Batillus: 2nd full length album 'Concrete Sustain' out in March

Brooklyn, New York avant-industrial doom conjurors Batillus (buh-TILL-us) today confirm March 19, 2013 as the official North American release date of their forthcoming new full-length. Titled 'Concrete Sustain', the follow-up to 2011's critically-lauded 'Furnace' long player, was recorded and mixed by Sanford Parker and Batillus at Sound Generation in Manhattan and Hypercube in Chicago and mastered by Collin Jordan at the Boiler Room.

With songs that range from relentless mid-tempo churns to subterranean crawls, Batillus cohere the extremes of heavy music into a surge of massive riffing, rolling over and descending on the listener with the force and intensity of a sudden storm. 'Concrete Sustain' delivers six unforgettable tracks of chilling industrial doom.

Track Listing:
1. Concrete
2. Cast
3. Beset
4. Mirrors
5. Rust
6. Thorns

Originally conceived in 2007 as an instrumental trio, the Batillus lineup expanded in 2009 to add vocals, synthesizer, and samples to the dynamic range of their music. The tight and focused songs on 'Concrete Sustain' reflect this expanded palette, which has had a profound effect on the band's writing process.

'Concrete Sustain' will be released via Seventh Rule Recordings.
