THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT's unique version of melodic hardcore delivers a perfect balance of heavy guitar riffing, blaring screams, shouts and excellent singing vocals. Their songs are filled up with creative melodic lead-guitars and vary from faster-paced tracks with heavy breakdowns to catchy mid-tempo-style tunes. THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT manage to strengthen this setup with great songwriting skills. This is for all you punk, hardcore, metal and emorock kids alike!
Started from the remains of perished underground acts PAINT THE TOWN RED (Join the Teamplayer / Thorp Records) and FLYSWATTER (Eat the Beat / Roadrunner) in early 2006, their musical ascendancy was already forshadowing. The bands genre challenging combination of hardcore and rock-music is equally touching as it is brutal. The bands plausible refrains and powerful melodies rotate with blasting walls of demading guitar-riffs and punchy drums. The vocalists violent screams and bittersweet singing is fraught with raw and uncanny powerful emotion. Adressing to all fans of heavy yet melodic music, THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT maintains a deep-rooted hardcore sensibility at any time.
The band about signing to Lifeforce Records:
“We are more than happy that we are given the chance to work with an amazing record label that is able to push this band to the next level. Signing to Lifeforce Records reinforces us that all the hard work and dedication was not in vain. We also feel honored to now be a part of such an incredible roster of both, promising new and well established bands from all over the world. We are so much looking forward to releasing our debut album Decisions in September.

THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT are not going down in history for standing still. In August 2006 the band released their debut EP entitled Munich Angst on Engineer Records which is about to be re-released through BASTARDIZED RECORDINGS in April 2007. The same month and label will give birth to THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENTs second release: Munich Valor. The new EP has been written and recorded in only 6 weeks. These five songs could not be more straight-forward and honest, qualities that are becoming more and more a rarity. Both EPs, which are also going to be released in a limited 2xCD-packaging, merge to a oneness that displays the whole lifecycle of a human being in the anonymity and isolation of our modern world.
September 2007 will see the release of THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT's first full length and Lifeforce Records debut “Decisions”.
