10,000 Years Sign to Ripple Music
I recently had occasion to hear the forthcoming album from 10,000 Years, and I’ll tell you two things about it. First, it’s the heaviest thing they’ve done, which is significant considering where the Swedish bashers left off two years ago on 2022’s III (review here), and two, I can understand why Ripple would get behind it. Not only does it bring an aggression-level to a charging heavy groove that is a standout in the sphere of the Californian imprint, but the ferocity has never sounded more the band’s own. The crash cymbal alone puts it on a new echelon of nasty.
So, good for the band, and good for the label, and good for you if you follow either. III was the counterintuitive title given to their second album, and the new one will depart from that methodology, which is probably a reasonable choice. There’s no audio publicly available as of yet, but this announcement isn’t even really the start of the promo cycle around the release — you know, when you get things like release dates, album art, tracklisting, the two streaming singles mentioned below, PR wire info on the record and what it’s about (usually, anyhow) and a bit more context — but the band confirmed the alliance on social media and that’s how these things get rolling these days. Baby steps toward crushing audio.
Here’s that first step, then:
Says 10,000 Years: “We are extremely excited to announce that we have signed a new record deal with none other than the worlds leading purveyor of underground heavy and riff worship, Ripple Music!
“New music will be coming your way sooner rather than later in the form of a new full-length album preceded by two singles.”
