Surma announce debut album ‘The Light Within’

SURMA have announced their debut album!

Titled The Light Within, the upcoming album from the Czech symphonic metal band is their debut full-length album and is scheduled to be released in November, via Metal Blade Records.

Teaming up with guitarist/vocalist Heri Joensen of TÝR, the band began in 2018 and spent most of 2019 writing, arranging and recording the music that would comprise their debut. Vocalist Viktorie Surmøvá and Joensen produced the record themselves in the guitarist’s home studio with the drums tracked in Moscow. Speaking about the upcoming album, Viktorie Surmøvá says, “I believe we can make something good in this world, and we can help people through hard times and inspire them to have hope in the future, and generally inspire a better mood and a better feeling in those who listen to our music.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; Reveal The Light Within.
