MISCREANCE Recover a Lost Fragment of Time on Reminiscence

Alongside the announcement, the band share "Scalp Ceremony"—the album's lead single—accompanied by an official music video created by Tulpa Studio in Ferrara, Italy. Shot in the creepy, cultish handcam style that underground tape collectors will feel at home with, the video matches the song's blood-thirsty pace and murderous energy. "No one ever even sees it coming", growls drummer Andrea Feltrin. For their final sacrifice, MISCREANCE bang the long-haired heads of their captive audience with a flurry of bongos.

While their tech-thrash riffs and progressive tempo shifts will remind battle-tested heshers of the golden years, Reminiscence isn't an attempt to recall metal's glory days. Opener "Trait d'Union" doesn't begin with blast beats but with funky, bouncing, tribal percussion one associates with a time long before the dawn of Charvel guitars. "We still play old-school tech-thrash", assures guitarist Andrea Granauro. While faithful to both Atheist and Dark Angel, each sharp and fast turn the band take during "Scalp Ceremony" warps the genre's signposts until they're unrecognizable.

Reminiscence was produced, mixed and mastered by Marino De Angeli. Recording took place at Bridge Produzioni Audio in Susegana, Italy; mixing and mastering at Majestic Studio in Silea, Italy. Artwork is by Mona Shiraz, with photography by Jacopo Abbruscato.
