RUE: New Track Streaming Via Pitchfork; Album Out Today


In honor of RUE's anticipated new full-length, Thorns, being officially released today, Pitchfork Media is hosting a brand new track from the pummeling album. Dropping nearly six-and-a-half minutes of some of the most primal yet diversified riffage from the outfit to date, "For Thousands Of Years" is a prime example of why RUE are a cult favorite within the doom and sludge scenes. Check it out right here.

Previously, the track "Brown" was released via The Obelisk, and is still streaminghere.

The first RUE full-length to hit the streets in nearly eight years, Thorns is being released by longtime band cohorts Shifty Records, responsible for unleashing basically all of RUE's previous releases to date. The record has gained massive praise from respected media outlets in recent weeks, from virgins to the band's ultra-aggressive hymns, as well as writers who have waited seven years since raging about the previous album. Thorns is available for direct purchase at this location.

Promos of Thorns as well as interviews RUE are available to journalists worldwide via the Earsplit Compound now. Please get in touch with all press requests right away.

RUE Premiere New Track; Street Date For New Album + Live Actions Confirmed

Akron, Ohio's sludge metal bastards RUE are preparing to unleash Thorns, their first full-length album in over seven years, via Shifty Records. A street date of November 15th now officially confirmed for the CD release, with a full-on vinyl pressing to follow in early 2012. Bearing over an hour of RUE's gritty, low-end debauchery, Thorns takes the band's sound in some new directions, the band having spent the last four years below the public radar honing their craft, cultivating influences and focusing wholly on crafting their most potent tunes to date.

Today, thanks to the fine folks manning The Obelisk, the first taste of what RUE brings forth onThorns is available for public molestation, in the form of a premiere of the track "Brown," streaming RIGHT HERE.

RUE will take their corruptive thunder to the streets in support of Thorns over the coming months, with several newly confirmed gigs locked down for the first half of November, including a record release show for the album on November 12th in Kent, Ohio.
