Thine Launches The Dead City Blueprint Teaser Video on YouTube
Third studio album out May 13 in North America on Peaceville
Thine, the enigmatic UK dark rock/prog quintet, has posted a teaser video for its upcoming release The Dead City Blueprint on YouTube ~ check it out here.
The Dead City Blueprint, Thine’s third studio album, is due out in North America on May 13 via Peaceville Records. Pre-order it now through the Peaceville webstore.
The long overdue follow-up to the acclaimed 2002 album In Therapy, The Dead City Blueprint was recorded at the hallowed and legendary Academy Studios (Paradise Lost, Anathema, My Dying Bride). The 10-track offering sees the band build upon the sublime hooks and dark existential themes from prior works.
The band ~ Paul Groundwell – Lead Guitar, Alan Gaunt – Vocals, Dylan Rhodes – Guitar, Richard Swift – Bass Guitar, Dan Mullins – Drums ~ collectively stated that “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.”

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. The debut album of boundary-warping metal noir, A Town Like This, appeared 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 sleeker and more immediate sound, bringing comparisons to other dark and emotional acts including Katatonia and Anathema. The updated band line-up is completed by Dylan Rhodes on rhythm guitar and Richard Swift on bass.
