Portland (USA) based doom quartet Usnea will release their third full-lenght entitled Portals Into Futility on 8th September via Relapse Records. Inspired by dystopian science-fiction and the painful intersection of today's crushing reality, Portals Into Futility offers five songs and fifty-six minutes of expertly crafted and elegantly depressive doom/sludge. With an evolved sound of strength and dynamism, Usnea delve more into the worlds of dissonant death metal, varied vocal structures, and cinematic composition, all while maintaining the monumental heaviness, brutality, discord, anger, and mournful melodicism of their previous work. Across dark and brooding peaks and valleys, Usnea reminds us that no matter how many doors are opened to the human species, our self-aggrandizement and hubris all lead to futility.
The band made available for streaming a new track named "Lathe Of Heaven" and you can hear it in the player below. Comments the band of the track: ""Lathe Of Heaven" was inspired by the eponymous book by Ursula K. Le Guin. It is a meditation on the blurred line between cognitive reality and delusion wherein the protagonist can change reality through dreaming. A well-intentioned psychologist attempts to corral that power but ends up creating more chaos and suffering. In the end, human arrogance and greed are shown to be the leading contributors to our own doom." Link
