Ante-Inferno announce new album ‘Death’s Soliloquy’
ANTE-INFERNO have announced a new album!
Titled Death’s Soliloquy, the upcoming album from the Scarborough-based black metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Antediluvian Dreamscapes, and 2020’s Fane, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Vendetta Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, lyricist Kai shares, “if there are two principal themes tying this album together, they are death – or rather, an inescapable fixation with death – and mental illness. I wanted to explore the last thoughts and visions of those about to meet their demise, however grisly, haunting or lonely that demise might be. In this way, Death speaks through the tortured imaginings of those it is about to take. We become subject to Death’s Soliloquy – or at least a portion of it – for that poem is as long as the ever-expanding universe is vast.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, ANTE-INFERNO have released a brand new song lifted from the upcoming album; The Cavernous Blackness Of Night.
Speaking about the new song, Kai says, “The Cavernous Blackness Of Night sums up the album’s themes perfectly. We are taken to the site of a suicide by hanging. A body swings from the bough of a tree, and we witness the very last thing that poor soul witnessed before they took their final, fatal step. We see the wind stirring the leaves of a willow, and causing the grass to bow. A thistle shakes solemnly. We see the final rays of the setting sun bleed across the darkening sky, and feel the warmth of those rays upon our skin before we, too, give ourselves up to that eternal darkness.”
