Sabbath Assembly Ye Are Gods

Sabbath Assembly returns with their second album, Ye Are Gods, set for release on September 21 through Svart Records.

As on the critically acclaimed Restored to One debut, Ye Are Gods presents the hymns of the Process Church of the Final Judgment, a religious movement that emerged in the late 1960s as an apocalyptic shadow-side to the flower power and New Age movements.

Reaching beyond the scope of Restored to One, Ye Are Gods incorporates the ritual text and structure of the Process Church's highest and holiest mass, the "Sabbath Assembly" liturgy from which the band is named.

Ye Are Gods is led by vocalist Jamie Myers, a veteran of Hammers of Misfortune (The Locust Years) and Wolves in the Throne Room (Diadem of 12 Stars, Malevolent Grain).Dave "Christian" Nuss remains drummer and co-producer.

The album features Genesis P-Orridge serving the role of High Priest(ess), aka "Sacrifist," Eyvind Kang plays viola for the liturgical "Declaration of the Gods," and guitarist/vocalist Imaad Wasif offers a chilling rendition of the hymn "We Give Our Lives." In addition, Timothy Wyllie, an original Process Church member, provides a homily from Process Church founder Robert DeGrimston's Gods on War.

Mr. Wyllie is the author of Feral House's LOVE SEX FEAR DEATH, which offers an insider's perspective of the Church and its true leadership.

The album offers a first-ever glimpse into the Process's most sacred liturgical text, taking the astute listener through the mysterious Gnostic journey of the unification of Christ and Satan; the bliss of total submission to the gods Jehovah, Lucifer, Satan, and Christ; the wilds of the Apocalypse and a face-to-face encounter with the Angel of Death; and finally the moment of spiritual renewal in which the Process's "Law of the Universe" is revealed.
