Skeletal Lightning Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Ostraca is the next phase of a band that was once known as Kilgore Trout. Hailing from the so-called screamo capitol of the world, Richmond, VA., "Deathless" may be the best thing you've ever heard. No, we're not kidding. Honing in the sounds of the historic screamo bands before them, such as Usurp Synapse, CTTS, and City of Caterpillar, Ostraca take those strong influences and dial them up to 10, giving us what many would call the greatest screamo album of our generation. "Deathless" is available on Deluxe Edition Black w/ Screen Printed Cover (/50), Black (/200) and Maroon (/300) vinyl. Each copy comes with a full color jacket and two-sided lyrics insert. Tapes are also available. Pre-Order now and receive an instant full-album download at checkout. PLUS, all pre-orders will receive a Gift Card good for 15% off your next purchase in the Skeletal Lightning Store. "Arguably one of the most refined and impressive screamo albums in recent memory... Deathless combines rapid, near-grind shredding, metallic and foreboding melodies, impeccably placed softer passages, and, with their final track, an enveloping wall of noise that threatens to swallow unwary listeners. Amidst it all, Deathless maintains a relentlessly dark and worn tone, at times subjecting the listener to such violent catharsis that feels equal parts beautiful and oppressive." - Funeral Sounds Co-release with Middle Man Records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurazz Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Not a huge screamo fan, but this album managed to make my top 10 this year. Will pick up a deluxe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzielaskowski Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Well, I'm a huge screamo fan, but thought that it died years ago. Most of the emo-crap is not even close to be called screamo.This one on the contrary blew my shoes off. You better get this kid or cry later.Middle-Man still has deluxe. Edit. Deluxe is gone.

hzielaskowski Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Bump for this band. You better cancel your Deafheaven preorder and get this LP. You will save some $ and this one will still be probably sooner. BTW when preorders will start to ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
