Bismuth announce new single ‘In Tenbrix Lux’

BISMUTH have announced a special single!

Titled In Tenbrix Lux, the new single from the heavy-slow duo is a special one-off track and will be released this coming Friday (July 3rd).

The song was commissioned by Burning Wheel to accompany the Kickstarter campaign they ran for their new game Torchbearer, and also features contributions from VILE CREATURE. The track will be released via Bandcamp this Friday, when the music platform will waive their fees; proceeds will go towards Black Lives Matter charities and The Forest Carbon Project, which aims to plant new trees and restore peatlands so increasing the carbon storage capacity in the UK.

Vocals for In Tenebris Lux were recorded by Vic, KW, (both VILE CREATURE) and Tanya. Recording was handled by KW and Tanya, with bass, drum programming, synths, mixing, mastering all also taken care of by Tanya. The single’s artwork was created by Arik Roper [SLEEP, EARTH, SUNN].

Speaking of the new single, BISMUTH‘s Tanya Byrne comments, “although I didn’t have access to amps, we saw it as a challenge to see if we could record a track completely by ourselves. The outcome was In Tenebris Lux. Roughly translated, it means ‘There is always light in the dark’. This phrase is important to remember in these dark times.”

This evening, the band will perform live as part of a series of events hosted by Hotel-Radio.com; they’ll play a double header with fellow UK band KUROKUMA, broadcast live from The Black Heart venue in London. More information can be found here.
