SECT announce new album ‘Plagues Upon Plagues’
SECT have announced a new album!
Titled Plagues Upon Plagues, the upcoming album from the straight edge metallic hardcore band is the follow-up to 2019’s Blood Of The Beasts, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Southern Lord Recordings.
Drums for the album were tracked with engineer Justin Phelps in Portland, OR at The Hallowed Halls. Guitars and bass were tracked at guitarist Scott’s [Crouse] home studio and Chris’ vocals were recorded at the old Holy Mountain Printing warehouse in Raleigh, NC – a makeshift vocal booth was set up in an aisle of shirts. Kurt Ballou at God City mixed the record.
Vocalist Chris Colohan describes the album as “a funeral rather than a trial”, the activism of previous releases fading to sorrow and grief. “Our scene has already been screaming about the threat of an ecological breaking point and the looming threat of recurrent fascism throughout our whole lives. When both come to pass at the same time and you get the exact world you fought never to see, there are no more alarm bells to ring. You’re just burying your dead. It’s mournful.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; New Low.
