In honor of RUE's anticipated new full-length, Thorns, being officially released today,
Pitchfork Media is hosting a brand new track from the pummeling album. Dropping
nearly six-and-a-half minutes of some of the most primal yet diversified riffage
from the outfit to date, "For Thousands Of Years" is a prime example of why RUE are a cult favorite within the doom
and sludge scenes. Check it out right here.
The first RUE full-length to hit the streets in
nearly eight years, Thorns is being
released by longtime band cohorts Shifty Records, responsible for unleashing
basically all of RUE's previous
releases to date. The record has gained massive praise from respected media
outlets in recent weeks, from virgins to the band's ultra-aggressive hymns, as
well as writers who have waited seven years since raging about the previous
album. Thorns is available for direct purchase at this
location.
Promos of
Thorns as well as interviews RUE are available to journalists
worldwide via the Earsplit Compound now. Please get in touch with all press
requests right away.
"... may occasionally
remind folks of Mastodon -- when the guys were knee-deep in sludge and regularly
shredding their vocal cords. And like their Georgia elders, the crusty Akron,
Ohio quartet's not afraid of cross-genre pollination..." -
Pitchfork
"Sonically, they’re
more bent on blending hardcore, heavy rock, doom and sludge than adhering to any
single tradition, and on Thorns, the resultant brew isn’t just aggressive; it’s
aggressively aggressive." - The Obelisk
"The musicianship,
songwriting, and production has raised the stakes on what a Rue album/song
should be..." - Hellride Music
"...Rue kicks out
jams which sound just at home on a stage next to Eyehategod or Iron Monkey
(R.I.P.) as it would performing at Gilman St. to a bunch of crusties." - Metal
Army America
"...one of the most
exciting sludge releases in recent years... A must have. 9.5/10." -
Doommantia
"Rue kicks the ass of
10,000 mules... Enough Said..." - Absolute Zero Media
