Cold In Berlin announce new album ‘Rituals of Surrender’

COLD IN BERLIN have announced a new album!

Titled Rituals of Surrender, the upcoming album from the Gothic doom metallers is scheduled to be released in October via the band’s new home at Heavy Psych Sounds.

Produced with gritty clarity and volume by Wayne Adams (GREEN LUNG – Woodland Rites) Rituals of Surrender opens with the grinding, hypnotic pulse of The Power and the apocalyptic rise of Dark Days, the record twists and turns as guitars crash, tempos warp and vocalist Maya stalks your thoughts with her mesmeric vocals. The rituals continue to build through Avalanche and Monsters, an edgy industrial throb and a sweeping prayer. Side A closes with Frantic a frenetic shard of fractured shellac. When the cut-and-thrust dies down, the album reveals the band at their most fragile. The haunting schadenfreude of Your Body//My Church is a beautiful, desperate love song nestled between the ceremonial Temples and the stoner trip of Shadowman. The album-closer Sacred Ground soars from a place of Lovecraftian foreboding towards an explosion of cinematic-doom.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; titled The Power.

Rituals of Surrender is set for release on October 11th via Heavy Psych Sounds.
