Toronto heavy rock band BIBLICAL has signed with NYC independent label Tee Pee Records. The group will release its sophomore LP, The City That Always Sleeps, advanced as "a deep dive into sludgy psych rock that explores spaces, textures and tones beyond the outer limits", this September.
"We've been fans of Tee Pee for ages," says bassist / vocalist Nick Sewell. "The label has put out so many awesome records, it really is the perfect fit and we can't wait to share our new LP. It's got all things that you want in a BIBLICAL record: 'Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue.'"
Formed in 2010, BIBLICAL is a hard rock band with psych undertones that creates catchy, heavy songs that unfold rather surprisingly. In addition to Sewell, the quartet features in its ranks guitar / synth player Andrew Scott (both Scott and Sewell played with Death From Above drummer Sebastien Grainger in his Sebastien Grainger & The Mountains project), lead guitarist Matt Mclaren and drummer Jay Anderson (also of COMET CONTROL). Motivation for the band's name is rooted in the "Ghostbusters" quote from Peter Venkman: "This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions!"
Inspired by greats such as CAN, MC5 and Blue Öyster Cult, the sound of BIBLICAL has been lauded as "a Red Sea-parting surge of narcotic guitar noise" by Pitchfork and "deliciously smothering" by Canadian national magazine Exclaim!. Before and since the 2014 release of its full-length debut, Monsoon Season, BIBLICAL has toured and / or rocked stages alongside DFA1979, Eagles of Death Metal, Fucked Up, Kyuss Lives! and Red Fang among many more.
