“All is Dust and I am Nothing” is the first full length LP from doomy blackened-hardcore band Slaves BC. The release marks the culmination of three years of writing and recording that tracks the band’s musical evolution from 2012 to 2015. The album is a concept album that is based upon a subject matter that is as bleak as the music, the book of Ecclesiastes.
“All is Dust and I Am Nothing” chronicles an exploration into the meaning of life as the band drew upon their many inuences to discover new sounds.
The new LP will be available on limited vinyl from Veritas Vinyl. The pre-order will be at www.veritasvinyl.net and will go live February 1st, 2016. The album will be released via bandcamp digitally and vinyl pre-orders will begin shipping on February 16th, 2016. Worldwide digital release will be March 17th, 2016.
Slaves BC hails from Pittsburgh, Pa. and was formed at the end of 2010 by 3 long time friends: Josh Thieler (Vocals/Drums), Sean Singer (Guitar/Vocals), and Rick van Newkirk (Guitar). They immediately began writing their first demo “This World Shall Pass Away”. Josh Thieler asked Jason Cantu (Bass) to join the band on the first day of recording in June of 2011. The demos were recorded at Bloodbot Studios with George Thieler. Slaves BC spent the next year writing and recording more material, and they did not start playing shows until the summer of 2012. Since then, they have shared the stage with bands such as Nachtmystium, Lord Mantis, Atlas Moth, Atriarch, and Once Nothing.
In October of 2012, Slaves BC went to Very Tight Recordings to record their self-released “we mean nothing.” EP. This EP showcased the blend of Slaves BC’s writing style with 3 genre bending songs.
In February of 2013, Slaves BC again entered Very Tight Recordings to record songs for the split 7’’ with Cousin Sleaze (NY).
In May 2014 Slaves BC released a split LP with Grace and Thieves titled “Cursed Breath//Innocent Blood”.
Last year Slaves BC released two digital tracks ‘The 144.000’ (Feb. 2015) & ‘Lucifer Bound’ (April 2015).
