Izthmi announce new album ‘Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind’

IZTHMI have announced a new album!

Titled Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind, the upcoming album from the Seattle, Washington-based progressive black metal is the follow-up to 2020’s debut, The Arrows of Our Ways, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Satanik Royalty Records.

The upcoming album’s eight tracks were captured by renowned producer/engineer Billy Anderson at the Hallowed Halls, mixed by Anderson at Everything Hz, mastered by Justin Weis, and comes cloaked in the mystical artwork of Andrzej Masianis.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; The Shadows of Our Disillusionment. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “after the writing and recording of our last LP, we had a desire and vision of a more dense, visceral, and progressive direction. We felt as though this song is a great showcase of all of the different directions that we take on this album. The song explores themes on how the unrelenting quest for personal gain leaves us out of touch and perpetually dissatisfied.”
