Relapse Records is proud to announce the signing of Chicago, IL quintet Anatomy of Habit. Formed in October 2008 and featuring current and former members of BLOODYMINDED, Tortoise, Wolves in the Throne Room, Joan of Arc, Indian
and many other bands, the group play a haunting, psychedelically
terrifying blend of doom metal, post-punk, death-rock, noise-rock, and
shoegaze. Anatomy of Habit, composed of Theo Katsaounis (Percussion),
Will Lindsay (Guitar), John McEntire (Drums), Kenny Rasmussen (Bass),
Mark Solotroff (Vocals), have released an eponymous LP (2011) and EP
(2012) plus a CD compiling both vinyl only releases.

The band recorded their upcoming Relapse debut with renowned producer
Sanford Parker (Corrections House, Cough, YOB) at Soma Electronic Music
Studios in Chicago and it is expected to see a late 2014 release.
The members commented on signing to Relapse:
"Anatomy of Habit is thrilled to join the Relapse family, which
in many ways is already very close to us. The label has been a strong
supporter of the Chicago dark/heavy music scene that we are part of, and
several of our friends have records on the label, including Indian (who
we share our guitarist Will Lindsay with), Bloodiest, High Confessions,
Circle of Animals, Minsk, Locrian and Chris Connelly. Vocalist Mark
Solotroff has seen his noise releases (BLOODYMINDED, Intrinsic Action)
supported by Relapse mail-order over the years, he added synth tracks to
Brutal Truth's 2009 album, Evolution Through Revolution, and to
Indian's latest album, From all Purity, he has worked closely with
Locrian since their inception, he released a CD by former Relapse
artists Dead World, and he released the vinyl version of Chris
Connelly's Artificial Madness on his BloodLust! label. The band feels
like we are in very good hands and we appreciate the ongoing interest
and support that Relapse has shown us, practically since we formed in
2008. Working with Sanford Parker on our new album brought us that much
closer to the label, so it finally seemed like the right time to seal
the deal. We are excited to get the new record out into the world and
we are already writing material for our next album."
