The new album "The Great Adjudication" from CLARET ASH (Atmospheric / Progressive Black Metal, Australia) will be a CD digipack release by Casus Belli Musica and Beverina in April 2018.

The band's vocalist, James Edmeades, says about the album: "The thought provoking concept of humanity's interactions with nature told in "The Cleansing" has continued with this album. Themes and imagery have expanded as new stories were developed to lead listeners on a journey to "The Great Adjudication", the retaliation and judgement of the natural world of our trespasses against it."

Moreover, the album will be split and limited vinyl editions "The Great Adjudication: Fragment One" and "The Great Adjudication: Fragment Two" will be issued in March and September 2018.

CLARET ASH are a progressive black metal band based in Canberra, Australia. While citing black/extreme metal acts such as Wolves in the Throne Room, Ulver and Enslaved as major influences, CLARET ASH have incorporated blackened-death elements, reminiscent of late Behemoth, Dark Fortress, and The Great Old Ones.

CLARET ASH focus on bringing to life the violence and intensity of change, of the shifting seasons, and of the turmoil of human emotion. This is reflected in the aggressive musicianship that showcases faster, more extreme drumming, a more brutal, dissonant guitar sound and a truly haunting and unique vocal range.

The new "The Great Adjudication: Fragment One" containing the first half of the album, is available for streaming on the band's Bandcamp
