Seven years following the release of their last full-length album "The Valley Path" (2011, Neurot Recordings), American pastoral psychedelic congregation U.S. CHRISTMAS return with a newly remastered version of their awe-inspiring debut studio offering "Prayer Meeting".
Echoes and Dust and Metalitalia are streaming the new revamped edition of the record, now available via Hypershape Records.

"Prayer Meeting" finally has been rediscovered,
professionally remastered, and found its home in a ltd series of
handmade and firebranded wooden boxes at Hypershape Records.
Each box will be strictly unique and different from the previous one

visuals reboot at HPS headquarter. Honest and sincere record, it
represents how the USX path started back in the days.
U.S. CHRISTMAS, active since 2002, has released 3 full length albums on Neurot Recordings, has performed across Europe and Nate himself performed at Roadburn Festival, they toured extensively US in the past and collaborated with musicians like Scott Kelly of Neurosis, Brett Netson of Caustic Resin and later Earth, Mike Scheidt of Yob...
