Atramentus release new ‘Stygian’ audio excerpt

ATRAMENTUS have released a new audio excerpt from their upcoming debut album!

The audio excerpt, clocking in at four minutes and one second, gives listeners a new insight into Québec-based funeral doom band’s upcoming debut album, Stygian, which is scheduled to be released in August.

The upcoming album was recorded, engineered re-amped, and mixed by Xavier Berthiaume at Studio Tehom in Montreal, mastered by Greg Chandler [ESOTERIC, LYCHGATE] at Priory Recording Studios in Birmingham, and is completed with artwork by Mariusz Lewandowski [ATLANTEAN KODEX, BELL WITCH, MIZMOR] and layout by Chimere Noire.

Each of the three epic songs contained within differ widely to reflect the changing of autumn to perpetual winter. While adorned in the language of extreme funeral doom and dark ambient soundscape, ATRAMENTUS owe further debt to epic doom metal in sound and aesthetic and black metal’s anguished ferocity, but always the arc of the band remains bound to the tumultuous melancholy and guttural immensity of extreme doom.

Stygian is set for release on August 21st via 20 Buck Spin. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
