From the album's first note through its last, The Bearer barrels forth, possessed by the same fiery spirit that once burned inside the likes of Converge and Botch.

Drummer Colton Siegmund is one of that rare breed of singing drummers – to which Code Orange's Jami Morgan also belongs – who can scream with throat-scouring conviction whilst pounding the drums like a boss.

Hailing from Austin, Texas, the trio shares two members with fellow Austin punks Drip-Fed.

In a city rocked by the transformative effects of capitalism, The Bearer brings a humanistic message to the table. "The main message is that every human being deserves respect, to be cared for and represented," says Siegmund.

Chained to a Tree was engineered and mixed by Andrew Hernandez (Mammoth Grinder, This Will Destroy You). The artwork was created by Alexandre Goulet (All Out War, Despised Icon).

“The Bearer should make fans of Botch and Coalesce go nuts…”
–No Echo

“The Bearer is a ripping, metallic hardcore band from Austin, TX, with a drummer who can scream his head off. The band’s sound is loud, chaotic, and very intense, but is anything but one-dimensional…"
–New Noise

"Mastodon’s Brann Dailor, Zoetrope’s Barry Stern, Exciter’s Dan Beehler, Code Orange’s Jami Morgan: all drummers who also handle(d) lead vocals. Not an easy task, especially when the BPMs get frantic. The Bearer‘s drummer, Colton Siegmund, can relate. He’s the voice of this metallic hardcore trio from Austin, TX... a band that pushes his drum and vocal chops equally with its frisky tempos and aggressive attack."
