Veilburner: a novembre il loro ottavo album; ascolta due estratti in anteprima

I Veilburner hanno annunciato i dettagli del loro ottavo album, intitolato “Longing for Triumph, Reeking of Tragedy”, in uscita il 14 novembre per Transcending Obscurity. La band statunitense ha inoltre reso disponibile lo streaming in anteprima di due brani estratti dal nuovo lavoro.

Just before the tumultuous year ends, avantgarde death/black metal band Veilburner will be dropping their new album that promises to be as good if not better as their highly acclaimed last few albums. If you’re fan, you already know what to expect but if you’re not, you’re in for a rather shocking, singular experience. We’ve already revealed a couple of songs from it which can be found on Bandcamp AT THIS LINK.

“Only a year after the release of their critically acclaimed “The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom” album, Veilburner are returning with their eighth full-length album, titled “Longing for Triumph, Reeking of Tragedy.”

In the spirit of striking while the iron is hot, this eighth evolution of the Veilburner story capitalizes on momentum while simultaneously achieving new heights in their song-crafting and story-telling. It leads their characters on a journey in which they cannot recognize triumph without tragedy, and sees them residing somewhere between the abyss and their devotion to mortal re-occurrence, that which seems to attract death. They face not just any death, but the kind in which they are bound to an infinite loop of reincarnation and destined to repeat the same traumas and failures as before. They continue to suffer like two dragons consuming one another in a serpentine-like fashion until one can no longer consume the other, frozen in the shape of infinity (∞) and numerologically represented by the digit eight (8). Samael (the “poison of god” and the eighth sphere of the Qlippoth), as well as Choronzon (the dweller of the threshold) and the Ouroboros all correlate with this symbol of infinity and exist in Veilburner’s lore as the antagonistic and immutable eternity, which if confronted can lead to self-destruction and the finality of manifestation, permenantly breaking the loop.

Mephisto’s discordant cacophony of dripping notes and riff-filled rot remain foul as ever, yet undeniably addictive. The music twists and turns on itself in an auditory embodiment of the album’s theme and takes the listener on a snaking, bending musical roller coaster that seemingly ends at the precipice of where it began, endlessly inviting another listen. Chrisom Infernium acts as a medium, casting shadows of hiss filled hymns that harken to the past call to the present channeling the chatter of choired cataclysms, creating doppelgängers of sonic dispersions which leave the listener to contemplate if they are willing to confront the thing they fear most, the true version of themselves.”
