About The Dead Rabbitts:
The Dead Rabbitts are a metalcore super group from Phoenix, AZ. The band is comprised of
Craig Mabbitt (Escape the Fate), Alex Torres (Eyes Set to Kill, Greeley Estates, Alesana), TJ Bell (Escape the Fate, Motionless in White), and Chris Julian. The music is largely reminiscent of Mabbitt's previous groups
Blessthefall and The Word Alive with Mabbitt telling AltPress "this is what I wanted to do with The Word Alive." It's a heavier bombardment of sound than
Escape The Fate fans will be used to, but is still filled with plenty of hooks and harmonies.
After the release of their first EP Edge of Reality (produced by Caleb Shomo of Attack, Attack! and Beartooth) and a successful tour with Get Scared, The Dead Rabbitts signed with Tragic Hero Records. "It pretty much fell into place, says Mabbitt. "I called Escape The Fate's old manager. I said, 'If you're interested, why don't you manage this project?' He said, 'Cool. Well, I'm managing A Skylit Drive right now and they're on Tragic Hero. Show me some songs." So I did, and everybody loved them.
Mabbitt and The Dead Rabbitts immediately began work on a full-length album with Andrew Wade (A Day To Remember, Motionless in White) in Ocala, Florida. "Wade took a lot of the songs and fucking killed it, in a good way," says Mabbitt. "He took one of my least-favorite songs that we recorded, and now it's the whole band's favorite. It's crazy how much something so simple can completely change a song." The new album is entitled
Shapeshifter and is even heavier and faster than Edge of Reality. The record also features a sexually charged raucous tune with Ashley Costello of New Years Day.
The new album
Shapeshifter will be out via Tragic Hero on July 1st.
