The avant-garde doom trio from Portland, Oregon (USA), Eight Bells, who have recently signed with Prophecy Productions, are now revealing the volcanic video single "Nadir", taken from their forthcoming new album Legacy Of Ruin, which is slated for release on the 25th of February 2022. The project conceived by guitarist and singer Melynda Jackson has also unveiled cover art, tracklist, and further details of their new full-length below.
"Our first single, "Nadir" is the newest song that was written right before the recording sessions", writes singer and guitarist Melynda Jackson. "It is inspired by the ugly part of human nature and tendency to devour everything until it is gone. There is grief in understanding that 'right now' is all we have."
On further news, Eight Bells will reissue their first two albums The Captain's Daughter (2013) and Landless (2016) parallel to the release of Legacy Of Ruin. Both full-length recordings will be joined together under the title Histories 2010 - 2016 as double-CD and triple vinyl editions that will also contain the bonus track "Purgatory" and five demo versions.
With their third album, Portland metal experimentalists Eight Bells have sharpened their songwriting approach to creating a soundtrack for the end of the world. Legacy Of Ruin again features the trio's trademark haunting vocal harmonies along with sometimes blistering, and sometimes impressionistic guitar riffing to create heady atmospheres of dark and light.
The result of Eight Bells' musical exploration is an emotional and insistent odyssey that transcends genre and imbues contemporary metal with 19th-century Victorian ghostliness, cinematic soundscapes in combination with female and male vocal harmonies perfectly fitting the album's lyrical story. Legacy Of Ruin focuses on themes of the human condition, natural destruction, death, regret, loss, malice, and retribution. Link
