The compilation includes tracks by S U R V I V E, Marie Davidson, Majeure, and more.

Featuring members of The Gaslight Anthem and Bottomfeeder, New Jersey's Dead Swords will release their debut in 2019.

Comprised of Alex Rosamilia (The Gaslight Anthem) and Corey Perez (Bottomfeeder/Let Me Run), the shoegave band will release the 11-song Ender on Human Blood Records on March 8.

The band previously released two EPs, Skeletons and Broken Souls.

“When I started Dead Swords, I really wanted to focus on letting the music be able to breathe,” Rosamilia says of the project. “I have always been a fan of bands like Pink Floyd, My Bloody Valentine, or The Cure; bands that write songs that sprawl about over the course of seven-t0-eight minutes. ‘Ender’, as well as the rest of the record, is my homage to those bands and those songs that take you for a 10-minute trip without you realizing how long you've been sat there."

Curious fans can listen to the song "Ender" on Spotify now.
