TRACE AMOUNT + White Ring


TRACE AMOUNT: industrial visionary announces June tour with White Ring and Bestial Mouths

With debut full-length album Anti Body Language released in April, NYC-based industrial visionary Trace Amount announces his first run of shows supporting the release, a tour of the Eastern US with White Ring and Bestial Mouths.

White Ring, Bestial Mouths, Trace Amount:
June 1 - Milwaukee, WI @ X Ray Arcade
June 2 - Chicago, IL @ Reggies
June 3 - Indianapolis, IN @ Black Circle
June 4 - Cleveland, OH @ No Class
June 5 - Baltimore, MD @ Ottobar
June 7 - Philadelphia, PA @ Silk City
June 8 - Newark, NJ @ QXTs
June 9 - Brooklyn, NY @ Saint Vitus

Trace Amount is the solo project of vocalist, producer, drummer, and visual artist, Brandon Gallagher. First conceived in 2019, Trace Amount took shape during the early stages of the pandemic, inspired by the grim realities of life in New York City at that time, and has evolved at a lightning pace ever since. The sound is a harsh strain of industrial music, evoking apocalyptic dread through primal rhythms, layers of synth and noise, and Gallagher's distorted moans and screams.

Debut full-length album Anti Body Language was co-produced by Fade Kainer (Statiqbloom) and mixed by Ben Greenberg (Uniform) and features a guest vocal by darkwave diva KANGA. The album was released April 15th via Federal Prisoner, the label founded by Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan) and visual artist Jesse Draxler (whose work adorns the cover of the album).

Revolver Magazine states: "Glitchy vocals, pounding drums, screechy noise soundscapes and a pummeling atmosphere... If you're a fan of bands like HEALTH and Author & Punisher, and/or modern noise-core artists like Dreamcrusher and Machine Girl, then Trace Amount is right up your alley.”

BrooklynVegan refers to Trace Amount as "the exact middle ground between 'The Downward Spiral' and the death industrial/power electronics scene, this album might be it."

Acclaimed proponents of the original "witch house" scene, White Ring released their newest album, Show Me Heaven, in 2021 This will be the band's first run of extended dates supporting the release, and some of their first shows back in the Northeast since 2019.

The solo project of Lynette Cerezo, Bestial Mouths explores influences across the spectrum of goth, industrial, post-punk, new wave, noise, metal, and beyond. New single "I Am The Spell," off the upcoming album R.O.T.T. [inmyskinn], is now streaming.
