YATRA - Presents New Single From Upcoming Debut Album

Maryland (USA) based doom trio Yatra presents "Smoke Is Rising", the latest single from their impending debut album, Death Ritual. As the album approaches its early January 2019 street date through Grimoire Records, "Smoke Is Rising" can be heard in the player below.
Yatra's sound is a journey into mountainous sounds, transcending into the deep forests of primeval times. Born from the ashes of Blood Raven, the new three-piece emerged in 2017 as frontman Dana Helmuth's new vehicle to embrace the darkness and doom. Confident in Maria Geisbert and Mike Tull as his new rhythm section, Helmuth's inspiration was fueled exponentially. Yatra's full-length debut, Death Ritual was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Grimoire Records' Noel Mueller in August of 2018. The artwork features four mixed-media pieces by Aki Pitkänen, layout by Mueller, and the hand-drawn logotype by Helmuth. More album details were posted over HERE.
With the new song premiere, Helmuth notes: ""Smoke Is Rising"... at the time I wrote this there were a lot of really dark and heavy things going on in my life. I really felt like the lyrics I wrote 'marching dead under crimson skies, rivers they rise up and swallow me' ... so I began to realize that I needed to put everything I had left into this burning sacrifice of Yatra, and I believed smoke would rise from this, and that kingdoms would fall."
