As
the split LP with Oakland's ALARIC
and Portland's ATRIARCH is just two
weeks from official release via 20 Buck Spin, today BrooklynVegan are streaming
the whole damn thing to gloomify your week RIGHT HERE.
Set
for worldwide release on May 15th, the split LP offers three new ALARIC tracks on the A-side and two
from ATRIARCH on the B-side, making
for nearly a half-hour of brand new material as both bands are diligently
crafting their next full-length releases for later this year. The two acts
recently completed a short pre-release tour, showcasing new material from the LP
to audiences up and down the West Coast. Orders for the split LP are being taken
now via 20 Buck Spin.
ALARIC
released their self-titled debut LP via 20 Buck Spin in October 2011 to
incredible critical acclaim worldwide, the band's infectious execution of
coalescing classic dark anarcho punk, new wave and Goth influences into their
own unique entity, both haunting and instantly memorable. Some called it the
album Amebix should have made. Zero Tolerance Magazine proclaimed without
hyperbole, "Morbid, threatening and obsidian... Album of the Year by a long
shot." Portland's ATRIARCH released
their debut LP Forever The End in
2011 via Seventh Rule. A harrowing amalgam of death rock, black metal and doom,
the band were quickly considered one to watch. Featuring past members of 20 Buck
Spin alumni Graves At Sea and Trees, the band is currently in the studio
recording their second LP and first for Profound Lore.
