Winterfylleth announce new album ‘The Hallowing of Heirdom’

WINTERFYLLETH have announced a brand new album!

The upcoming album, titled The Hallowing of Heirdom, is the sixth studio effort from the UK black metallers and will be an entirely acoustic affair. The album was recorded and mixed by Chris Fielding at Skyhammer Studio, and mastered by Markus Stock at Klangschmiede Studio E and speaking about the upcoming record, guitarist/vocalist Chris Naughton says, “the premise of the album being solely acoustic this time around really gave us the chance to explore our ability as songwriters in a very different way than we are used to. Throughout the writing process we found out that we could conjure the same mental imagery, emotions and feelings in the music as we always have done, but without the need for distorted guitars and harsh vocals.” Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first single; titled Elder Mother.
