ESCAPIST RECORDS

November 2009

After a little bit of a dormant period, Escapist Records is pushing forward with plans for new releases in 2010. But before we do that, a little update on what’s current:

CRUCIFIED

We’re offering a little sale on Crucified shirts in our webstore. You get an exclusive Crucified shirt and a copy of their split CD with No Truce for $7.00 (does not include shipping). Crucified is currently writing for their debut full-length for Double or Nothing Records. They’ll be touring the U.S. next Spring with those lovely Canadians in Withdrawal.

DEAD AND BURIED

The band’s return LP has been getting high praise since it’s release late last year. If you dig Merauder, Hatebreed, or Terror, it’s about time you see what all the fuss is about. We’ve got copies in our webstore, or you can grab it at iTunes. Also check out the shirts in the store.

THIS TIME NEXT YEAR

Escapist alumni This Time Next Year just released their debut full-length through Equal Vision Records. If you haven’t yet, go pick up a copy. It’s fantastic! They’ll be touring throughout the early part of 2010 in support of it… some awesome tours are about to be announced.

FUTURE PROJECTS

After some unfortunate delays, we’re moving forward with the vinyl release of This Time Next Year’s “A Place for You.” We’re working out the final details to get this project in motion. But we’re hoping to launch pre-order before the end of the year; we’re also hoping to put together some fun packages for the release. We’re also working on the details for a couple of new releases from some of the best up-and-coming hardcore bands I’ve heard in a long time. So be on the lookout for those announcements soon.
