Since its birth, underground
label Third I Rex
have debuted releases by some of the most incredible artists worldwide and the
time has come to unveil the name of one of their new acts.
Featuring musicians
from bands such as Sonance,
Wild Dogs Winter,
Executive Distraction
Tasks and with the mesmerising vocals of Eliza Gregory, who has
been performing in the past with Necro Deathmort, Ladyscraper, and Pleura, Third I Rex will release the debut full
length by ROW OF ASHES,”Let The Long Night Fade" which will
undoubtedly be a highlight from the UK’s extreme music scene this year!
“Let The Long Night Fade” shares a tense atmosphere which all vary
dramatically in dynamics. Owing as much to a Phil
Spectre-style wall of undulating, apocalyptic-noise channelled through stack amps, as to the emotional honesty of T.S.
Eliot’s “Wasteland”, it
could be the sonic equivalent of helplessly watching a storm develop, destroy
everything around you, and finally, assessing the devastation once it has
passed.
It would be usual to
expect a singular modus operandi from a band who are predominantly seasoned in
the heavier and less mainstream end of the musical spectrum, drawing from and
playing in Death Metal, Grind, Sludge and Hardcore outfits for the majority of
their careers (a rough roll call of projects you can see next to each member’s
name). Yet there’s more to RoA
album than the traditions attributed to these genres, as there are influences
called upon way outside of their musical origins making for a highly creative
milieu, and the results near-defy categorisation.
Recorded in Bristol by
Joe Garcia at the infamous "Joe's
Garage Studios" (Sonance,
Husk, Vails, Rose Kemp, and many
others), this eight tracks behemoth is going to bring fresh air to the European post-whatever scene! With the album set
to hit the streets in September as a co release with The Braves Records, keep taps on the
