Our newest album, which we were working on for a couple years and has been done for quite a while, looks like it's finally coming out sometime soon on the always supportive Regimental Records. So I figured we may as well finally share some of it with our friends and those who may be interested in it.

Here is a link to 4 streaming tracks and the cover art:

Some comments about this record:
- It is a labor of love, taking two years to write and record. It's broken into 11 tracks, but it's really an uninterrupted 44-minute long piece of melodic and dark death metal, based on The Hobbit, ripe with recurring musical motifs and themes.
- Cover art again by Alan Lathwell, who did the painting for "Broadsword" as well.
- Track 6 features guest vocals from Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquillity and they came out excellent.


If you're into death metal in the least, check it out. I think this album is far and away the best, most progressive/interesting, and yet also the most accessible stuff we've done. And clearly the nerdiest. Lots of guitar work and riffs reminiscent of Arghoslent and Eucharist.

Awesome! I got Broadsword and the split 7" last fall, both better than the debut which was great in its own right. Can't wait for this.

Glad I clicked the link. I'm not a fan of Death Metal in general, but those tracks kick some serious ass. :fingers

You guys are awesome. I'm sure the label appreciates it! I think it cost them a fortune to press this... The layout is awesome and like, a million pages long haha.

Thank you so much for your support!
