Ebonivory announce new album ‘The Long Dream I’
EBONIVORY have announced a new album!
Titled The Long Dream I, the upcoming album from the Aussie progressive metallers is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Wild Thing Records.
The upcoming album is the first of a two-part concept album, delivering a vision that is pure and unrestrained by musical conformity, often leaving the listener nostalgic, enraged, and paralysed within the span of seconds. Entirely self-produced, mastered by Forrester Savell [KARNIVOOL], and led by singer Charlie Powlett’s emotionally powerful delivery, every song presents a completely unique reimagining of what progressive music is capable of.
Speaking about the upcoming album, Powlett says, “we are absolutely beaming with excitement knowing that the first instalment of our upcoming two-part album, The Long Dream will finally see the light of day on the 5th of June. Entirely self-produced over the course of four years, The Long Dream became infused with self-referential hardship and internal disaster that only further serves its story. Every song presents a completely unique reimagining of what progressive music is capable of, while maintaining cohesive melodic bonds like a sequence of dreams that makes perfect sense, but only until you commit it to words. It is a twisting journey that weaves through depression and elation; past, present, and future. This album is the cornerstone of EBONIVORY. It encompasses everything we are passionate about as a band, and represents our leap of faith into the raging storm that is the modern music industry.”

Several weeks ago, when we reported of the release of the band’s new music video for Explosions After Dark (which will appear on the upcoming album), we reported that the band would be heading to the US with CALIGULA’S HORSE. This tour has now been postponed until 2021 as the result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement regarding the postponement of the tour, the band says, “on a bittersweet note; our North American tour with CALIGULA’S HORSE has been postponed to January of 2021, due to the global COVID-19 crisis. Every sector of our industry is fundamentally affected, but in a time where new music is becoming crucial for morale, we’ve decided to push on with releasing this album, despite the immediate inability to perform in-person shows to support it. We’d like to sincerely thank everyone that has supported EBONIVORY thus far, and want our fans to know that we are monitoring the situation very carefully in order to organise shows at the soonest dates, without putting anyone at risk. We are still extremely excited to have the opportunity to share our music with the world!”
The Long Dream I is set for release on June 5th via Wild Thing Records.
