MARES OF THRACE: New Track Streaming Via Pitchfork; First Video For New Album Nearing Completion

Still nearly three weeks from release, MARES OF THRACE’s sophomore LP, The Pilgrimage. is already pillaging print and online media, radio and more, the band’s dynamic, unique brutality scoring incredibly with journalists worldwide. The record took the #1 place on Earshot’s Canadian college radio Loud chart this week, and the band stole the main cover spot for the April issue of Beatroute Magazine.

And now Pitchfork is hosting an exclusive stream of “Act I: David Glimpses Bathsheba” the opening track to The Pilgrimage, which sets up the album with incredible force, showcasing the dexterity these two ladies are capable of as a simple duo. Check it out via an exclusive premiere RIGHT HERE.

The third track from the album, “The Gallwasp” was also recently unveiled via Brooklyn Vegan which you can check out AT THIS LOCATION.

The duo also recently filmed a video for the track “The Perpetrator” which will be released shortly as it’s in the final stages of completion now. Check out a short but scorching preview of the video here:

Calgary-based MARES OF THRACE will release The Pilgrimage on CD and digital download this April 24th, the first in their multi-album worldwide deal with Sonic Unyon Metal. An LP pressing will follow at a later date. The anticipated follow-up to their 2010-released The Moulting, The Pilgrimage sets a new bar for the duo, with nearly 43 minutes of material more creative, compelling and crushing than before. The Pilgrimage was recorded at Chicago’s Engine Studio with producer Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium, Pelican, YOB) and mastered by Collin Jordan at Boiler Room.

The band will take to the road across North America for a solid month in conjunction with the release of The Pilgrimage later this month.
