Formally known as Still\/Form they continue the sound of that group in new ways.\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003cp\u003eHISS is a 3-piece band from Portland, OR playing sludgy, heavy noise rock that began playing out in the last year.\u003cbr\u003eIf their sound is somewhat familiar to you, it's because HISS is the latest version of Robert Comitz (guitar\/vox) and Kirk Evans' (bass\/vox) 2 previous band, Still\/Form. They continue on as HISS, alongside drummer Chase Hall, who previously played with Comitz in Marriage + Cancer. HISS is comprised of the heaviest players of both bands.\u003cbr\u003eRetaining some of the disturbing and jarring guitar work reminiscent of Marriage + Cancer, as well as the sludgy heft of Still \/ Form, HISS delve more into driving heaviness, crushing rhythms, and riffy songs. Comitz' raspy vocals provide an unsettling layer that gives the music an added dose of unease. 'A Cheapened Crown' is a debut album that doesn't easily slip into categories like 'metal', 'post-hardcore' or even strictly 'noise rock'. They're just heavy and unsettling.\u003cbr\u003eHISS recorded the effort at LoRent Studio, had it mixed by Bob Cheek (Haunted Horses \/ Bronson Arm \/ Elephant Rifle etc), and finally mastered by Carl Saff. The band has put the time in to craft these songs and lay them to tape with attention to detail in the weight of the music, making it as heavy as can be without making the needle skip. HISS, 'A Cheapened Crown' will be released as a three-way effort between Diptirid Records, Hex Records, and the band on August 21st.\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hex Records\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alternative\/Punk\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33:12 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 08\/21\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 760137218777\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"HEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48652619579641,"sku":"MVD21877A","price":10.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/MVD21877A.jpg?v=1783626602","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/hiss-a-cheapened-crown-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
