Recorded with a 30-piece orchestra accompanying the core band of composer/guitarist Brandon Cruz, vocalist/bassist Christopher Cruz, guitarist Etienne Vazquez and drummer Danny Moncada, "Laurestine" is a breathtaking ride, a cinematic epic that tells a story of one dying man's ascent toward an afterlife.

Taking inspiration from film scores, black metal and the post-rock of bands like Envy and Mono, "Laurestine" is a supremely intense, confident musical statement from glorious start to finish. One continuous piece of music divided into seven chapters, the album traverses a full range of dynamics and emotions, from the fragile to the majestic to the devastating.

"Laurestine" was recorded by Dean Baltulonis (Lucero, Sick of It All) and by Chris Montgomery (Lily Allen, Mumford & Sons). It follows SO HIDEOUS' 2013 debut full-length, "Last Poem/First Light."

A record release show is set for October 24th at legendary DIY performance space ABC No Rio in the band's hometown of New York City. Info, here.
