Dark Operative presents an intimately caustic split album from INTEGRITY and BLEACH EVERYTHING
paying homage to Septic Death and Rocket From The Crypt. In celebration
of Septic Death and Rocket From The Crypt's enduring legacies, this
album sees release on the only day that makes sense: Halloween. Today.
SDK x RFTCC (Septic Death Karaoke x Rocket From The Crypt Covers)
is a tribute to a 1992 split 2x7" between Septic Death and Rocket from
the Crypt, which was limited to 100 copies, released on Pushead's
Bacteria Sour label. Here, INTEGRITY and BLEACH EVERYTHING offer their own modern takes on both bands in the form of a split LP.
SDK x RFTCC is out now, with Dark Operative handling the vinyl via the label webshop HEREand BLEACH EVERYTHING's digital HERE. Relapse Records is handling INTEGRITY's digital HERE.
On this recording, INTEGRITY is Dwid Hellion and Dom Romeo. With SDK (Septic Death Karaoke), INTEGRITY
utilizes some original Septic Death source material and layers their
own vocal and guitar overdubs atop five of the band's classics,
including "Sweat Of A Nightmare," "Change," "Dream Silent," "Poison
Mask," and "Thaw (Cold World)." While previous SDK releases exist
with some of these songs, Dwid Hellion and Domenic Romeo completely
re-recorded and overhauled entirely new 2019 takes on all material while
offering up "Sweat Of A Nightmare" for the very first time, the track
featuring guest lead guitar by Darkest Prince. The overdubs for SDK were recorded by Dwid Hellion and Dom Romeo, mixed by Tim De Gieter at Much Luv Studios, and mastered by Arthur Rizk, and the INTEGRITY side of the split completed with artwork by Dwid Hellion.
BLEACH EVERYTHING is vocalist Brent Eyestone, guitarist Graham Scala, bassist Kelly Posadas, and drummer Ryan Parrish. On RFTCC (Rocket From The Crypt Covers), BLEACH EVERYTHING
erects monolithic tributes to Rocket From The Crypt entirely from
scratch, adding speed to "Middle," multi-part harmonies and guest
vocalists (Riley Gale of Power Trip, Mike Kennerty of The All-American
Rejects) to "On A Rope," psychedelia to "Sturdy Wrists," a deconstructed
meditation on "I'm Not Invisible" in the form of a passage titled
"Vital Signs," and the album's conclusion: a heavy, slowed-down take on
"I'm Not Invisible" in all its glory, capped off by an outro from
Christopher Royal King of This Will Destroy You. The drums, bass, and
guitars were recorded by Ricky Olson at The Ward. Brent Eyestone's
vocals were recorded by himself at Tracking, Riley Gale's vocals
recorded by JoJo Centineo in Dallas, Mike Kennerty's vocals were
recorded by himself at The Cereal Box, Christopher Royal King's tracks
were recorded by himself in Los Angeles, and "Vital Signs" was recorded
by Graham Scala at Gnostic Front Sound. The tracks were mixed by Ricky
Olson at The Ward and mastered by Arthur Rizk in Philadelphia, and the BLEACH EVERYTHING side completed with illustrations by Matt Stikker, and art direction and layout by Brent Eyestone.
