Trna announce new album ‘Istok’

TRNA have announced a new album!

Titled Istok, the upcoming album from the Russian blackgaze trio is their fourth full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in September this year, making their label debut at Candlelight Records.

The upcoming album was recorded at Dobrolet Studios in Saint Petersburg and, in part, in their rehearsal space, the band wanted Istok to meditate on the importance of nature, and in finding an inner peace from which to get a viewpoint on life and the world.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “what is Istok? Istok is the place where all begins, where you go when you feel that you can’t bear your everyday life. It’s the great nothingness where you find peace. It’s the salvation and relief. But to get there is a whole journey and it’s different for everyone. TRNA is always about nature. Of course we would like our music to speak for us and reading what people say about how they feel listening to it makes us believe that we manage to somehow get the message across.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a stunning new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Shining. The new song features a guest appearance from Portuguese black metal band GAEREA.
