The USA based progressive black metal band Izthmi will unleash Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind full-length on 4 March via Satanik Royalty Records. Only recently the band has revealed the album's artwork, tracklist and latest single, "The Shadows Of Our Disillusionment", available in the player below.
In the ever-changing landscape of society and the world at large, the Izthmi collective found themselves lost in a place that has become less and less recognizable. As defining truths, values, and foundations have become shaken, we find ourselves in a constant state of re-evaluation, suffering, and duress. As the world continues to change in ways that are both terrifying and inevitable, Izthmi seeks to move forward. Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind represents the mourning of the losses that we all have endured these last couple of years and a celebration of the victories and hopes of what is to come. As we leave this world behind, we look towards a better one.
Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind's eight tracks were captured by renowned producer/engineer Billy Anderson at the Hallowed Halls, mixed by Anderson at Everything Hz, mastered by Justin Weis, and comes cloaked in the mystical artwork of Andrzej Masianis.
In advance of the record's release, the band has unveiled its latest single, "The Shadows Of Our Disillusionment". "After the writing and recording of our last LP, we had a desire and vision of a more dense, visceral, and progressive direction. We felt as though this song is a great showcase of all of the different directions that we take on this album. The song explores themes on how the unrelenting quest for personal gain leaves us out of touch and perpetually dissatisfied", comments Izthmi.
In 2016, a shared passion for atmospheric black metal drove founding members Autumn Day and Nolan Head to begin writing music for the band that would eventually become Izthmi. As time went on, they eventually completed their lineup with Jakob Keizer, Brett Tomsett, and Gabe Kangas, forming the quintet that is the band today. The band's critically lauded debut full-length The Arrows Of Our Ways, explored the journey of self-realization through the confines of social struggle that many of us experience today. Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind looks towards a better tomorrow. Link
