Season of Mist are proud to announce the signing of REPLACIRE. The American technical metal prodigies from Boston, Massachusetts will release their sophomore album on the label.
Guitarist and founding member Eric Alper furthermore reveals the following about their forthcoming album: “Our goal was to be heavier, darker, and faster than on our debut. The new material has a more cerebral edge and different layers that reveal themselves only with multiple spins. Above all, our material must be completely compelling to us while writing, recording, and with every performance. We believe that bands operating in such a space create the most captivating music and that is exactly where we want to be.”
REPLACIRE are the brainchild of guitarist Eric Alper, who founded the band in 2010. The American tech metal prodigies from Boston, Massachusetts issued their debut self-released full-length ‘The Human Burden’ in 2012. The album’s unique and wide-ranging material was an ambitious statement of intent that quickly established the band as a must-follow heavy act in their corner of the US. REPLACIRE pushed the boundaries by touring extensively throughout the Northeast and supporting such heavy-weights as BEYOND CREATION, HATE ETERNAL, MISERY INDEX, ARTIFICIAL BRAIN among others.
CurrentlyREPLACIRE are preparing for the challenge to take the obvious next step and enter the international metal scene beyond the already heavily buzzing underground.
“REPLACIRE‘s ‘The Human Burden’ is what would have happened, if Chuck Schuldiner were still alive today and mixed up with the likes of OBSCURE and OPETH at the same time. It’s enjoyable technical metal that skips over all the flashy showmanship and dives gracefully into the otherwise murky waters of the modern progressive metal scene. In short, if you want everything you like about popular bands jammed into one 41-minute masterpiece, then you’re in the right place.” Metal Injection
“‘The Human Burden’ is an intricate technical death metal affair but gives a lot of room to OPETHian passages and subdued grooves. REPLACIRE have a complex songwriting format down pat, but not in a showy way; they use their skill to craft distinct songs. Truly one of the few bands I would feel comfortable calling progressive death metal.” No Clean Singing
