Corby sludge demonsRaging Speedhornhave finally announced the release date of their long awaited new album.
The record, titled"Lost Ritual", is set for a wide release on July 15[sup]th[/sup]2016. However, anyone who pledged on the record will receive their copy a week earlier on July 8[sup]th[/sup]2016.
Guitarist Jim Palmer had this to say on the album and its title"This album seems like a true reflection of everyone's input, a slice of all of us, if you will. It has those typical Speedhorn, pumping rock n roll moments, and some much darker ones too. Sound wise, it's got all the feedback, distortion, bad attitude and in-your-face antics you'd expect with a sound that should be more familiar to Speedhorn fans, but with a twist.
The title of the album, "Lost Ritual", came initially from the artwork. It just seemed to fit perfectly with the image. Subconsciously though, I think maybe the title fits even better than that, as the mojo in the band seems to be back. Speedhorn have finally returned. We are really excited for everyone to hear the new album; you won't be disappointed!"
