USNEA - Shares Track From New Album

Portland (USA) based doom quartet Usnea has unveiled "Eidolons And The Increate" off their impending Portals Into Futility full-length. Portals Into Futility is due out on 8th September via Relapse Records.
The band commented about the track: ""Eidolons And The Increate" ebbs from a murkiness in the future where humanity has fallen from a technological grace, the sun is dying, and callous brutality is the way of the land. Mirroring the dark psychedelia of its source of inspiration - Gene Wolfe's Shadow Of The Torturer - it is a meditation on the self-destructive conceits of humanity."
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 delves 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. Link
