Protest The Hero - To Release 'Pacific Myth' In November
Good news for Protest The Hero fans! The Canadians will release Pacific Myth via Razor & Tie on November 18th. The songs were previously recorded and released solely for members of the band's Pacific Myth subscription platform. Intended as a way to create and distribute new music for core fans, Pacific Myth resulted in six new tracks, each with correlating artwork, that are now being packaged together physically for the first time. The individually released tracks have been fully remixed and remastered to create the cohesive sound of Pacific Myth which runs a little over 35 minutes.
The six track record will be available in a variety of merch bundles available for preorder now. Pacific Myth will be available on 180 gram purple swirl vinyl, with a colored insert of all six covers from the original releases.
Tracklist:
01. Tidal
02. Ragged Tooth
03. Cold Water
04. Cataract
05. Harbinger
06. Caravan
07. Tidal [instrumental]
08. Ragged Tooth [instrumental]
09. Cold Water [instrumental]
10. Cataract [instrumental]
11. Harbinger [instrumental]
12. Caravan [instrumental]
The band explains: "Pacific Myth was purely an experiment. Normally, we take as much time as we need to write records - lots of which is spent procrastinating. With Pacific Myth, we didn't have that luxury - we promised to release 1 song per month on the 15th of each month for 6 months running. What we discovered in writing these tunes was the fact that strict deadlines (even if self-imposed) do not allow for over-thinking - something we are incredibly guilty of on our four existing full length albums. Surprisingly, the constricting time frame lead to some risks in writing we wouldn't have normally taken - or at least some risks we would normally have had the time to identify as 'too risky' and then re-worked until we felt safe again. For this reason, it's a totally 'go-with-your-gut' record and one we are extremely proud of."
In other news, you can buy, stream, and download the 6-part Doc-Series "Of Our Own Volition", which is a documentary series about the creation of their last full length album, Volition here.

LP only? Sad. But PTH are always are excellent, not a iota of doubt about it even if this release was kinda weird and got some backlash at the start. EDIT: Checked the link, the cd is indeed available.

The artworks are great, the music- not so much. Still, they have some interesting stuff in there which I hope they'll explore further in the future.
