Thine Finishes Work On New Album "The Dead City Blueprint"

Thine - the enigmatic U.K. dark rock/prog quintet - has completed work on a third studio album, "The Dead City Blueprint," which is due for release on Peaceville Records this coming April 28th, 2014.

Thine entered Academy Studios (Paradise Lost, Anathema, My Dying Bride) to record the follow-up to the 2002 album, "In Therapy." Commented the band:

"We've been toiling away for over a decade on shaping our latest monster. It has been such a long and grueling process with countless collapses and relapses and a traumatic voyage on numerous levels, but this opus is finally in the flesh so to speak. It is an encapsulation of all those glorious tragedies we all find ourselves overcoming along the way, and essentially for us, a welcome catalyst. Sometimes the best art comes only through being unexpectedly forced through the city's darkest avenues, so hope you'll find us there."

The following press release was also issued about the band:

"Having formed in 1995 in Yorkshire, UK with the core trio of Alan Gaunt, Paul Groundwell and Daniel Mullins (currently handling drum duties with My Dying Bride), Thine initially burst onto the scene in 1997 with the release of the atmospheric prog/doom 'Journeys' demo tape, with the debut album of boundary-warping metal noir, A Town Like This, appearing on Peaceville the following year.

"Thine's most accomplished work to date, In Therapy saw light of day a full four years later, and showcased a more sleek and immediate sound, bringing comparisons to other dark and emotional acts such as Katatonia and Anathema. The band line-up is completed by Dylan Rhodes on rhythm guitar and Richard Swift on bass."
