Background

Lament formed in 1993 under the name Beheaded. [7] The original genre was along the lines of grindcore and brutal death metal. [8] In 1996, the band switched their name to Lament after the death of Drummer Arturo Guzman. [8] Soon after changing names, the band went to a music festival, where the band met Steve Rowe of Mortification. [8] In 1997, the band recorded their debut album Tears of a Leper. The artwork was apparently controversial, so the band had to use an alternative cover. [9] In 1998, the band was dropped by Rowe Productions and lost their original vocalist Marcos Pérez. [8] The band released their third album, Breathless in 2001 through Kingdom. Eight years later, the band released Renaissance, through Lament Records, label that the band formed as a way to independently release their material. Four years later, the band released Left Behind in 2013. [2] In 2017, it was announced that Lament, alongside Dehumanize, had signed to Vision of God Records and were reissuing Tears of a Leper and were working on new material. [10]

Lament Records has signed additional bands and they have distribution through Vision of God Records in the United States. [11]

Bloodlined Calligraphy is an American metalcore band, infusing hardcore and thrash metal. Hailing from Ypsilanti, Michigan, the band started making music in 1996 under the name Friction. In 1999, the band changed its name to Bloodlined Calligraphy and the band's lineup consisted of Matt Carter (drums), Matt Fleming, Ryan Hampton (guitar), Eric Cargile, and Josh Colvin (guitar). The band signed to Selah Records and, in 2002, they released their first full-length album, Say Hi to the Bad Guy. In 2003, Matt Fleming decided to leave the band to focus on other things and the band conducted a nationwide search for their next vocalist, with Matt Fleming having a large say in who should replace him as the band's frontman. The band asked Michigan native Ally French, who was fronting a touring metalcore band in Ohio at the time, to audition. Ally had sung clean vocals alongside Matt Fleming for several of Bloodlined Calligraphy's live shows. The band appointed Ally as their vocalist and played their first live shows together in late 2003. During the band's second show with Ally at the front, the group caught the eyes and ears of Jason Dunn, owner of Los Angeles-based record labels Facedown Records and Strike First Records. The group became part of Strike First Records and released an EP in 2004 titled The Beginning of the End, which was recorded by Mike Hasty, guitarist of another female-fronted, Michigan-based hardcore band, Walls of Jericho. Shortly after the album's release, guitarist Josh Colvin was replaced by Shawn Williams. After months of touring to promote the EP, Jason Dunn signed the band to its primary label, Facedown Records. On April 26, 2005, the group released their second full-length album called, They Want You Silent, which helped catapult the group into the top tier of female-fronted rock bands and led to several successful tours with notable acts such as Kittie, The Acacia Strain, [[Caliban]], and more. In 2006, the group went back into the studio to record their fourth studio album, Ypsilanti, which was released by Facedown Records on September 19, 2006. Shortly after the album's release, the group's drummer/founding member Matt Carter stepped down after the loss of his father and was replaced by Joshua Badura. Tragically, the band lost another founding member when their bass player, Eric Cargile, unexpectedly passed away on April 20, 2010. The band officially disbanded in 2010 until the band played a show on April 19, 2014. In 2017, the band once again reunited to play at Facedown Fest 2017. The band has been active again since 2014 and has no plans of slowing down as the group prepares to be direct support for metalcore band, It Dies Today in 2024 and rumors of a new album circulating.
