Cinereous Incarnate.

Our third LP will be called Cinereous Incarnate - set to be released on June 8 2018. 

The full length, 43 min LP, is slated for release through I, Voidhanger Records (CD), Daymare Recordings (Japanse enhanced CD), Sentient Ruin Laboratories (US LP/tape/digital), Vendetta Records (EU LP), and Tartarus Records (EU tape). Track listing:

1. Nether
2. Cinereous
3. Ashen Reign
4. Wings of Annihilation
5. Incarnate
6. Devouring Night
7. Fear of God (Amebix cover - Japanese CD bonus track only)

Recorded and mixed at Earhammer by Greg Wilkinson (drums captured at Nu-Tone Recording by Ben Hirschfield), mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and with contributing soundscapes from Kevin Gan Yuen of Sutekh Hexen and SF industrial act Only Now. Artwork also by Kevin Gan Yuen. All versions will be meticulously crafted: the LP will come with a single pocket heavy gatefold jacket with black inner flood, spot UV, and pantone offset black and metallic silver graphics. Vinyl colors will be in 3 configurations: black (limited), ashen grey (standard), and milky white with black swirls (standard). The CD and tape will be a mini gatefold and cardstock folding case respectively, and will feature the same graphic features as the LP (spot UV graphics, pantone black and metallic offset print on the booklets). Pre-orders for all formats and track premieres imminent. Checkout the trailer by Chariot of Black Moth below.

Famine Fest MMXVII.

On Friday February 10 2017 we'll be for the first time ever in Portland OR to perform at day one of Famine Fext MMXVII. We'll be playing many important extreme/underground bands like Revenge, Ritual Necromancy, and Funebrarum, as well as our Bay Area friends Necrot and Gloam - really happy to share a bill with them again. See you there.

 
 

Atrament.

Two of us are also now active in a new Oakland-based band called Atrament: Mattia on Vocals again and James on guitar. They are also the ones who started the project. Our friends Chad Galey (from Necrot, Rude, Mortuous, Caffa, and ex-Vastum) and Sam are on drums and bass respectively. Atrament play reckless D-Beat with strong crust, black, and death metal influences coming from bands like Darkthrone, Doom, Discharge, Dismember, etc. The band plays live from time to time (only locally up until now) and has released a debut demo tape in late 2015, while their debut album was recently released on vinyl (early March 2016) on Broken Limbs Recordings (US) and Argento Records (EU), while a cassette version was released by Sentient Ruin. You can get their stuff on Bandcamp. Enjoy.
