Slægt announce new album ‘Goddess’

SLÆGT have announced a new album!

Titled Goddess, the upcoming album from the Danish blackened heavy metal band is their fourth full-length album and is scheduled to be released in March this year, making their label debut at new home Century Media Records.

The album artwork was created by Dávid Glomba (SVARTIDAUDI, CULT OF FIRE, MALOKARPATAN) and was recorded and mixed by Martin ‘Konie’ Ehrencrona (REFUSED, IN SOLITUDE, VIAGRA BOYS, TRIBULATION) at Studio Cobra as well as mastered by Magnus Lindberg (THE HELLACOPTERS, CULT OF LUNA, DOOL) at Redmount Studios, both in Stockholm, Sweden in late 2021.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “we are extremely excited and proud to be able to announce our new full-length album Goddess! Consisting of six tracks with a total run-time of 40 minutes this is without a doubt our most accomplished work to date. We have been more detailed and thorough than ever in regards to composition, lyrics, and production while still maintaining darkness and high energy in the execution. We have been as experimental as ever and have tried to push ourselves and our music to the limit in every single way regarding the creation of this album. Words cannot describe how much we are looking forward to sharing this collection of songs with all our listeners.

For the recording of Goddess we joined forces with legendary mastermind-producer Martin “Konie” Ehrencrona and travelled to Stockholm to record every single sound appearing on the record in Studio Cobra. It took ten intense days of non-stop work, far away from home, to create Goddess and we are very satisfied with the result. The artwork of the album has been created by the illustrious Dávid Glomba. We were super excited when Dávid responded to our wish for him to work with us and we think that he has done an absolutely outstanding job to fulfil our visual ideas and concepts for this release. We have admired his work for a long time, so it brings us much pleasure to know, that he has also worked with us now. Goddess will be unleashed through Century Media on March the 18th, 2022. Get ready!”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Fealty, Thunder Whip.
