Las Cruces releases 'Cosmic Tears'

Look back into the distant reaches of doom's heady primordial days of the late 90s and early 2000s, and amid the many pillars of the style whose names you know well, you might also come across one that's less familiar, though no less majestic and impactful in what they created: LAS CRUCES. Formed in 1994 by George Trevino, this Texs doom powerhouse was like a lightning storm in the desert with their singular take on sludgy, melodic doom, boasting soaring vocals and bleak, earth-shaking riff power that was impossible to match.

Under the aegis of John Perez, guitarist of Solitude Aeturnus and owner of Brainticket Records, LAS CRUCES released three albums on the Arlington, TX based label: 'S.O.L.' (1996), the widely acclaimed 'Ringmaster' (1998) and 'Dusk' (2010). And yet, as significant and unforgettable as their incredible 'Ringmaster' album was, the band seemed to mostly disappear back into the earth. They would resurface here and there with an occasional release or announcement of a reformation, but ultimately, the promise of 'Ringmaster' was never seized... until now. New album 'Cosmic Tears' will be issued on June 3rd worldwide on various limited edition colored vinyl, classic vinyl, CD and digital through Ripple Music.
