presents...

Hello Hello!

It's time for the first Sheath pre-order of 2015! And it's pretty certain we couldn't have rang in the new year with more of a BANG! We proudly present... Of Great Sorrow, the sophomore LP from Seattle, WA's Heiress. The band is made of current & former members of such influential acts as Himsa, Undertow and Jough Dawn Baker, as well as current Sheath label-mates Dust Moth & Aeges. The band formed in 2006 and eventually self-released their self-titled debut EP in 2009. In 2010 they signed to Deathwish, Inc and released a split 7" with the almighty Narrows. They followed that up with the Naysayer 7", and then their monster full length debut Early Frost came out in early 2013.

Which brings us to the present tense, and their greatest achievement to date, Of Great Sorrow. A crushing, mammoth album of the most epic proportions, these 10 tracks spend just over 44 minutes pile-driving your face into oblivion... and you love it. Combining elements of post-metal & post-rock, with a dose of hardcore, the output is captivating. BUT, as you know, we're going to tell you all this because we obviously love the band and want you to buy the record, so go check them out for yourself! Our buds at Noisey premiered Hover from the album HERE.

And tonight, we're letting you guys have the first listen to another new track. This one is called Silent Hooves, and you can bang this badass mamma jamma RIGHT HERE!!

Tomorrow, our friends at No Clean Singing.com will be premiering yet another new track! That one will be Dismalist. So be sure to check it out tomorrow at No Clean Singing.com!!

So yeah! TWO new tunes!!

As far as packaging, this one came out absolutely killer! Heavy 20pt stock 5-color jackets with a metallic, brassy pantone that must be seen to be believed! The vinyl colors all came out pimpin' as well. Full pressing information can be found below...

OH, and did we mention that these are IN-HOUSE and shipping out immediately? Well, THEY ARE! So you'll receive your pre-order weeks before they're in stores.

Check out the release deetz...
