R.I.P. to Release In the Wind on RidingEasy Records Dec. 9
Portland four-piece R.I.P. released their debut album, In the Wind (review here), through Totem Cat Records back in March, and as they embarked on a West Coast tour this past weekend, the news came in that the band has been picked up by the rightly-venerated RidingEasy Records for a new version of the outing. Solid company to keep on the part of the group all around, who notably tag themselves as “street doom” and endeavor to live up to that gritty an ethic, and who’ve shared the track “Black Leather” below in case anyone who hasn’t yet gotten a taste of In the Wind would like to get one.
From the PR wire:
R.I.P. sign to RidingEasy Records, share first track from forthcoming debut album
Speedy gutter-metal group kicks off tour of Western U.S.
Portland, OR quartet R.I.P. announce their signing to L.A. label RidingEasy Records to release their debut album In The Wind later this year.
Operating on the belief that heavy metal didn’t come from the forest or beam down from outer space, but rather that it crawled up out of the sewer and writhed to life in the grit and grime of the streets, the four rock ‘n’ roll freaks of R.I.P. call their sound “Street Doom” and spread the message with heavy touring across the United States. Obsessed with death and disgusted with the scene, they dragged their knuckles into the studio in 2016 and excavated a debut LP dedicated to fear and trembling, calling it In The Wind.
R.I.P. is defined by fast, regressive riffs, terrified vocals, live shows akin to near-death experiences, and steadfast adherence to the notion that doom isn’t how slow or de-tuned you can play, but the combination of fear, death, and leather. In The Wind is just the right level of down ‘n’ dirty guttural rock that cuts and chews with raw fury.
In The Wind will be available everywhere on LP, CD and download on December 9th, 2016 via RidingEasy Records.
