Texas doom-metal veterans LAS CRUCES are preparing to enter the studio to record their fourth full-length album. The as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2010's "Dusk" (which was released worldwide via Brainticket Records) will be made available later this year. The band will also re-release its entire catalog, including a vinyl edition of 1998's "Ringmaster", initially issued via Brainticket Records.

LAS CRUCES, which is now managed by Leigh Olson Management And Media Relations (headed up by the wife and personal manager of Jeff "Oly" Olson, original drummer of doom-metal legends TROUBLE), is seeking a suitable record-company home as well as scheduling a summer 2013 U.S. tour. Tour dates will be announced soon.

Guitarist George Trevino founded LAS CRUCES back in 1994 in San Antonio, Texas and has since made his mark across The Lone Star State and the American doom-metal scene. It's no wonder why Daniel Bukszpan, author of "The Encyclopedia Of Heavy Metal", acknowledges LAS CRUCES as "one of the genre's leading proponents."

LAS CRUCES' current lineup is as follows:

George Trevino - Guitar
Mando Tovar - Guitar
Jimmy Bell - Bass
Paul DeLeon - Drums/Vocals
