2007 will prove to be the year of Southern Illinois' own An Escape To Retreat. Overcoming a career threatening house fire in the Winter of 2005 to a more recent turn of events this past Winter, the loss of their founding guitarist, Tristan Rippelmeyer. Perseverance has proved to be the key as AETR has risen far beyond expections and continued to pursue greatness. The months follwing Tristan's depature, AETR's remaining members: Richard Ducksworth, Joel Hinrichs, Lee Hogendobler, and Justin Unterseh worked extensively to hone in on their collective style and write completely new music. After a lot of hard work AETR is back with even more vengeance and a lot more to show for. Fall 2007 marks the release of AETR's debut five song EP entitled: "The Rebirth". The title speaks for itself. This is a new begining. This is the unexpected. This is the new An Escape To Retreat. So as always, strap yourself in and enjoy the metal.
