AMEBIX Announce New Album Title, Release Date
January 21, 2011, 13 years ago
AMEBIX have spent the last two years working towards the release of their first collection of all-new material since 1987.
On September 20th, upon the cusp of the autumnal Equinox, the new Amebix album entitled Sonic Mass, will be released.
The album was recorded at Rock Cottage in Derbyshire and The Lodge Studios in Northampton, England, and engineered, mixed and produced by drummer Roy Mayorga. Sonic Mass will be released digitally and on CD by Alternative Tentacles, with a deluxe 12" vinyl edition from Profane Existence.
Formed in the late seventies and hailed as the godfathers of crust punk and extreme metal, Amebix had long lain dormant until the addition of drummer Roy Mayorga (NAUSEA, CRISIS, SOULFLY, STONE SOUR), a DVD release, and a string of 2009 reunion shows reignited the flame. The band's resurrection first resulted in the release of 2010's Redux EP, which features live and rerecorded versions of several of the band's classics, including 'Winter', 'Chain Reaction' and the immortal battle cry, 'Arise'. The songs were remixed by Mayorga and Redux is available from Profane Existence on CD, 12" LP and digitally.
Amebix is:
Rob Miller: vocals/bass
Stig C Miller: guitars
Roy Mayorga: drums/keyboards/mandolin
