NEWSLETTER: INTER ARMA ANNOUNCEMENT! NEW SHIRTS + DISTRO! TOUR DATES!

Life has been more hectic than normal around here at Gilead Media HQ. Just when I'm absolutely certain things will slow down and I'll fall into a lull where I have time to play video games, or even just do my laundry, everything goes nuts again. I shouldn't complain, really. It's better than not having anything to do!

I must thank, sincerely, all those who have ordered over the past couple months... or ever really. But these last couple months have been awesome, and I'm glad they're so much interest in the new records. Every order for Mutilation Rites - Empyrean LPs and Barghest/False split LPs has shipped out, so keep your eyes on your mailbox, and see the picture below of my mail day this past Saturday. I hope the postal worker at the desk enjoyed their Saturday workout as much as I did!

Farewell, records! Enjoy your new homes!


Now that those are all out the door it's full steam ahead on some exciting new things. Including the new Krallice Years Past Matter gatefold 180g 2LP and a new CD release that I'm announcing in this very email! Get to it!

I. INTER ARMA - DESTROYER CDEP ANNOUNCED


If there's one thing I can count on, without fail, it is that any record Andy Low emails me about is worth a serious listen. In 2008 it was Thou that Andy turned me on to, now in 2012 he has opened my eyes to Richmond, VA's INTER ARMA.

Inter Arma were a band whose name I had seen around for the last couple years, with releases on Forcefield and Mirror Universe, but had never actually gotten around to listening to. After that fateful email from a friend, I knew I had to get in touch to see about working with them in any way possible.

That brings us to DESTROYER. Originally released as a 12" by Toxic Assets records earlier in 2012--and coming soon on CD from Gilead Media--DESTROYER is a furious EP that showcases an astonishing new level in Inter Arma's songwriting. This is not just the next step for them, but an evolutionary leap beyond their previous material.  The record is surprisingly dynamic and their precision is impressive, particularly when considering the stylistic range they cover. Whether they're expounding on some dark, creepy interlude, berating you with a relentless riff, or laying down a thoroughly awesome guitar solo, Inter Arma hit the mark like seasoned metal veterans. And the drums, my goodness, the drums! Heavy, complimentary rhythms and blackened blast, all is absolutely crushing. On DESTROYER all of the elements come together to form truly memorable songs from a band that knows how to incorporate melody without dulling their abrasive sound.

More details on the release of DESTROYER CDEP will be available soon from Gilead Media. Visit gileadmedia.blogspot.com for updates.
