Dutch Melodic Hardcorers ‘Athena’s Word’ release their jaw dropping debut EP
‘Lasting Legacy’ on Saturday 24th October. Pulling from the drive and
potency of While She Sleeps and Heights, and adding their own engaging
dynamics and footprint, the five-some have created an intriguing
amalgamation of modern hardcore.

Officially born during the Autumn of 2014 in Holland and featuring Erik
Voestermans (Vocals), Dennis Sjoers (Guitar), Tjerk Goselink (Bass), Jerry
Klein (Guitar), and Kasper Stap (Drums), Athena’s Word have been relentless
in their pursuit of progression and have carefully cultivated a sound
spurred on by intense rehearsals and whole-hearted writing sessions. With
glowing comparisons to Architects, Napoleon, and Blood Youth, the quintet
are now braced to take their music out to the masses.

The band have persistently toured throughout their homeland, and the riff
slingers are now set to span their wings out to mainland Europe this Winter
with a cluster of prominent dates on the horizon. Besides focusing on their
live reputation, Athena’s Word have also been holed up in the studio working
on their new EP ‘Lasting Legacy’. The record is a true marker in the sand,
kicking off with ‘Deserved Freedom’, which is stacked with breakneck
riffage, full frontal vocals and ample groove. The EP continues to entice
with the delivery of ‘Wolfpack’; this track is something special with its
poignant phrasing and earnest exaction. With five glorious slabs of melodic
metalcore, the EP is sure to propel the band to the frontline of the
European scene and beyond.
