Following the acclaimed debut album “Life of a Purist”, Danish black metal solo project Udånde has announced to release its sophomore full length studio album, entitled “Slow Death – A Celebration of Self-Hatred”, on December 2nd, 2022, via Vendetta Records. Founded and led by Rasmus Ejlersen, who now lives in Bratislava, Slovakia, “Slow Death – A Celebration of Self-Hatred” offers six deeply connected songs, packed with the band’s bleak and mesmerizing black metal atmosphere.
Thematically, this album is the personal journey of Rasmus Ejlersen, “a timeline (2009 – 2022) of private, profound experiences with anxiety attacks, depression and anti-depressant medication”.
“Each song depicts specific time periods of my existence from which were significant for my previous internal struggles”, Rasmus comments.
“Slow Death – A Celebration of Self-Hatred” was mixed and mastered by Patrick McDowall (Spectral Wound) in Montreal, Canada, and with the lyric video for “I’m Not a Pessimist, I’m a Realist” Udånde has just released the first single as well as the album opening track. Check it out below.
