Spiritiste, from Baton Rouge, LA, has announced their debut album Excommunicationn Hymns, coming out as a joint release between Protagonist Music and Tor Johnson Records on Oct. 31.
The band tackles issues including political and environmental tensions -- traditional hardcore material -- but with an occult twist.
The first single is "Now I Am Become…," of which vocalist Jades notes, “This song is the most theatrical on the album with a clear, almost cinematic narrative. It features a character fueled by hatred, hell-bent on having its way. The character is an allegory for the careless damage we do to ourselves and others.”
See the band in New Orleans tonight.
