After outstanding releases on Seventh Rule and Witch Trial Records, At A Loss Recordings is pleased to present to you RAISE THE RED LANTERN's self-titled full-length. Recorded in their hometown by Sanford Parker (Minsk, Nachtmystium) the Chicagoan unit have recorded their most blistering release yet. A ripping, bombardment of filthy rock riffage, crunchy, metallic shred and distorted, low-end thunder, all topped with the utterly savage throat-shredding bellows.
Three members of RTRL also make up three-fourths of the almighty Emperor Custom Cabinets crew; the craftsmen who make those rad cabinets that Pelican, Trap Them, Russian Circles and more use. The band also share a member with forward-thinking, prog/jazz/metal greats Yakuza.
The album will be released on October 27th, and the band will be touring heavily well-into 2010.
Raise The Red Lantern tracklisting: 1. Ritual 2. Thick As Thieves 3. Awaken 4. Oracle 5. Deliver Us / Deliverance 6. No Man's Land 7. Wild Stallion 8. Seduction of Slumber
"These guys have the sort of no-bullshit ethic that punk and metal were built on, and I'm going to have to say it doesn't get much better than this. Think Harkonen playing out of High on Fire's equipment after listening to No Idea's catalog. Ugly, drunk, staggering, and pissed." - Lambgoat.com
