New dark/gothic metal formation Inver has revealed the second track, "Tarnished Son", from its approaching debut album, On This Earth, set for release on 19 January.
Bringing together a wealth of experience and influences from the disparate musical worlds of extreme metal, alternative acoustic and traditional folk, Inver has created a musical identity rich in atmosphere, emotion and imagination. Coupled with a songwriting ethic that embraces and entwines artistry and integrity, dreamlike textures and honesty as raw as an open wound, this new creative collective has unveiled a unique and enthralling debut album, On This Earth.
On This Earth reaches into the soul of gothic metal and rock, grasping the essential darkness and emotional power that drives the genre and then adorns it with beguiling shades of synthwave, deep washes of shadow from a twilight palette that adds breathtaking depth, lighting winter fires in the heart and imagination of the listener. The intensity of emotion throughout the seven songs that form the cycle of On This Earth is punishing, the fall through its descending circles of gloom unforgiving, yet it possesses a stark beauty in its barren, starlit bleakness.
On This Earth is a freezing, heart-stopping embrace bringing a dark frost to the melancholy moments of the new year's birth. The chill bane of its sorrow will spread through the months to come, a poison distilled from grief crawling through the veins of the world, transforming it into a tableau of sombre statues. The time has come to face the reality of the end.
