded with moments that are really fun to play.”

The band last released Midheaven in August of 2008. Keep checking back here at Dying Scene for more information as it becomes available
