Canadian atmospheric post-black metal trio A Flock Named Murder is pleased to unveil its new, over 17-minute-long single, "To Drown In Obsidian Tides", from its impending full-length, Incendiary Sanctum, due on 2 May via Hypaethral Records.
The band's drummer/lyricist Cam Mueller on "To Drown In Obsidian Tides": "We became burnt offerings. The dunes at our feet are ash and the flood to take us is Stygian. Nothing is forgiven in this place and time itself is unravelling. Sorrow knows no end. There was no rapture. The faithful and unfaithful together beget this carnage. Some, much like you. Wrath alone, it seems, has kept us aloft. For how long? Why won't these desolate waters take us? If there is hope to be found here, it is a gruesome hope. As devastating as the fires within and without, that led us here. A clarion call to dissolution".
With Incendiary Sanctum, A Flock Named Murder pushes every element of its sound to its outermost limits. As diverse and sprawling as it is, the album is the band's most complete and uncompromising artistic statement to date - a bold exploration of extremity and emotion - crafted by a band unafraid to forge its own path.
Never confined by genre, A Flock Named Murder crafts an expansive and immersive sound by merging black metal, post-metal, doom, and death metal elements into a seamless whole. Whether leaning into crushing intensity or weaving hypnotic atmospheres, each song is a journey – meticulously crafted yet organic in flow, sprawling yet cohesive, drawing listeners into deep, evocative soundscapes.
