Bent Sea retuns with a new album that released on Friday, Sept. 5, The Dormant Ruin, out on Give Praise Records.

The band was formed by multi-instrumentalist Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth) and released their debut on 11/11/11, also featuring Devin Townsend on bass and production and Verbeuren's Aborted bandmate Sven de Caluwé. The following year, Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury replaced Townsend, and the band has since released splits with Torture Division, Usurpress and To Dust.

Fast-forwarding a decade or so, the band is back.

“I’m extremely proud of these songs,” Verbeuren says. “Sven, Shane and I were able to reach new creative ground without sacrificing the urgency and spontaneity that BENT SEA thrives on”.
