FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 31, 2024
SEYMOUR, IN — Guatemala Summer Records is proud to announce the official signing of Hand of the Wicked, a rising Christian metalcore/hard rock band with roots in both Seymour, Indiana and São Paulo, Brazil. The signing was finalized on October 31, 2024, and marks the beginning of a partnership rooted in a heavy sound and passionate faith.
Blending punishing breakdowns, soaring choruses, and deeply spiritual themes, Hand of the Wicked brings a raw, urgent voice to the metalcore scene. Their sound draws influence from both American and international metal, metalcore, and hard rock traditions, creating something aggressive yet melodic.
The band is currently in the studio working on their debut full-length album, slated for release in Summer 2025 through Guatemala Summer Records.
“This is a band that doesn’t pull any punches,” said a representative from Guatemala Summer Records. “Their energy is electrifying, their message is sincere, and their sound will hit you like a freight train. We’re honored to welcome Hand of the Wicked to the family and help bring their vision to life.”
With members split between two continents, Hand of the Wicked exemplifies the global heartbeat of Guatemala Summer Records: passionate, collaborative, and boundary-breaking.
More information about the album, singles, and other plans will be announced in early 2025.
🎧 Coming soon to Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms
