About Cry Excess:
Italian metalcore outfit Cry Excess was formed in the late spring of 2011 by vocalist Jaxon Vex, his brother and guitarist Andrew Vex, and drummer Brian Nox before eventually adding guitarist Mark Agostini. During the summer of that year, the band began recording their debut full length entitled Blur in their hometown of Turin. The album would be self-released in September of 201, just a few weeks before the band departed on a ten day UK run of dates. During 2012 the band focused on taking their fusion of metalcore, death metal, nu-metal, and heavy groove on the road. During the year they hit Poland, Lithuania, Austria, Slovakia, and Russia while supporting such acts like Korn and Papa Roach.
In the first part of 2013, the band hit Russia again by supporting Funeral For A Friend before playing the Next Generation Festival that was headlined by Papa Roach. In September of 2013, the band went back into the studio to record what would eventually become The Deceit. The album would be released on This Is Core Records during November of 2013. The band would then tour in Ukraine and Russia in the follow months supporting the likes of Walls Of Jericho, Vanilla Sky, Miss May I, Heart Of A Coward, and Attila. In November of 2014, the band announced their signing with American label Luxor Records and is set to release Ambition Is The S***on January 6th, 2014.
