stroszek - a break in the day EP available for free download!

November 8, 2012

*Originally posted July 18, 2011

stroszek has decided to release a short EP called 'a break in the day' which is actually a re-recording of the 2009 EP 'A Wild Hunt' originall released on God is Myth Records. However, 'a break in the day' is not simply another re-recording or re-release of a previously sold out album. In fact, the album is given an entire new aura through the use of female vocals by 'Nat' who is also featured on the upcoming full-length studio album 'Sound Graveyard Bound' which will be released through Hypnotic Dirge Records in December 2010.
