Spanish dark heavy metal four-piece Dark Embrace has released their brand new studio offering, Land Of Witches, which is out now on Massacre Records. In support of the record release, the band has shared a music video for the captivating track "The Dark Land."
The band comments: "It's a song about our motherland Galicia and how beautiful it is, with her myths and legends, with her mountains and seas, with her cold and rain... which gives life to everything."
Land Of Witches marks a bold and creative step forward in Dark Embrace's career. The album features the powerful magick of the black arts, evoked by the disturbed minds of Oscar Rilo, Mou Trashno, Markos Villar and Julio G. Valladares. Among the dark arts used for the album are demon invocations by different kinds of chants, high noises by creepy distortions, low frequencies by dead heartbeats and Pagan rhythms from hellish beating skins. The implemented work on this album shows a more complex and stronger band and even oversizes the dark essence of their style in a more mature way.
