A lethal gas has been vacuum sealed in a canister, labeled ROOKWOOD, shelved by its creator and stored in the darkest depths of ones concealed sanctum some eight years ago. Regardless of weather it was the intention to let it lay idle, or unleash it in years to come, now has been deemed the most appropriate time to dispel its noxious fumes.
Remaining suspended and somewhat forgotten years beforehand, Obsidian Records were pointed in the RookWood direction via their MySpace by Arzarkhel of Astriaal infamy, where three tracks lay comatosed and collecting dust. These tracks are now recognized upon their recently released and very limited pressing of White Knuckle Terror demo. Obsidian Records interest provided the catalyst of motivation to stretch deep within the Murky depths of RookWoods conspirator, Bakouls, vault and unscrew the lid of the canister in 2007. Exercised - Like a black hooded infantry mounted on rampant beasts, engaging in war, thirsting pillaging amongst the sheep with the cries of Black Destroyer now echoing amongst a fiery abyss of scattered, torn and disillusioned pilgrims.
RookWood was initially conceived in 1997 by Bakoul as a solo project. Three tracks were written from 1997-2000. From that point, their were no agendas marked out to release the three track demo, White Knuckle Terror, nor were any plans conspired to play live, or write new material. It was literally forgotten about. When it is said the initial tracks were vacuum sealed, it is literally no word of a lie, as they still sound as fresh today. The further five tracks written in the last two yeas only add to the darker shadings around this already contorted sketch.
The Organs of Liberation begin to breathe new life into RookWood, April 2008 and RookWood picks up from where it left off. This time around thou a live unit has been mustered; where its first Live ritual shall be executed at Obsidian Records annual ANZAC DAY Festival, Apr 25th, Rosies Live, Brisbane. This will serve not only as their first live show, but also as their album launch show for You Worship Shit. Eight tracks of baneful, caustic, fast paced black/thrashnroll, rarely seen administered amongst these baron Austral lands. Amplified strings which pierce skin like the explosion of a glass bomb, injecting deep seated, irrevocable splinters at a furious pace for the full 33 minutes. Shrieking harsh vocals, vomiting the force feed bullshit we are directed to consume, launching a scathing attack on mainly Western Societys infrastructure and the disgusting inhabitants that have the overwhelming tendency to be mislead by what only they are told, not what is their to be found. Battle skins are torched with a combination of old and newer elements of Blackened Metal. Frenetic blasting accompanied by apocalyptic cymbal crashes signifying the manner of RookWood's mission of detest upon every stroke.
Its 33 minutes have passed. So what do you choose? To be a worthless subject of habitual obedience or do you unite with those of free mind constructing the demise of something that can be Overthrone. Either way, You Worship Shit!
