Pittsburgh tech-metal hactivists Creation Is Crucifixion emulate Lazarus with a double-LP collecting their last recordings along with an impressive live set. The “final” recording by the band’s last active lineup, the long-rumored nine-minute opus “Antenna Builder” brilliantly merges their heavy technical metal along with the noise passages for which they are reknowned. The lineup’s similarly oppressive Rerecorded Splits tracks, some of the highest-fidelity recordings from the band’s extensive output, fleshes out the first disc in this gatefold double-LP package. Accompanying the studio material is a live LP from a classic set recorded on the last Creation Is Crucifixion European tour, captured live in Geneva during May of the millennial year. These fifteen-year-old recordings showcase tracks from across the band’s catalog, with a higher clarity than some of their raw studio recordings. Specifically mastered for vinyl by James Plotkin, the Antenna Builder + Rerecorded Splits / Live in Geneva 2xLP comes housed in a stark black-and-white gatefold jacket with gold ink overlaid. A digital download of the full release is included.
