The fourth full length album from Ancient Mith is the shedding of a ten year journey making music in a modern reality and the luggage acquired along the way. Swiss beat maker, Mattr., provides the groundwork for this electro rap record that ventures outside the usual.
While waiting to find the ‘right’ producer for the concept of ‘And The Dead Shall Lie There’, Ancient Mith began writing to beats Mattr. had been sending in the years prior. Slowly as songs compiled he realized he had created what he set out to unintentionally. Instead of sending each song as it was done, Ancient opted to complete the project, mix it and then send it back to Mattr., for his sign off on the project.
The album was to be accepted as a whole or not at all, meaning no tracks would be cut or redone, if Mattr. didn’t like any part the album it was not to be released.

The album artwork was created by Musclebeaver and Moritz 'Bester Mann' Welker at Büro Musclebeaver in the cleanest city there is, Munich. All screen printing was done by captain Elmyr-One and Strizi the sailor with their dead cold hands in the HHH - Harry's Hazy Headquarters at Berlin, Treptow. Madame Tourette did the numbering, Minzi helped by developing a screen and Yarak helped with some dead cold hands as well.

This album is incredible, the beats fill the lyrics perfectly. I have seen them on live in Paris (L' International), it was really great! I love your work guys, and now I will have your vinyl ... so excited to play it.
Your most faithful fan ;) Sladh
