SUMMARY:Defeater at Scala - Thursday 17th March 2016 - 7:30 pm until 11:00 
 pm 
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nBoston hardcore act Defeater released their fourth studio
  album\, Abandoned\, in August 2015 on Epitaph.\n\nUnlike most bands—and
  especially most hardcore bands— Defeater don’t write songs so much as
  they write histories\, and specifically the history of a never-named New 
 Jersey family whose already troubled lives disintegrate into torment\, ren
 dered all the more tragic for the depth and detail of singer Derek Archamb
 ault’s lyrics. Abandoned is the most relentlessly raw and uncompromising
  chapter so far\, powered by a renewed sense of artistic ambition and a pl
 ot twist no one expected.\n\nAbandoned was written and recorded in a welco
 me period of relief in Archambault’s life\, after he’d finally receive
 d a life-changing surgery that repaired severe hip damage he suffered in a
 n injury. Archambault’s surgery\, he says\, allowed him to redouble his 
 connection with his own writing\, leaving him clear to truly inhabit what 
 he calls his own Glass family—after the famous J.D. Salinger characters.
  The new album chronicles the story of a lapsed Catholic priest\, whose ba
 ttles in Europe during the war drag him first toward faith and then his ow
 n poisonous faithlessness.\n\n\n
