Solace: The Brink Preorders Available from Blues Funeral Recordings
New Jersey stalwarts-in-defiance-of-all-gods-and-all-sciences Solace — they of the broken bodies and suffering spirits — will release their first album in nine frickin’ years on Dec. 13. Titled The Brink, the 11-tracker is available now to preorder from Blues Funeral Recordings, which has decided to do us all a solid and get behind the release. Two vinyl versions available for the Tommy Southard in all of us — dude is a well-documented LP fiend; also beer — and a CD digipak if you prefer your discs of a smaller sort that can commune with lasers. You know I like me some lasers.
I was granted access to an early stream of the offering, and though there have been copious changes since their last time out, I assure you, this is still Solace. Their life-on-the-edge-of-oblivion — or, you know, a brink — style pulling together elements of thrash, hardcore, classic heavy and doom is unmistakable, and for the fact that they’ve turned over three-fifths of their lineup, they are and remain Solace. There is not and there never could be another to do what they do.
I’m gonna cross my fingers and hope to have a track premiere or some such with a review before the album is out, or maybe if I play my cards right I’ll get to give it the ol’ week-before-release-album-stream treatment, but until then, rest assured, your preorder investment will result in a Solace record. You couldn’t possibly call it anything else.
