from the ashes of boysetsfire rise the casting out

nathan gray former singer of boysetsfire now leads a non political mellower band called the casting out. the only other boysetsfire former is joshua latshaw, an “honorary member” of the casting out.

the casting out have a new album called “go crazy! throw fireworks!” coming out, but they don’t have a date yet, they’ve said,

“[we] are currently courting labels and what not to put it out.”

on their myspace they have a really great song called, “these alterations” from the new album, and said that they will be putting possibly two more songs up before the album comes out.

i was and still am a huge fan of boysetsfire and the casting out is really tame in comparison, but not lacking in substance, just more subdued, keyboard heavy, and with different content, also no more screaming. nathan gray brings to the casting out the same raw emotion that he brought to boysetsfire. although with that new song “these alterations” nathan just might be showing us that he can still write those catchy, upbeat songs that we so loved from boysetsfire. we’ll see with the rest of the album if that’s the direction or if it is just that song.

stay tuned for the official release date of “go crazy! throw fireworks!”

the casting out also have a seven song ep availabe on itunes of their first songs.
