Artoffact Records announces the November 5th release of ‘Hindsight’, the new album by SPECTRES, and releases new single ‘Tell Me’. Founded in Vancouver in 2005 by vocalist Brian Gustavson, SPECTRES is commonly cited as one of the bands responsible for kicking off the renewed interest in the post-punk sound in Canada. The band spent the pandemic year off in the studio, fine tuning their craft and recording new tracks for Hindsight. The last track on the album and lead-off single, ‘Tell Me’, was covered by Stereogum upon release. Writer Ryan Leas noted that ‘Tell Me’ “finds [SPECTRES] moving a bit further up the [retro] timeline, delving into some deep NEW ORDER vibes. If that kind of thing works on you the way it works on me, then you will probably think ‘Tell Me’ is a banger.”

On September 17th, CRIMINAL will release their new album, ‘Sacrificio’, via Metal Blade Records. Anton Reisenegger (vocals / guitars) comments: “‘Live on your Knees’ is the opening track and also the first track Danilo and I wrote for the album. It’s probably one of the fastest and most brutal songs on the record. Its late 90s death metal and hardcore vibes punch you straight in the face and don’t let go. The lyrics are a message of freedom and independence in these times of turmoil and uncertainty. Ben Liepelt did a killer job with the lyric video, and we can’t wait for everyone to see / hear / feel it!”
