This Routine is Hell – Repent. Repeat. 10 inch to be released on April 12 th.

Long in the making, but worth the wait! On April 12^th Shield Recordings will release This Routine is Hell’s Repent. Repeat. 6 brand new awesome This Routine is Hell songs pressed on a 10 inch vinyl.

Hailing from different parts of the Netherlands, This Routine is Hell have toured around Europe multiple times, resulting in them playing a huge amount of shows. This excessive touring is manifested in Repent. Repeat., a record that shows a band that is grown in multiple dimensions. The title expresses the tragedy of having to repent not only mans history, but also the perspective of its repetition. Musically the band has found their own balance between using battering rhythms and creating a fitting atmosphere. Converged in a band this is their vision on dealing with a complex and diverging world. 

Repent. Repeat. will be available for pre-order on March 12 th. There will be limited pre-order vinyl, special screen printed pre-order sleeves and a vinyl/ shirt bundle.
So make sure you’ll get your copy as soon as possible thru the Shield Recordings webstore: http://distro.shieldrecordings.com.

March 12 th is also the date that a dedicated website will be launched in support of the release of Repent. Repeat. On this website you can stream every song of Repent. Repeat. Check out:

Shield Recordings releases Sweet Empire’s

On September 1st Shield Recordings will release Sweet Empire’s first full length “This Season Needs Torches”. Sweet Empire is a well-known name in the Dutch punkrock scene for about three years now. They play punkrock in the vein of Descendents and Dag Nasty and are not afraid to speak about the not so pretty issues of our society. After releasing an EP on Black Death Records and a split CDr with Oliver John Ward they are now ready for the real deal. This Season needs Torches will be released as a white/blue or gold LP packed in a Gatefold sleeve and as a CD packed in a great looking digipack. 

Pre orders will be available in our webshop as of today! If you would like to listen to some songs first, you can go to: http://sweetempire.bandcamp.com/album/this-season-needs-torches.
