Post-Metal act Drownship has announced the release of the band’s debut album, entitled “Tidal Passages”, which has been slated for release on November 8th, 2024, via These Hands Melt.
Hailing from Hamburg, Germany, Drownship emerged onto the post-metal scene in 2018 as a quintet comprising talented members from esteemed bands like Ophis, Todtgelichter, and Caleya.
Their musical prowess and distinctive style quickly garnered attention, culminating in the successful release of their EP “A Dirge τo a Carrion Heart” in 2021 via Moment Of Collapse Records and Bloodblast Distribution, receiving acclaim from press and audiences alike.
Following electrifying live shows alongside acts like Thronehammer, Evoken, The Moth, and Ok Wait, Drownship ventured into the studio in February 2023 to craft their debut album, “Tidal Passages”. Working with producer David Deutsch from 1408 Productions and mastering expert Nikita Kamprad of Der Weg Einer Freiheit, the band ensured a sonically immersive journey for listeners. Complementing their musical prowess, the visually captivating artwork for both the EP and album was brought to life by Irrwisch Artdesign, providing a poignant visual narrative to accompany the band’s sound.
Offering a glimpse into the heart of the new album, Drownship shares:
“‘Tidal Passages’ puts its finger in the bleeding wound of our society. Lyrically, the album offers plenty of thought-provoking material, musically, we have found our style and are looking forward to to bringing the songs to the stage”!
“Tidal Passages” will be coming out November 8th, 2024, on Vinyl/CD/Digital via These Hands Melt, a first single and pre-orders will be available from the beginning of October!
