Bismuth Sign to Prosthetic Records; Touring UK & Ireland in January

bismuth

Kudos to UK two-piece Bismuth on their signing to Prosthetic Records. I was fortunate enough to catch their set at the skate park at Roadburn this past April (review here), and in addition to being insanely jealous of bassist/vocalist Tanya Byrne‘s Khanate t-shirt, it was readily apparent from watching them play that they were onto something special in terms of sound and perspective. Their 2018 LP, The Slow Dying of the Great Barrier Reef (discussed here), certainly bore that out as well, and earlier this year, they followed that with a reissue of the 16-minute single “The Eternal Marshes,” which was originally released in 2012.

They’ll tour the UK and do two shows in Ireland in January alongside Body Void, and they’re reportedly writing new stuff, so maybe a later 2020 release? They’ll also be back at Roadburn in 2020, doing a commissioned project in collaboration with Vile Creature, who as fate would have it, are also signed to Prosthetic. Funny how these things work out sometimes, isn’t it?

BISMUTH SIGN TO PROSTHETIC RECORDS; ANNOUNCE TOUR DATES

Heavy-slow duo BISMUTH have announced their signing to Prosthetic Records, alongside confirmation of a run of tour dates for the new year.

The Nottingham, UK-based two-piece, consisting of Tanya Byrne (bass/ vocals) and Joe Rawlings (drums) released their latest album to great critical acclaim in 2018. The Slow Dying Of The Great Barrier Reef is a two track opus, with the title track clocking in at a hefty 32 minutes. The band has toured consistently with the likes of Primitive Man and Vile Creature as well as performing at festivals such as Roadburn and Supersonic.

Of their signing to the US label, Tanya comments:
“We are excited to share that we will working with Prosthetic Records and they will be releasing our music going forward. We are heading into the studio later next year to record album number three!”

E.J. Johantgen of Prosthetic Records adds: “There’s such a rich seam of heavy underground talent in the UK at the moment – and Bismuth are a band that caught our eye for their distinctiveness and passion. We’re really looking forward to working with Tanya and Joe, and supporting them as we see where this journey takes us.”

BISMUTH are currently writing material for their next album, which will be recorded in 2020 and released via Prosthetic. The band will perform at Roadburn 2020 alongside now-labelmates Vile Creature in a specially commissioned collaborative performance under the banner A Hymn Of Loss And Hope.
