Set
for worldwide release on May 15th (not 4/17 as initially announced) 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.
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.
