american's debut album 'Coping with Loss' out in August

Get ready to be tortured. american (spelled all lowercase) have finished recording their debut album, it will be called 'Coping with Loss', and will be released on August 19th 2014 on digital + limited edition cassette tape, via Sentient Ruin Laboratories. It can be pre-ordered now.

'Coping with Loss' is a scary album to say the least. It's extremely ruinous and death-ridden sonic and conceptual aesthetic is something that you will rarely see around these days, and it's pulverizing and annihilating splicing of black metal, noise, industrial, hardcore and grind is so sadistic and vile that it will leave a path of complete and total savagery and cruelty in it's wake. Gracing the release will be beautiful artwork crafted for the band by Kevin Gan Yuen of Viraloptic and Sutekh Hexen fame. Track listing and artwork for the digital release are as follows:

1. Ritual Suicide (04:13)
2. Decedents (03:23)
3. Retinere (02:32)
4. Lamb to Slaughter (04:24)
5. Pulse Beating Slowly (03:28)
6. Solace in the Silence (04:23)
7. Coping with Loss and the Insurmountable Guilt of Existing (17:54)

american are an enigma of sorts. Two obscure and reclusive individuals from Virgina living quite some hours drive apart who get together when they can to bust out the meanest, filthiest, evil, most vile and corrosive blackened hardcore you can think of. The band has thus far relied solely on their own means and efforts to record and release their music, and are an extremely evasive and shy entity that has completely shied away from live activity or any other kind of spotlight, and that is why we're absolutely flattered and fucking stoked that they have opened up to us and that they are down to work with us...
