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.

I've liked that cover since I first laid eyes on it. And seeing as you guys are one of my favorite underground bands, this is a must-buy for me.
