UNEARTHLY TRANCE SIGN TO RELAPSE RECORDS

Relapse Records is proud to announce the signing of cult New York metal band UNEARTHLY TRANCE.

UNEARTHLY TRANCE (Ryan Lipynsky - guitar / vocals /noise, Jay Newman - bass /noise and Darren Verni - drums) are currently completing the writing process for what will become their third album and Relapse debut. Lipynsky comments, "We have titled this album "The Trident" to reflect it being our third album, the occult power behind our band which happens to be a three piece, our logo and lyrical direction. We've kicked into the next gear and we are ready to kill." The Trident is scheduled for a Spring 2006 release.

UNEARTHLY TRANCE has become a staple in the international underground scene on the strength of their devastating live shows. The band has played with bands as diverse as PELICAN, SUNN0))), MORBID ANGEL, COMETS ON FIRE and FLOOR.

UNEARTHLY TRANCE have previously released two full length albums on Lee Dorrian's (CATHEDRAL, NAPALM DEATH) Rise Above Records as well as material on Southern Lord.

"...This is art that's built from deep-seated misanthropy, the kind that takes a lifetime to perfect." - VICE Magazine

"The march of Templar Knights at twilight. Ritualistic subterranean drift. The decay of cathedrals over eons. Unearthly Trance, formed in 2000 and comprised of members Darren Verni, Rion Lipynsky, and Jay Newman, unleash a frostbitten, apocalyptic vision with their brand of grim hypnotic doom. Blackened sound waves, lethargic riffs, and dire proclamations drone from the void." - Crucial Blast
