Cruz Del Sur Music proudly announces the long-awaited return of cult, seminal Northwestern metallers CHRISTIAN MISTRESS! The band’s first studio album in ten years, entitled "Children Of The Earth", blends traditional metal glory with pure, old-school conviction and is set for release on February 28th 2025 on CD, LP and in digital versions.
A video for the first single "Mythmaker" has been revealed at this location: https://youtu.be/xA17ye4Wiko
Recorded as a four-piece in the band's native Olympia, Washington on 4-track half-inch reel-to-reel at High Command Studio, "Children Of The Earth" features vocalist Christine Davis, guitarist Tim Diedrich, drummer Reuben Storey and second guitarist/bassist Jonny Wulf.
The album finds CHRISTIAN MISTRESS reaffirming their position as one of North America’s finest traditional metal bands - a unique combination of the old-school paired with energetic, dueling guitar work and the imitable vocals of Davis. Davis feels "Children O The Earth" is now the “line in the sand” that separates it from previous efforts. As a result, the album sounds like the band’s classic setup, yet the guitars and vocals have more in common this time around.
The "Children of the Earth" title ties to the thread of the lyrics throughout the rest of the songs. The idea for the album came from ancient writings found on a gold tablet or orphic inscription in an unmarked grave within a large necropolis in southern Italy. It is thought to be one of the oldest items of writing ever found.
