Perhaps lotta people here in the old continent got to be a wee bit fed up with tons of by-the-number metalcore bands pestering the scene over the recent years (and I have a feel some press is hoping for this style to draw its last breaths very soon to give way to a new breed of heavy music mongers) but across the ocean, in the USA, it seems like the genre is still getting its due share of heads banging and crowds moshing, and new acts pop up on a daily rate. 
Orange County, Southern CA's HEARTIST is the moniker taken by a young fierce focused five-some that rushed into things getting as very first step signed with Roadrunner records and then releasing a debut six-song EP entitled "Nothing You Didn't Deserve" in 2012, a short year after band's inception.
Last Spring they flew over to Europe to join Killswitch Engage on their jaunt through our countries.
The tour hit Milan on April 25th and gotanerve-zine, being there to interview KE, jumped at the chance to catch up with Heartist's singer Bryce Beckley (band's line up is completed by Tim Koch-Guitar, Robby Devito-Guitar, Matt Marquez-Drums and Evan Ranallo-Bass) to talk about their first self-produced recording, the tour Heartist were currently on and some other things which will help those not in the know getting a bit in the band.
Recent posts on FB state that the guys are presently in the House of Loud studio with producer David Bendeth (Paramore, Of Mice & Men, Bring Me The Horizon) to record their debut full-length.
Meanwhile, listen to this audio interview.
