Electric Age Sign to Argonauta; Sleep of the Silent King Due in Feb.
Louisiana heavy rockers Electric Age have signed to Argonauta Records for the release of their debut full-length, Sleep of the Silent King, in Feb. 2017. The burl-bringing dudely trio offer straightforward riffing and grooves as heard and seen in their recent video for “Robes of Grey,” and though I’m not quite clear on what the storyline actually is, it would seem that the track in question feeds into an overarching narrative spanning the album. At least that’s the vibe I get from the announcement below, which came courtesy of Argonauta.
Over the last couple years, but especially in 2016, you’ve probably seen me post a lot about Argonauta releases. The Italian imprint continues to toil diligently to bring an international array of heavy to bear and that’s something I respect deeply. It’s looking like their 2017 will have a full slate as well, and Electric Age will be an early part of it. One more for the ongoing list. Preorders are up now.

Argonauta Records New signing: ELECTRIC AGE
Hailing from Louisiana, Electric Age, since forming in 2013, have taken the craft of their sludge and southern metal contemporaries, and incorporated the dynamics of more traditional metal, along with folk, doom and straightforward rock, to create the epic tale of their debut album “Sleep of the Silent King”. This southern Louisiana three piece outfit are equally at ease finding their groove within traditional song structures to extended cerebral doom riffing, while never forsaking the simple art of storytelling in the process.
The band says, “We are excited to be a part of the Argonauta family, and find solace in being with a label that truly respects the genre and shares in the love of this style of music and all it can offer.”
In their relatively short career of bringing their live performance to the people they have had the honor to share the stage with, among many others, sludge metal pioneers Crowbar, and thrash metal pioneers Anthrax.
“Sleep of the Silent King”, mixed and mastered by acclaimed producer Christopher “Zeuss” Harris, is their debut album, and is a conceptual and mythological journey through the threshold of time and consciousness, into the heart of darkness and divinity, through death and redemption, and finally into the inexorable void.
Argonauta has allowed them to tell their story to you, all there is left to do… is listen. “Sleep of the Silent King” will be available in CD from the 27th of February 2017, preorders run here: http://bit.ly/2i5O65f.
