ISCHEMIC - Announces New Album With The Release Of Haunting Title Track

Canadian death/doom metal act Ischemic is thrilled to announce the release of its new single, the title track from its upcoming album, Condemned To The Breaking Wheel. This latest offering gives fans a first taste of what to expect from their highly anticipated full-length due on 5 April. This release is a testament to the band's relentless drive to crush and cleave asunder while simultaneously draining their victims of all hope.

In the shadowy catacombs of Toronto in 2012, Ischemic was formed by vocalist Isabelle T and guitarist Adam K. Their mission was clear: to end the drought of local death/doom bands and to offer something uniquely grim and heavy. Influenced by the vile ferocity of death/doom acts such as Hooded Menace, Autopsy, and Asphyx, and blending it with the melodic gloom of Agalloch and Paradise Lost, Ischemic also drew upon the sonic girth of modern doom acts like Ahab, Conan, and Thou. The result is a sound that is capable of crushing skulls, breaking hearts, and trampling crypts.

Ischemic's live performances have been a vital part of its identity, sharing stages with bands such as Woe, Blizaro, Archspire, Wilt, Beyond Creation, Blood Of Christ, and Iskra.

The discography of Ischemic showcases a journey through evolving sounds and themes. Starting with Frigid Descent (EP, 2013), the band made its mark with a blend of crushing doom and melancholic undertones. It was followed by All Paths Lead Nowhere (EP, 2016), which explored darker, more chaotic territories of black and black/doom metal. Stagnation And Woe (LP, 2018) saw the band refining its sound into a cleaner, more focused direction. Then came Ischemic (LP, 2021), which marked a shift towards a more primitive dirge, receiving acclaim for its visceral and pummeling force.

As Condemned To The Breaking Wheel is set to be unveiled, Ischemic is ready to unleash a new chapter in its musical saga. This album not only represents the culmination of years of musical evolution and experimentation but also reaffirms the band's commitment to creating deeply affecting and bleakly atmospheric music. With its release, Ischemic is about to, once again, captivate and engage fans old and new, proving its enduring relevance and innovation within the death/doom genre.
