Konvent announce new album ‘Puritan Masochism’

KONVENT have announced a new album!

Titled Puritan Masochism, the upcoming album from the Copenhagen-based death/doom metallers is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in January next year.

The upcoming album was recorded live in Lasse Ballade’s studio in Copenhagen over a period of two weeks. Speaking about the upcoming debut album, the band says, “our debut album, Puritan Masochism, is the result of two years of hard work. During the process of the songwriting, we were inspired musically by both death, black and doom metal, as we aimed to give this album a broader sound than our demo back in 2017. The lyrics are inspired by the fight of regaining control when surrounded by chaos of different forms, which everyone may be affected by at some point in your life.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming album; the title-track.

Speaking of the song, the band says, Puritan Masochism was the first song written for our debut album. It’s about how humans have the tendency of working against ourselves, negatively comparing ourselves to others and setting unattainable goals, sometimes without even realizing it.”
