Resistant Culture

is currently finishing tracking for their upcoming full length Sacred Hall of Mirrors (read more below) and planning their 2010 U.S. tour around the 4th Annual Apocalyptic Crust Fest in Chicago, IL.

They're also looking forward to the third pressing of their Welcome to Reality CD, and the first pressing of All One Struggle on clear vinyl, with a gatefold, and 24x36 full color poster. Both releases are scheduled to be released this June and are being funded by a co-op of international labels spanning the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and several European countries.

They've been performing regionally and nationally to promote the release of their latest full length CD entitled All One Struggle featuring Anthony Rezhawk (TERRORIZER) on vocals, gourds, and flutes. This album is a split release between the underground labels Seventh Generation Records (LA) and Shaman Records (Chicago).

The previous album Welcome to Reality featuring the late Jesse Pintado R.I.P. (NAPALM DEATH/TERRORIZER) was released on SOS Records and was distributed by Red Distribution which brought Resistant Culture's music to major online and retail stores but it was less distributed amongst the underground/diy circles.

All One Struggle was purposefully released in the underground to ensure that dedicated underground fans and distros would be able to buy, sell, and trade it extensively worldwide.

All One Struggle

All One Struggle is a powerful follow-up to Resistant Culture's debut release Welcome to Reality. The evolution of tribal grindcrust continues with this sonic landscape. The urgent lyrics, anthemic rebellious punk spirit, dark menacing grind, and metal brutality will empower your struggle to survive!!!

Sacred Hall of Mirrors

Tracking is almost done for Sacred Hall of Mirrors an album that seeks to share visual, sonic, and mythical insights into the changing of ages. In many spheres, the planet is shifting, with 2012 as an ancient and modern cosmological target point for great transformation.

Unlike the often negative prophecies of doomsday and apocalypse, the traditional indigenous visions of an opportunity for positive transformation such as those of the Maya, Hopi, and many others are dealt with in this musical and conceptual work of art. Apathy and nihilism are transcended not by faith or hope but by the encouragement of responsibility and the engagement in the struggle to survive.

Musically it combines classical guitar compositions with Resistant Culture's magic blend of blasts, d-beat and tribal grindcrust.

It sounds like landscapes of lush sonic forests with layers of Earthly organic crust. Picture yourself running out of a collapsing city to find solace once again in the trees.
