Above Aurora announce new album ‘The Shrine of Deterioration’

ABOVE AURORA have announced a new album!

Titled The Shrine of Deterioration, the upcoming album from the Polish black metal band is their second full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Pagan Records.

The material was recorded this winter at Left Hand Sounds, while Haldor Grunberg was responsible for the mix and mastering. The artwork and graphic design was done by Kontamination Design. The new album consists of six new compositions offering a hypnotic journey through various dimensions of pessimism.

The band, which hails from the Polish town of Poznań and currently resides in Reykjavik, Iceland, comments about the new album, The Shrine of Deterioration captures the current state of the band as mankind’s feeble condition continues to decline. Perhaps it is the essence of ABOVE AURORA – our disappointment and resignation, loathing and self-reflections, sonically more complex than the previous releases, yet continuing the same form.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; titled Barren Lore.
