Relapse Records has announced the signing of Portland blackened death/doom quartet Atriarch. The band will enter the studio this June with producer Billy Anderson (Sleep, Eyehategod, Agalloch) to record a third full-length and Relapse debut. You can expect a new album in the Fall of 2014.

Formed in 2009, Atriarch has released two full-lengths including Forever The End in 2011 via Seventh Rule and Ritual Of Passing in 2012 via Profound Lore, plus a split with Alaric on 20 Buck Spin.

The group commented on the upcoming material: "We are constantly evolving as artists and we want to do something new with each release. Having said that it will always be dark and heavy and honestly reflect how we feel. Atriarch is a manifestation of our catharsis."

The band also states: "It is an honor to be joining the ranks of Relapse Records. We are truly privileged to be able to stand along side so many great acts as peers."
