Pray for Teeth Join the It’s a Trap! Family

We are very proud to announce that will be releasing a 7″ this summer for Pittsburgh’s very own Pray For Teeth; featuring members of Old Accusers, Failure To Fall & Means To An End. These individuals mix bone crushing riffs, melodic ambience and a hellishly loud live show to truly make their own blend of unique heaviness. Fans of Neurosis, Isis, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Cursed take note.

They will be self releasing their first EP this March. Keep your eyes peeled for that.
