'Too Much Is Never Enough' is a Southern-fried beatdown destined to ignite mosh pits from coast-to-coast, thanks to the thunderously chunky breakdowns with extra grit and girth. Overall, the song is a pummelling blast of vicious, metal-tinged hardcore, all acerbic guitars and chugging riffs over which vocalist Daniel McWhorter viciously spits, "Nothing was given to me, that sh*t was earned. The hard way." It's a line that sums up not just the song, but also much of the album as well - and the underlying positivity that underpins all of it.

"We're done holding our tongues," says guitarist/vocalist Tyler Riley about the track.

Bassist Caleb DeRusha weighs in about the album as a whole, saying, "This record is every side of Gideon forged into one. The title says it all - MORE POWER. MORE PAIN."

Indeed, 'Too Much Is Never Enough' is just the start of Gideon's next chapter. A self-empowering call to arms, it continues - much like the rest of the record - to redefine who, what and why Gideon are. The result is the most uncompromising reason for their existence to date.

Gideon will return to the UK and Europe in 2023, supporting The Amity Affliction alongside Fit For A King and SeeYouSpaceCowboy.

UK dates:

Jan 15: London Electric Ballroom
Jan 16: Manchester O2 Ritz
Jan 17: Birmingham O2 Institute
Jan 18: Bristol SWX

Since forming in 2008 in Tuscaloosa, AL, Gideon have been making a name for themselves by defying convention, creating their own distinct sound and never settling for anything that was just run of the mill or ordinary. Rather, the band have stretched the boundaries of their sound to great acclaim and to increasing commercial success. 2011's debut album, Costs, established them as powerhouse of the metalcore scene, but that's something Gideon simultaneously pushed away from it, incorporating elements of melodic hardcore and hardcore punk into the fold of their songs, but always with an underlying sense of positivity and defiance. Impressively prolific, the band released their next two full-lengths, Milestone and Calloused, on Facedown Records in 2012 and 2014 respectively, before signing to Equal Vision Records.

Their first album for EVR was 2017's Cold, followed by Out Of Control in 2019, a record that deservedly saw the band's profile rising steadily. And then, of course, the pandemic hit. All that hard work and dedication, the progress they'd made vanished in an instant. In fact, Gideon were mid-tour on that album cycle when touring came grinding to a halt and forced the band to return home to Alabama, frustrated and disillusioned with a situation that - like most touring bands - thought might mean the end of what they do. Thankfully, it didn't, which brings us to Gideon's sixth studio album.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Randy Lebouef at Graphic Nature Audio, MORE POWER. MORE PAIN. is a brutally intense burst of violent noise that both nods to the band's past, musically and thematically, but also establishes itself in its own context.

"We had to walk through fire and break down walls to get to this chapter," says Smelley. "We're done explaining why we are the way we are. This album is for the misunderstood, the dreamers, the broken, the damned, the ones that refuse to fall in line. When everything and everyone tells you to give up, your mind can take you to dark places. We came to realize that there was strength in that. Instead of letting it consume us, we fought like hell."

Gideon are:

Daniel McWhorter - vocals
Tyler Riley - guitar/vocals
Caleb DeRusha - bass
Jake Smelley - drums
