Teaming with producer Ola Ersfjord, who worked on Primordial's 2016 live album Gods To The Godless, the record was tracked at Dublin's Camelot Studios, located adjacent to their rehearsal room. The band already unveiled the first single, "Stolen Years", for which they made a video clip and you can watch it in the player below.
Once again building upon their signature sound, the follow up to 2014's Where Greater Men Have Fallen is a more raw, "old school sounding" record than its predecessor. Hitting home with what vocalist A.A. Nemtheanga describes as "a direct energy" and wielding an urgency that is undeniable, the Irish quintet once again effortlessly blend elements of tragedy and might like no one else. Likewise, the evolution in their sound continues to be organic and unforced, ensuring that Exile Amongst The Ruins is essential listening for both their long term faithful and those only now drawn into their world.
Commenting about the album's first single, "Stolen Years", A.A. Nemtheanga added: ""Stolen Years" may seem like a strange choice as our lead single, and on the face of if I guess it is. It's not a blood and thunder epic about tragedy and might and the ruin of nations, nor is it 9 minute epistle of doom. Have no fear, the album does contain those also but to open this time we chose something different. This album has some surprises and this is one of them, a short and painfully simple song which almost didn't make the final cut if you can believe so. The video, cut by Costin Chioreanu, is about the journey involved in finally getting to that moment where you walk on stage, the song itself about that last night on earth that comes to us all, sometimes we never know when that might be, hold your loved ones tight tonight, this could be it..."
