Swedish symphonic black metal band Katharos will release the second full-length, Of Lineages Long Forgotten, on 13 May on CD, vinyl, and digital formats via Willowtip Records. Katharos exalts the Scandinavian black/death sound with killer riffs, epic symphonic arrangements and crushing drums in the vein of Emperor and Dimmu Borgir. The album's first single, "The World Serpent's Marrow," was unleashed last Friday and it's available below.

Katharos' sophomore album Of Lineages Long Forgotten offers a fresh take on the symphonic black metal genre with complex yet unrelenting arrangements recorded in the legendary Necromorbus Studio (Mayhem, Watain et al.). The album rewards multiple listens without compromising energy or flow. It is an album that easily flows from epic majestic pieces to blasting infernos. It will draw the listener in with harmony and then deep dive into intriguing dissonance.

The band sums it up most succinctly in stating: "We are very proud of the album, and this recording sets the music in its right aural space." Link
