BraveWords.com has received the following press release:

Germany's Ván Records is proud to announce the unleashing of Foulest Semen Of A Sheltered Elite, the third full-length from THE RUINS OF BEVERAST, to North American audiences this spring. The album was released in Europe mid-September 2009, and immediately became the most critically-acclaimed TROB album to date. Now with the help of Ván countrymen AFM Records' North American distribution, TROB's devouring work will be properly distributed to North American audiences.

The Ruins Of Beverast is the solo project of Alexander von Meilenwald, known as the ultra-fast, maniacally technical drummer of famed German horde NAGELFAR, as well as being a live and/or session member of TRUPPENSTURM, ABUSUS, VERDUNKELN and other kult acts. The band has constantly astounded audiences on every release - including 2004's Unlock The Shrine, 2006's Rain Upon The Impure, a split EP with URFAUST and a 4-way split LP with DEATHGATE ARKANUM, NIHIL NOCTURNE and ANTI - each album showcasing more forward-thinking progression and more creatively constructed aggression than the last.

Meilenwald fully self-constructs every element of TROB, taking the veracity and creativity of his brutal percussion, axemanship and synth-laden atmospheres to otherworldly levels on Foulest Semen Of A Sheltered Elite, and pushing the album to the limits with a massive play time of nearly an hour and 20 minutes! The end result is far more involved and intriguing than a simple black metal release; the thunderous, explosive, unnerving, epic and brilliantly frightening album is easily one of the most flooring and unique releases in recent metal history.
