Forming in 2008 in Tuscaloosa, AL, Gideon has been making a name for themselves by defying convention, creating their own distinct sound and never settling for anything that was just run of the mill or ordinary.

The band — drummer Jake Smelley (founding member), vocalist Daniel McWhorter, guitarist/vocalist Tyler Riley and bassist Caleb DeRusha keep stretching the boundaries of their sound to great acclaim and to increasing commercial success.

2011’s debut album, Costs, established them as powerhouse of the metalcore scene, but that’s something the band simultaneously pushed away from. Incorporating elements of melodic hardcore and hardcore punk into the fold of their songs but always with an underlying sense of positivity and defiance. Impressively prolific, the band released their next two full-lengths, Milestone and Calloused, on Facedown Records in 2012 and 2014 respectively, before signing to Equal Vision Records.
Their first album for EVR was 2017’s Cold, followed by Out Of Control in 2019, a record that deservedly saw the band’s profile rising steadily.
That brings us to Gideon’s 6th full-length studio album. Recorded/mixed/mastered by Randy Lebouef at Graphic Nature Audio, “MORE POWER. MORE PAIN.” is a brutally intense burst of violent noise that both nods to the band’s past musically and thematically but also establishes itself in its own context.
