Today we would like to present to you our latest collaboration – the North American CD & cassette release for Basalt Shrine’s 2022 record, »From Fiery Tongues«.

Hailing from the Philippines, Basalt Shrine is a doom/post-metal act that was conceived during the height of the pandemic. The band began when Bobby Legaspi of the doom/sludge acts Surrogate Prey and Malicious Birth joined the Vivo Brothers – Ronnel and Ronaldo of various musical entities (Dagtum, The Insektlife Cycle, Abanglupa, Imperial Airwaves), in their on-going post-metal project Human Tusk, Hallowed Trunks. They initially worked on Human Tusk, Hallowed Trunks pre-recorded materials but later decided to start from scratch and exchange new demos, thus forming what is now known as Basalt Shrine. Bobby recruited Rallye Ibanez (Surrogate Prey, Ex-Religious Nightmare, Isvarah) to do bass and vocal duties. Due to the strict health protocols and series of community quarantine lockdowns, the band wrote and recorded their debut album remotely.

Rallye and Bobby brought the grit and blackness to the sound of Basalt Shrine while the Vivo Brothers, with their musical ordnance- from psychedelic rock, post-punk, dissonant death metal, hardcore punk- graced the band’s music with a magnitude of experimentative/explorative textures and layers. Their debut album, »From Fiery Tongues«, is an attempt to translate meditative tonalities into beautifully heavy sounds and vibrations. »From Fiery Tongues« will be available August 5th, 2022 through Electric Talon Records on the CD & cassette medium, exclusively for the North & South American market. In addition to this, Electric Talon Records is handling digital distribution worldwide.
