From the band:
We are super stoked to announce we are releasing our debut album early. We couldn’t wait anymore and The Claim is out today!
It’s a work of the passion of many people, not just us as a band. We are forever grateful to Mihail Slavov for his amazing recording and mixing work in Wind City Studio, and also for killing it with his guest vocals on Gallows. We want to thank Georgi Ivanov’s work on the artwork for the album. We were blown away by Marius Costache’s mastering the recorded material at Studio148. Massive thanks for Abi and her amazing vocal part in Promises Unkept. Huge respect to Marto from Burialsite who recorded his awesome vocal part in XVX despite being ill.
We want to thank every one of you who moshed with us, jumped on and off the stage, screamed with us, and pushed us to do this.
The Claim is available everywhere digitally and you can get it on CD or tape on our shows.
Play it loud, share it with everyone. Forever straight edge, forever antifascist!
