Australian atmospheric blackened sludge metal collective, Hope Drone, emerges from the depths with their Relapse Records debut, Cloak Of Ash, set for release on 24th July. A rich, captivating, seven-song stroke of sonic brilliance, Cloak Of Ash was captured by Christopher Brownbill (Idylls, Throes, Coffin Birth) at Wavelength Studios and Underground Audio in Brisbane, Australia, mixed by Brownbill and Hope Drone at Wavelength Studios, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Yob, High On Fire, Integrity) at Audiosiege in Portland, Oregon (USA). Uniting chest-cavingly poignant atmospheres with the uncompromising heaviness of a thousand tidal waves, Cloak Of Ash is dynamic and textured; nihilistic, doomed and earth shattering cloaked in the hopeless dissonance of a world gone rotten. Fans of Altar Of Plagues, Vattnet Viskar, Wolves In The Throne Room, Woods Of Desolation and Cult Of Luna pay heed.
Hope Drone was forged in 2011 and have since released one demo, From Mimas To Phoebe, in 2012, and their self-titled, Sanford Parker-mixed LP in 2013. Cloak Of Ash will be available on CD, double LP and digitally via Relapse Records. Below you can give a listen to the first revealed track out of the new album - "Every End Is Fated In Its Beginning". Link
