Tau Cross

Tau Cross (Amebix, Voivod) to release their debut album in May

The time has come for international punk/metal supergroup Tau Cross to overwhelm the masses with a full song off its upcoming Relapse Records debut. The self-titled album's stirring opening track, 'Lazarus', has just been unveiled via Relapse's Soundcloud and Youtube sites.

The globe-spanning quartet previously posted a tantalizing album trailer, but 'Lazarus' is a fitting introduction to an album that stands as a genre-bending tour-de-force that seamlessly melds shades of Killing Joke, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, and vicious crust punk, as well as taking influence from its members' iconic other projects Amebix and Voivod.

Comprised of a pedigreed quartet of musicians including Amebix vocalist/bassist Rob "The Baron" Miller, Voivod drummer Michel "Away" Langevin, Misery guitarist Jon Misery, and War//Plague guitarist Andy Lefton,TAU CROSS formed in 2013 and recorded their debut album over several months in 2014 throughout three different countries.

The record is slated for a May 19th, 2015 release via Relapse Records, and will be available on digital, CD, and vinyl formats (black, silver limited to 250, green/orange splatter limited to 100).
