MINSK has completed work on their Relapse debut full-length entitled The Ritual Fires of Abandonment.

The Chicago / Peoria, IL quartet (bassist / vocalist Sanford Parker, drummer Anthony Couri, guitarist / vocalist Chris Bennett and vocalist / synth player Tim Mead) recorded The Ritual Fires of Abandonment at Parker's Volume Recording studio (PELICAN, UNEARTHLY TRANCE) in Chicago. The finished track listing for the hour long effort is as follows: “Embers”, “White Wings”, “Mescaline Sunrise”, “The Orphans of Piety”, “Circle of Ashes”, and “Ceremony Ek Stasis”.

The album art for The Ritual Fires of Abandonment, designed by artist Orion Landau (ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY, HIGH ON FIRE), can be previewed at this location: http://relapse.com/preview/RitualFiresRGB.jpg. The Ritual Fires of Abandonment is set for a February 20th, 2007 North American release date, February 26th internationally.

The new Minsk album, entitled The Ritual Fires of Abandonment, is done and scheduled for release on Relapse Records on Feb. 20, 2007. It is available for pre-orders now directly through the Relapse website. Expect some previews of the artwork and songs soon.

Also coming soon are both the Emetic Records compilation, For the Sick - A Tribute to Eyehategod, and the vinyl version of last year's Minsk release, Out of a Center Which is Neither Dead Nor Alive, on Original Sound Recordings. This debut full length was originally released on At A Loss Recordings and will now be presented as a gatefold double LP featuring fresh artwork from Tony Wyioming and Zedekron.

In the coming months, Minsk will also be teaming up with friends and label mates, Unearthly Trance, for a split 7" featuring both bands' versions of songs from the one and only Roky Erickson. This vinyl only offering will be released on Parasitic Records.
