News : In Trenches unveil new track, details of 10″ release

By on January 25, 2012

Press release:

On their sophomore release the Melbourne conglomerate that is In Trenches returns a reworked, more advanced and specifically intensified beast. Without diverting from their overall dissonance and rhythmically complex approach, Sol Obscura sees the band having ventured deeper into heavy dirges and progressive compositions and returned with stunning results. Giant walls of guitar noise reach into the human psyche,with output flowing over 27 minutes across five unique tracks. Creations beyond any typical metal and hardcore structures flourish in gritty beauty, the five piece channeling rage through a moving and ultimately forward-thinking release that bites back at the frustrations of modern existence.

Recorded and engineered at Three Phase Studios by Joel Taylor (The Abandonment) and mastered at The Basement Recording by Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me), Sol Obscura will soon be released online on March 5 with the limited edition 10” vinyl expected to arrive around the same time. With a pressing of 300 copies split into three colour variations, various pre-order packages are now available alongside streaming track ‘Hollow Heart’ at http://intrenches.bandcamp.com/

In Trenches is Ben Coyte on vocals, Kevin Cameron on guitar, Robert Allen on guitar and vocals, Adrian Horsman on drums, and Paul Milne on bass. Their debut album Relive and Regret was released in 2009 and is currently available for free through Bandcamp.
