Creation Is Crucifixion "Antenna Builder | The Soldering Iron Gives Us Control"
Pittsburgh, PA tech-metal hactivists Creation Is Crucifixion emulate Lazarus with a 2xLP collecting their last recordings along with an impressive live set. The long-rumored "Antenna Builder" track, the "final" recording by Creation Is Crucifixion's last active lineup is a nine-minute opus that brilliantly merges their heavy, technical metal along with the noise passages the band became known for. As one of the highest-fidelity recordings from the band's extensive output, the lineup's similarly oppressive re-recorded splits material fleshes out the first 12" in this gatefold, 2xLP package. Accompanying the studio recordings 12" is a live LP from a classic Creation Is Crucifixion set from on their last European tour, captured live in Geneva during May of the millennial year. These more than 15-year-old recordings showcase tracks from across the band's catalog of material, with a higher clarity than some of their raw studio recordings. Specifically mastered for vinyl by James Plotkin, the "Antenna Builder | The Soldering Iron Gives Us Control" 2xLP comes housed in a stark black and white gatefold jacket with gold ink overlaid. 2xLP includes download code.
