Bello & Shem are back as you’ve never seen them before, as this time, they’re full-length.
Not only is this their first full-length album but it’s also a concept album, telling the story of when they got trapped inside a pocket dimension by an evil unknown entity who forced them to write a horrorcore themed album in return for their freedom.
I’m sure this leaves you with many questions.
Questions like:
Did this really happen?
Why don’t I remember hearing about this?
Who the fuck are Bello & Shem?
These questions are all valid, but do not worry, all your questions will be answered on Friday 13th June (because how cool is that to release a horrorcore album it’s like they planned it wow), when this album drops in all its glory.
In the meantime, check out the first single "You Shouldn’t Have Sex When There’s A Serial Killer On The Loose" on all good streaming services OR follo ...more

In a widely reposted takedown, Rody Walker, lead vocalist of the acclaimed progressive metal band Protest the Hero, has publicly called out Brand New frontman Jesse Lacey on his ongoing history of allegations as a child groomer.
At a show earlier this month, Walker claimed Lacey was a "motherfucker [who] was grooming children" and that he "should not be afforded the stage he used [to do so]". This follows the announcement of Brand New's first tour dates since 2017 and is supported by a number of allegations by those claiming to have survived underage grooming and/or experiences sexual misconduct with Lacey in the early 00s.
Lacey's lyricism from the period contemporaneous with that referenced by the original allegations (leading up to 2003's Deja Entendu) has been noted for its emphasis on toxic power dynamics, abusive relationships and narcissism.
