Bridging the gap between their Earth Will Shed Its Skin, released in April via M-Theory Audio, and their impending fifth full-length, the USA-based post-black metallers Chrome Waves issue the first of several one-off singles with "Father, I Wait". The current lineup unites founding member Jeff Wilson (Deeper Graves, Altars Of The Moon, ex-Nachtmystium) on guitar/synth, Zion Meagher (Anti-Human Thesis, ex-Nachtmystium) on bass, James Benson (Amiensus, Comatose) handling vocals/synth, and Alan Cassidy (The Black Dhalia Murder) on drums. The song was recorded by the band, mixed/mastered by guitarist Jeff Wilson, and completed with artwork by Rio Oka and layout by Wilson.
With the single, Wilson writes: "After putting out at least an album's worth of material annually over the last few years, we're looking to change things up going into 2024. We'll be focusing on singles and getting back to the live stage for most of the year, delaying another LP to 2025. 'Father, I Wait' is the first in that series of songs. It's embracing the cold, mechanical, Blut Aus Nord/Mysticum vibe and having a machine-like Alan Cassidy on the drums for this one only adds to the precise, clinical approach we were going for".
Chrome Waves has also booked a tour through the Midwest and Southern states. Running from 30 November through 17 December, the band will play alongside Chicago-based Black Cross Hotel.
