Mouth of the Architect set to release new album

Official press release: This year marks the ten year anniversary of the undeniably spine-crushing band Mouth of the Architect. While many have anticipated the apocalypse in 2012, MOTA has been accurately predicting and creating the soundtrack for such a disaster since 2003. There is perhaps no better way to celebrate such a milestone than by releasing a new face melting full-length record, and MOTA has never failed in that regard. Today MOTA has unveiled the album artwork and tracklisting for Dawning, due out on June 25th via Translation Loss Records. Mouth of the Architect - Dawning cover In 2004 they released "Time and Withering" with great success and followed up with a split CD alongside another Dayton, OH based band, Kenoma. After releasing the critically acclaimed "The Ties That Blind" in 2006 and the beautifully devastating "Quietly" in 2008, the band underwent about a million member changes before releasing "The Violence Beneath" EP in 2010. The current lineup consists of drummer Dave Mann, guitarists and vocalists Steve Brooks and Kevin Schindel, keyboardist and vocalist Jason Watkins, and bassist Evan Danielson. The band plans to celebrate its 'most glorious birthday' by releasing a psychedelic-tinged sludge-rock masterpiece. Remaining under the long time label support of Translation Loss Records, their new album Dawning bludgeons its way to the top of their long catalog of doom rock greatness. These dudes last proved their heavy-metallic weight in gold when they made it through a volcanic eruption to play the Roadburn Festival on their 2010 European tour in support of "The Violence Beneath." This year these well-worn road veterans plan on bringing their incredibly loud and extremely hairy brand of post-metal to a venue near you in support of Dawning. Of course, you have to live in the northern hemisphere to get your chance to witness this rock 'n roll spectacle. In support of Dawning Mouth of the Architect will be touring this summer with Intronaut and Scale the Summit. The Tour stars June 5th in Seattle, WA and runs through July 6th in Hollywood, CA. A complete list of dates can be found here. Dawning track lisiting: 1. Lullabye 2. It Swarms 3. Sharpen Your Eyes 4. How Will This End 5. Patterns 6. The Other Son

The better question is: Why do news websites allow people to comment, when all people do is embarass themselves with snide remarks? You only bring down your own intelligence when with these actions. If you can't find something to like about a band then move along. Go bitch to your cooler than thou hipster scene friends and let the rest of us openly discuss the topic of interest. If you want to criticize a band, show some respect for yourself and do so intelligently.

^ oh no, lambgoat police!

ninjainabikersvest 4/14/2013 5:35:08 PM

I like MOTA and I'm very excited for this album. Conversely, this article reads like a teenage girl wrote it.

anonymous 4/16/2013 1:10:26 PM

People who like sick music are stoked.
