It draws from a 15-year archive of field recordings that capture the ordinary music of lived life. Rather than aspiring to aesthetic refinement or spiritual escape, TRU FOLK exists at street-level. It approaches sound as a vernacular practice that values what is common and humanmade. The album functions as a record of presence, tracing how people live, move, and endure through shared environments. In doing so, it extends the idea of folk music into the realm of daily listening, creating a document of survival and place.
REEKING AURA, a 5 piece death metal group made of seasoned veterans from the NY/NJ underground scene, returns in 2026 with their second album On the Promise of the Moon to be released on April 17th via Profound Lore Records. Tracked at OK Studios in Kinderhook, NY then mixed and mastered by the legendary Dan Swano, On the Promise of the Moon builds on the “Fires in Deep Frost” EP released in 2025 with a dark, melodic atmosphere that does not compromise their brutal, guttural NY roots.
Returning from the first album are guitarists Terrell Grannum (Thaetas), and Rick Habeeb (Grey Skies Fallen) as well as vocalist William Smith (Afterbirth). Drummer Hudson Barth and bassist TJ Coon (both also in Trog) round out the lineup and bring fresh blood to the band, with all members having contributed to the writing process.
The album also features contributions from guest vocalists Eston Browne (Vulnificus) and Jon Berg (The Path) as well as string arrangements by Ben Karas (Slaughtersun).
Chaircrusher has found his way back onto the main stage of the Triplicate roadhouse. He’s exhaling more beautifully bizarre and mesmerizing compositions for your listening pleasure with the same laid back yet experimental vigour that made last year’s 3Phase such a rewarding listen. Pick up Stars have Fallen right the heck now. It’s every bit as grandiose and fascinating to listen to as the heaviness of the title implies.
