They live in Israel, right in the middle of things that we’ve only heard stories about. That stuff changes you, and impacts the kind of music you write. Their album is heavy, aggressive, powerful and has a ton of heart. I couldn’t be more proud to be associated with these guys.” comments Matt Day of STM.

About:
Armed with a new line up that’s more aggressive, inspired, dedicated and with years of playing both live and recorded death metal,Whorecore is now gearing up to unleash ‘Headless’ on Canadian label Spread The Metal Records as they plan to burn stages both in and out of Israel and destroy anything in their path.
Forming their brutality in early 2003, Whorecore has evolved over the years as one of Israel’s most respected death grinders and must see live metal acts. Releasing their debut CD entitled ‘Protection’ in 2006, which was recorded independently and then mixed by the all-mighty Scott Hull (Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Pig Destroyer) at Visceral Sound studios. Whorecore hit the road for their first European tour in April 2006 to share the stage with their childhood death metal hero’s Macabre in Germany, Denmark, Belgium and France along with supportingJungle Rot.
Before parting ways with first vocalist and founding member, Ariel Ron, the band was featured in Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen’s 2007 music documentary ‘Global Metal’, which added to their international recognition. With a need to fill the vocalist vacancy, the band recruited long time friend, Sven De Caluwe of Aborted to join in and on the same spirit of new energies and new found power. They realizedWhorecore was dead and it was time for They:Swarm to be founded.
With a new name and new EP entitled ‘The Mundane Corruption’ recorded at the Israeli ZAZA studios and Mastuldio Studios, again by the band and close friends with mixing done by Jacob Bredahl at Dead Rat Studios in Denmark. The band was able to share the stage with most of Israel’s heavy acts and numerous foreign bands such as Hatebreed, Aborted, Impaled Nazarene, Pungent stench, Entombed, Konkhra, Macabre, Jungle Rot, Leng Tche, Emeth, Ancient along with many more.
In 2009, there were more line-up changes to hit the band with the departure of founding member, lead guitarist, Eran Segal and vocalistSven De Caluwe leaving to focus on his main band Aborted. With this line-up change, the remaining members decided to go back to being ‘Whorecore’ and put an end to the ‘They:Swarm’ period, where they released the single ‘Whore Baby’ recorded and mixed again by the band and long time friend Liron Schaffer of ZAZA studios and was supported by was seen as a controversial music video for its certain depictions of ‘some whores and one fat baby’ as the band describes it.

ALL ELSE FAILS Announce New EP ‘Fucktropolis’; Reveal Artwork & Track Listing
(L-R) – Shane Tym – Drums | Barrett Klesko – Lead Vocals / Guitar | Seedy Mitchell – Bass/Backing Vocals | Mike Sands – Guitar (Photo Credit – Tyler J. Branston)
July 30th 2013 marks the date of All Else Fails’ heaviest and most diverse release,‘Fucktropolis’ will be unleashed via Suicidal Bride Records. Heavy with a dark beauty, this highly anticipated 5 track EP, the band’s 4th release will solidly place All Else Fails amongst the best in their genre.
Vocalist / guitarist Barrett Klesko comments:
“I’m proud to say that we have never made the same album twice, and this is no exception, easily our heaviest effort to date. This album is not only much heavier, but also much more sonically diverse. It’s extremely angry, but it has this grave, dark, beauty to it as well.”
Fucktropolis – Track Listing:
1. AntiMartyr
2. Better Left Undead
3. La Demencia Violenta
4. Obedience At The Altar of Sacrifice
5. A Most Unwanted Reprieve
Coming out of Edmonton Alberta Canada, All Else Fails is making a mark around the world for their aggressively dark brand of metal that is breaking the traditional ideals of their genre. Drawing comparisons to bands like As I Lay Dying, the band infuses their music with a variety of elements that includes experimental, Classical, synth lines, and spoken word sampling to accent a unique blend of heavy as hell screams and shiver inducing clean vocals.
A high energy live show that sets them apart from their peers has garnered them appearances on numerous high level festivals over the years, including Van’s Warped tour, Boonstock and opening spots for artists like Protest the Hero, Cancer Bats, Dayglo Abortions, 3 Inches of Blood, Fear Factory, Threat Signal, Decapitated, Suffocation, and Arise & Ruin.
The band’s last release received world wide praise from industry publications around the world. With the release of the band’s most recent music video “This Burden of Life” in the fall of 2012, and its addition to rotation on Canada’s Much Music, All Else Fails’ fan base expanded dramatically.
