Official press release:
Pittsburgh tech-metal hactivists Creation Is Crucifixion has reactivated with a double-LP and live appearance scheduled at King of the Monsters' 20th Anniversary Festival on Saturday, August 1st 2015.
Largely inactive for the past dozen years, CIC cut their teeth in the underground punk/hardcore circuits of the late 90's and early 00's. The band's technical approach to death metal, mixed with a staunchly subversive attitude and subject matter garnered Creation is Crucifixion a cult-following.
Long rumored for over a decade, Antenna Builder, the 'final' recording by Creation is Crucifixion's last active lineup is a 9-minute opus that brilliantly merges CIC's heavy music along with the noise passages the band became renown for. As one of the highest-fidelity recordings from the band's extensive output, the lineup's similarly oppressive Rerecorded Splits material is being joined on a 45rpm 12" vinyl record released by longtime cohorts Robotic Empire.
Accompanying the studio-recordings 12" will be a live LP from a classic CIC's set from on their last European tour, captured Geneva, Switzerland during May of the millennial year. These 15+ year recordings will both finally become available just in time for Creation is Crucifixion's reunion show at King of the Monster Records' massive 20th anniversary celebration in Mesa, AZ at the beginning of August. The band released material with the longrunning label back in the late 90's.
In a lengthy new interview with Vice's Noisey blog, CIC vocalist Nathan Martin details his transition from frontman of a hardcore metal band to tech company CEO:

Post CommentI'm surprised and happy this is being covered by Lambgoat. More people need to know this band.
Awesome. I don't give two shits about his goddamn tech company though.
I could see homeboy drooling all over my pipe
YO BITCHES, THIS IS YOUR BOY FRONZ. LIFE IS SHORT. TAKE THE CAKE BEFORE YOU FLAKE AT THE STAKE. CHANGES ARE WHAT COME OF MAY. TWOSOMES ARE THE BEST, EVEN WHEN YOU ARE ALONE. STAY SICKKKKK!!!!!
That's almost a kind of work ethic thing that I even try to do here at Deeplocal, the company I built. You didn't build that. Public roads made your success possible dontcha know. Therefore Obama needs his cut...
this is going to rule. Anybody else see them at hellfest 2k after they shut the show down? I think it was at Lost Nation in Syracuse that year. They played an outdoor show with car lights on them. maharaj played as well. I remember talking to them and the only way the drummer could play as fast as he could was when he was on booga sugar. I love this band
Band ruled. 'child as audience' wad rad. Booked em years ago in my tiny podunk town. Their approach to the 'scene' was incendiary and unique. Screw tha h8rs!
This is cool, too bad half of the scrub lords on here have no idea who this even is. I actually just pulled out their first 7inch the other day and gave it a listen too...kind of odd how this now happens. Especially seeing that I haven't listened to it in like 7-8 years.
I have a (x2?) cd in a box, it has a manual to hack a gba to play some sort of subversive content, whatever that is. This band kills, amazing diy ethic and played a basement show for 1/2 the door. At $3 a head- they were truly in it for the right reasons, played what they wanted / how and when they wanted. Hope they play some more shows.
