Deathwhite announce new album ‘Grey Everlasting’
DEATHWHITE have announced a new album!
Titled Grey Everlasting, the upcoming album from the enigmatic melodic death/doom metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Grave Image, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Season Of Mist.
The upcoming album was recorded during May and June 2021 at Cerebral Audio Productions with producer/engineer Shane Mayer. Vocals were again tracked at Erik Rutan’s [CANNIBAL CORPSE, HATE ETERNAL] Mana Recording under the guidance of engineer Art Paiz. Legendary Swedish producer and engineer Dan Swanö [BLOODBATH, EDGE OF SANITY, NIGHTINGALE] is responsible for the mastering, while French visual artist Jérôme Comentale reprised his role for the fourth consecutive DEATHWHITE release.
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “we have grown accustomed to putting our songs under a microscope, but this album demanded an even deeper examination of where we wanted to go. There was little interest in re-writing Grave Image; instead, we had to carve new paths and challenge ourselves musically. We were unafraid to try new things, so, accordingly, the creation process was occasionally arduous. However, it made the result something we are incredibly proud of. The album’s lyrics were assembled throughout the pandemic, events that also included strife on the political and human rights front. As disheartening as these events were, they were hardly a surprise. The human race has had more than enough time to figure out how to coexist properly, but still cannot get it right…and it never will.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Earthtomb. Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band adds, “it is our abundant pleasure to share the video for Earthtomb, the first single from Grey Everlasting. The immaculate Guilherme Henriques shot the clip in Aceredo, Spain and Porto, Portugal. Unfortunately, the song and video are a rather timely and direct reflection of the times we live when unchecked power, deception, gas-lighting and flat-out lies are used as tools to wreak havoc upon humanity and sow discord. Earthtomb was written as our observation – and inherent wish – that these individuals succumb to their misdeeds. What is happening in Ukraine at the moment has, for the members of DEATHWHITE, made this song more prescient than ever. Our hearts go out to those impacted by this utter tragedy.”
