Loviatar announce new album ‘Lightless’
LOVIATAR have announced a new album!
Titled Lightless, the upcoming album from the Canadian doom metal band is the follow-up to 2017’s self-titled debut and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Prosthetic Records.
The upcoming album was recorded by their bass player, Mike Bond at Wolf Lake Studios – the recording facility he co-owns with drummer, JP – in the forest of Lac-des-Loups, Quebec. The band had the space to experiment and reshape as they went. With no time constraints or outside pressures, the pieces fell into place at their own pace. Mixing and mastering was also handled by Mike to put the finishing touches to the album.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; titled Cave In.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Cave In presents the frenetic anxiety that accompanies one’s complete loss of belief. Inspired in part by Emile Zola‘s Germinal, the track is meant to bridge the claustrophobia of existential dread with the liberating certainty of emptiness and meaninglessness of time. As the sole fast-paced track on Lightless, Cave In channels classic HIGH ON FIRE and THE SWORD while retaining our focus on melding doom with ambience.”
