Belgium's leading black metal force ENTHRONED returns with a new studio album entitled "Sovereigns". The follow up to the critically acclaimed "Obsidium" (2012) is scheduled for a April 15th release via Agonia Records worldwide. Cover artwork and track list can be viewed here.
"Sovereigns" drifts from sonic blast beats to oppressive slower parts, melds together aggressive shredding with forceful riffs, and blends satanic whispers with Nornagest's trademark vocals. On the whole, band's 10th album feels coherent and offers first-rate Black Metal. The album introduces a new drummer, Menthor, in the place of Garghuf and a new rhythm guitarist ZarZax.
"Sovereigns" was recorded and mixed in ENTHRONED’s own studio, Blackout Multimedia. The album will be available in: digipack CD, black vinyl, bone-white vinyl with green splatter limited to 100 hand numbered copies and exclusive BOX CD limited to 333 hand numbered copies (including: the new album released in exclusive jewelcase edition, embroidered patch (8cmx10cm), flag (42cmx59.4cm) and a lighter with band's logo).
