STRIKE FIRST RECORDS is happy to welcome a new band to the family.  ARK OF COVENANT play hard hitting, undiluted hardcore, and will be releasing their debut EP with STRIKE FIRST RECORDS this spring.

Connecticut seems to be a breeding ground for enduring hardcore bands, and STRIKE FIRST RECORDS’s newest band ARK OF COVENANT has come out swinging with that infamous CT brand of intensity and drive. Musically the band’s influences span the heavy genres, but the NY and Boston hardcore scenes have the greatest impact on the band’s writing as evidenced by ARK OF COVENANT’s signature breakdown barrage and two-step beats.

ARK OF COVENANT’s debut EP Separation was recorded at Silver Bullet Studio (Shai Hulud, Wrench in the Works) and will be released on STRIKE FIRST RECORDS May 10, 2011.
