California (USA) based duo Ashen Horde, a band that strives to embrace a multitude of extreme metal sub-genres, without being bound to any one of them has premiered online a new track named "Parity Lost". The track is taken from their upcoming album, Fallen Cathedrals, which will be out on 22nd March via Extreme Metal Music.,
Ashen Horde are drawing influence from metal’s crème de le extreme, from Enslaved and Devin Townsend to Ihsahn and Opeth. Completing their third full length, Fallen Cathedrals, the concept album is in the vein of J.G. Ballard’s dystopian novel “High Rise”, and explores class warfare and a society’s descent into primitive, warring tribes. Musically, the album expands further on the complexities of the band’s earlier releases, but with even more emphasis on progressive and melodic elements, even incorporating clean vocals for the first time. It will appeal to fans of the more progressive side of extreme metal, from Ihsahn and Borknagar to Opeth and Enslaved.

It contains elements of black metal, death metal, and prog, all stitched together in a ball of controlled chaos. Lyrically, it lays the groundwork for the album’s story - a city divided by wealth, with the most affluent on one side, and those struggling to make ends meet on the other. The rich look at the poor as a lazy and low class, while the poor look at the rich as snobby and self-indulgent. Tensions have intensified with each passing year, and the precarious balance is about to be shattered…" Link
