We are proud to announce HERALD, the new mini-EP from Lawrence, KS sludge/post-metal titans Drifter (feat. members of Migrator, Wrath and Ruin, EYES OF IOLITE).

Recorded in a single take at historic Liberty Hall, engineered by Aaron Miller and mixed/mastered by Eric Graves (Roman Numerals, Anakin, The Esoteric), DRIFTER blends dark ambiance, primal noise and rhythmic thunder with crescendos of massive riffs and gnarled melody. HERALD is an apocalyptic foreshadowing of things to come!

HERALD will be available soon worldwide in 239 territories on all major platforms with distribution exclusively through Sony Music / The Orchard.

"rife with heady noise and thundering venom...past big riff sludge and instead...slowly-building and fiercely erupting post-metal in the immersive style of Neurosis. Dark, eerie, beautiful." - Too Much Rock

See DRIFTER live:
Jun 1 - The Zoo Bar, Lincoln, NE (w/ Turquoise, Bull Face)
Jun 2 - Magoos Bar & Grill, Bedford Park, IL (w/ Graveslave, The Cambion, Gloryhole Guillotine, Thutch)
Jun 4 - The Sinkhole, Saint Louis, MO (w/ Enemy of Magic, Beyonder)

This is a great band in hard times deserving of any help they can get. Please give them a listen and support if you are able.

PLEASE SHARE / WE WERE ROBBED: ALL of our gear was stolen in Little Rock, AR on 11/15/14. Our borrowed (from Fister) trailer containing custom Omega cabs, Les Paul & Ibanez, guitars, Warwick bass, Premier drums/cymbals, hardware, pedals, expensive cables, all of our merch (clothing, 2XLPs 10"s, 7"s, cds) our cash box ($1,400) and Keith's lucky Morrissey Official pillow were stolen by thieves as we slept at the Holiday Inn hotel. Though MOST(not sure what) of it has been recovered, we are very much in the hole financially. We're having an incredibly hard time recovering from the costs of the cancelled shows due to this theft. Insurance doesn't take care of everything. Please help us by visiting our webstore. We're pre-selling new merch which will be shipped out within 4 weeks! http://www.beneathoblivion.info/

Wrath and Ruin

Bummer. Best wishes to Matt for a speedy recovery!

Hello friends,

We regret to inform you that we have to cancel our performance at the Jackpot on August 2nd with Sea of Bones, Amenaza and the Serpent Overlord.

This past Monday, Matt was involved in an accident at work that crushed his little finger. One half-inch of the end of the finger was severed, including the bone, about 95% of the way off. He has already had two ER visits resulting in surgeries to reattach the remainder of the digit.

Right now, things are looking as good as they can for Matt but there is still no word on if he will have permanent nerve or range-of-motion damage. Projected recovery time is 6 to 12 months right now.
Matt has finished tracking his parts for our next two (!) releases so the rest of the band will continue to work on the new recordings while Matt is recuperating.

We greatly appreciate your understanding and hope to see you again as soon as possible.

Dean, James, Jason, Matt, Troy
Wrath and Ruin
