Northern California extreme metallers ALL SHALL PERISH have released their first new single in 15 years, "Be As Kings, Be As Gods." The track was produced by Zack Ohren of MACHINE HEAD and FALLUJAH and is available via Arson Theory, the new music company co-founded by frontman Hernan "Eddie" Hermida.

The band has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of its first new album since 2011. The campaign, hosted at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/allshallperish/all-shall-perish-new-album-first-record-in-15-years, aims to raise $75,000. Funds will be allocated as follows: $30,000 for recording (40%), $18,000 for videos (24%), $8,250 for promotion (11%), $7,000 for contingency (9%), $5,000 for mastering (7%), and $6,750 for platform fees (9%).

ALL SHALL PERISH is also embarking on "The Price Of Existence 20 Year Anniversary" tour, which begins September 4 in Fresno, California and concludes October 3 in San Jose, California. The tour celebrates the 20th anniversary of the band's second album, "The Price Of Existence," released in 2006 via Nuclear Blast. That album marked the debut of Hermida and lead guitarist Chris Storey.

The current touring lineup includes Hermida, guitarists Storey and Ben Orum, bassist Adrian Oropeza, and drummer Andrew Baird. The band confirmed the return of Hermida and Storey in October 2015, alongside founding members Matthew Kuykendall, Caysen Russo, and Orum. Original vocalist Craig Betit will participate in some capacity, though he declined a personal invitation to join.
