UK atmospheric black metallers Nemorous have shared the first track, "Quiescence", from their upcoming debut full-length, What Remains When Hope Has Failed.

Four years after their self-titled EP, the band has finally returned with a six-track atmospheric black metal experience titled What Remains When Hope Has Failed. Bindrune Records will release the album on 19 December on CD, vinyl and digitally.

Formed from the ashes of Wodensthrone, Nemorous proudly carry the torch of atmospheric English black influenced metal, though the vision is far more expansive and eclectic. With their debut self-titled EP, they have proven that the twisting melodies and fog-like aura they create with their sound indeed harkens back to their past musical conquests - yet progression is a core tenet as it walks hand in hand with rich melodies and a fierce sense of aggressive tradition.

What Remains When Hope Has Failed is four years in the making and finds the band emerging victorious from a line-up change, where Chris Walsh (vocals/guitars) was replaced by Nick Craggs (vocals - Vacivus/Neolithic) and Rob Hindmarsh on second guitar. Now as sextet, the band dove into the music for their first full-length reinvigorated, and it shows in the album's composition.

What Remains When Hope Has Failed is a dynamic and emotional journey where quiet musical passages draw the listener in with vulnerability and beautiful, clean guitar arrangements reminiscent of Fields Of The Nephilim at their most post-apocalyptic, only to build with reflective, melancholic mids, before exploding with blasting ferocity. From subtle yet expansive synth textures and complex drum work that never loses grasp on a powerful feel/swing, it all strengthens the overall impact of this album with colourful dynamics and a songwriting characteristic which can be traced back to the early days of Wodensthrone.
