Montreal, Québec based black metallers Spectral Wound have announced their upcoming new studio album “Songs of Blood and Mire”, slated to be released on August 23rd, 2024, via Profound Lore.
With the track “Aristocratic Suicidal Black Metal”, Spectral Wound have unleashed the first single today. Listen to the track below.
Spectral Wound play black metal. Furious and visceral, untrammelled by esoteric posture or grasping idealism. It is music for the poisoned, the futile, the debauched and profane. The blooming of a flower of corruption, torn by cold winds.
Following the raw early offering of “Terra Nullius” (Arcane Angels/Out of Season 2015) Spectral Wound continued their path of creeping, opulent decay and searing melody, weaving strands of Métal noir Québécois with the weft of the Scandinavian canon. Refining its sound over “Infernal Decadence” (Vendetta, 2018) and the towering, exultant melancholy of “A Diabolic Thirst” (Profound Lore, 2021), with “Songs of Blood and Mire” (Profound Lore 2024) the band delivers an elegy of the void, seething with the venom and clamour of an ever-emptying world.
“Songs of Blood and Mire” was recorded and mixed by Patrick McDowall (Guitarist in Spectral Wound) at his studio Black Gate and mastered by James Plotkin. The album will be coming out on August 23rd, 2024, via Profound Lore Records and is now available for pre-order here.
