Pristina set to release new album

Official press release: Pristina proudly announces the release of its first full-length album, The Drought (ov Salt and Sorrow), coming September 28 on Trendkill Recordings. Based in Connecticut, Pristina features ex-members of a diverse list of Northeast bands, including 100 Demons, Invocation Of Nehek, A Thousand Falling Skies, Born Under Saturn, and more. Revitalizing the best elements of the 90's metallic hardcore boom, Pristina lays down the gauntlet with a menacing sound that is equally dark, driving, and hypnotic. Revolver Magazine has described Pristina as "a chaotic surge of hardcore intimidation, atonal riff bombardment, and sound-collage psych ops." "Salt Water Cthulhu," a track from The Drought (ov Salt and Sorrow), can be heard now on the band's Myspace. Another highlight of The Drought (ov Salt and Sorrow) is a 23-minute title track which boasts guest appearances by Today Is The Day's Steve Austin, Bloodlet's Scott Angelacos, and Starkweather's Rennie Resmini. The Drought (ov Salt and Sorrow) was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Today Is The Day's Steve Austin (Converge, Deadguy) at Austin Enterprises.
