RELAPSE MYSTERY SIGNING UNVEILED

A couple of weeks ago we told you that Relapse was slowly unveiling a new sign via The Deciblog, first by by posting some album art, then by giving away an entire mp3. Here’s what I wrote about the little scheme at the time:

“…the band has to either be someone really prominent, or feature at least one member who’s really prominent – if it turns out that we’re just talking about some group from Bumfuck, then this whole thing is gonna feel like a massive letdown.”

Well, as it turns out, it is a massive letdown.

The band in question has now been revealed as West Philly trio Mose Giganticus, who I’ve never heard of, and don’t feature any members I’ve ever heard of. And their music doesn’t really strike me as anything particularly special.

Still, I guess I should wait to hear an entire album before passing judgment. Their Relapse debut, Gift Horse, comes out July 20. In the meantime, you should know that the band apparently tours in a converted shuttle bus that runs on recycled vegetable oil, so at least they’re cooler than Sepultura.
