BAPTISTS CONFIRM DETAILS OF THEIR SECOND ALBUM, BLOODMINES;

DUE FOR RELEASE ON SOUTHERN LORD IN SEPTEMBER

Vancouver’s Baptists have completed work on their second full length, following their 2013 debut Bushcraft. Entitled Bloodmines, the album was recorded at Godcity Studios in Salem, Massachusetts with with Kurt Ballou – and shall be released via Southern Lord in the UK/EU in September.
Like it’s predecessor, Bloodmines is a fast, exhilarating album of rage, oozing with genuine raw emotion and punk rock fury. Shards of feedback make way for fast powerful riffs and savage vocals, whilst explosive drumming pumps blood around the band’s beating heart.
On album tracks like “Vistas”, “Calling” and the title track, “Bloodmines”, the pace changes, revealing powerful, almost anthemic, jagged noise rock songs (much like influential San Diego post-hardcore band Drive Like Jehu) which go beyond the two minute mark. Discordant guitar melodies and abrasive vocal passages are elongated, still volatile but perhaps allowing for further contemplation of the band’s underlying message.
Not ones to rest on their laurels, Baptists have found new ways to express their rage and with Bloodmines they have created a memorable and commanding album.

Don’t forget you can still watch the Baptists Rain City session, recorded in their hometown recently, here you can sample some ferocious new songs

Baptists are part of the incredible billing for Southwest Terror Fest in Arizona which takes place in October. Read more here: https://www.facebook.com/southwestterrorfest
