From the band’s official newsletter:
“Today is the day. Our debut album “Sacred Cargo” is now yours, and we hope you love it. Buy it on vinyl or CD, or purchase high quality digital files on Bandcamp. Merchandise is also available on our website.
The album is also available across all streaming platforms, although is delayed on Spotify in North America (we expect this to be resolved within a day).“
We are also premiering the haunting video for the song “The New Forgotten Ones,” directed by Vesa Ranta. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
“I’d also like to extend a heartfelt deep well of gratitude to Andrea Chiodetti, who reached out to me at one of the most intense moments of the pandemic lockdown with a desire to focus our attention on something creative; Egan O’Rourke who elevated the music with his contributions on bass and vocals, as well as traveling across the country to engineer the drum sessions; and to all of the immensely talented vocalists and musicians who agreed to participate and champion thus humble project out of nothing. Thank you.
