The Infernal Sea announce new album ‘Hellfenlic’
THE INFERNAL SEA have announced a new album!
Titled Hellfenlic, the upcoming album from the British black metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Negotium Crucis, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via their new home at Candlelight Records.
Speaking about joining the Candlelight roster, the band says, “it is a great honour to join Candlelight Records, a label that we highly respect for not only their output, longevity, but also their commitment to supporting homegrown talent. The next chapter of our darkened path begins today.”
The upcoming album was engineered by James Burke at the Noise Cabin with mixing and mastering completed by Tom Dring at The Arch Recording Studio and cover art by Khaos Diktator Design. The album centres around the brutal persecution of men and women by the most infamous Witchfinder General, Matthew Hopkins who was most active throughout the East Anglian area. It tells of his obsession, his religious fervour, his brutality, and ultimately his downfall.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, THE INFERNAL SEA have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Bastard Of The East.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “this single delves deep inside the notion of how incredibly delusional Matthew Hopkins, the Witchfinder General was. He was a brutal, sadistic murderer, who strongly believed that he was carrying out God’s work. He extracted false confessions out of many fearful innocent women, during a time of great paranoia within the Church. He believed demons were rampant, causing mischief, fornicating and spreading blasphemy. It was the Witchfinders’ mission to protect the church and the people from these ‘lies’.”
