Candlelight Records has set a May 6 European release date for "False Prism", the full-length début from SADGIQACEA. Produced by Chris Grigg (WOE), the album's four mammoth songs will pummel listeners for close to 40 minutes. The CD follows the band's 2011 EP, "Submerged In Manichea" (Horror Pain Gore Death Productions), and two regarded split recordings with OMINOUS BLACK and GRASS (Anthropic).

Recorded early September 2012 at Gradwell House in Haddon Heights, New Jersey, "False Prism" features sparring use of overdubs; the band wishing to preserve the authentic recording quality of the live performance. Writing and performing as a duo, the unique band is committed to their craft. SADGIQACEA says, "The album has themes of inner struggle, spirituality, and our own reflections on the dualistic nature of the evil that we all see and experience in our lives."

"False Prism" track listing:

01. False Segments
02. False Cross
03. False Prism
04. True Darkness

Heavy Planet says, "While destroying everything in their path, Philadelphia-based SADGIQACEA creates an inspiring assault of devastation. Crushing riffs and ambient beauty swirl as the vocals bark… epic and full-on sludge." Fueled by the duo of Evan Schaefer (vocals/guitar) and Fred Grabosky (vocals/drums), the band has already proven themselves road savvy. Plans are already in order to return to the road for the album's springtime release.

"We are honoured to be working with Candlelight Records and ready to spread our music to masses with their support," says the band. "We are currently planning our second full American tour with our Philadelphia brothers HIVELORDS for summer 2013."

Formed in 2010, SADGIQACEA (pronounced sad-juh-kay-sha) forge a diverse sonic palette that has been likened at times to NEUROSIS, INTRONAUT, WEAKLING and KYLESA. Musically and artistically, the band draws from a melting pot of influences that together presents a lush yet tension-filled sound. They call it "music for our trodden minds and sodden souls."

SADGIQACEA has performed alongside 40 WATT SUN, FLOOR, COUGH, WEEDEATER, FIGHT AMP, MOSE GIGANTICUS, ASG, FUNERAL PYRE, HULL and countless others in their still-short history.
