The UK atmospheric black metalETHEREAL SHROUDfinally comes back with a new release! The project mastermindJoe Hawkerhasannounced that the new album is calledTrisagionand it will see the light onDecember 10th!
Nearly seven years passed with near silence from Hawker as he slowly worked on the follow-up ofThey Became the Falling Ash(2015). Hawker deliberately approached this by wiping the slate clean and building the sound again from the ground up - employing the help of incredible musicians to assist in his vision of an album of much greater ambition. A record with a stern message ofanti-fascism,anti-indoctrination and complex personal struggles. After several years of intense writing and rehearsing, and 13 months of recording through COVID-19 lockdown,Trisagionwas born - a black metal record consisting of three challenging songs of unrelenting fury and intense emotion. So easily weaving between the death/doom and funeral doom passages ofMourning BelovethandBell Witchand the grandiose, massive black metal ofWolves in the Throne RoomandSummoning, this is a record only for those who are ready to dedicate themselves fully to its message.
