Winterfylleth announce new album ‘The Imperious Horizon’
WINTERFYLLETH have announced a new album!
Titled The Imperious Horizon, the upcoming album from the UK black metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s The Reckoning Dawn, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Candlelight Records.
The upcoming new album was recorded and produced once again by the legendary Chris Fielding [PRIMORDIAL, NAPALM DEATH, CONAN, ELECTRIC WIZARD, FEN] at Foel Studios in central Wales, while the post-production & mastering was overseen by Mark Mynett [MY DYING BRIDE, ROTTING CHRIST] at his Mynetaur Productions suite in Manchester, UK.
The upcoming album is the first album to feature guitarist and backing vocalist Russell Dobson as a writing member. Russell, who joined the group in 2020 and is also actively involved in the black metal band NECRONAUTICAL, stepped in following the departure of Dan Capp shortly after The Reckoning Dawn.
The album also features a remarkable guest vocal performance by AA Nemtheanga from PRIMORDIAL on the track In Silent Grace. Alan has had a longstanding connection with the band, and his various projects [PRIMORDIAL/DREAD SOVEREIGN] have shared the stage with WINTERFYLLETH on numerous occasions over the years.
Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist/vocalist C. Naughton says, “in some ways, the album is a reflection on the mania of the years since the last album, how the world has changed for the worse, and moreover how we all feel like we are living in a more divided and upheaved world ever since! The title speaks to a looming sense of some dominant power or agenda that is coming, just over the horizon. It’s on its way, and we don’t know quite how it will manifest, but we know that it is creeping ever forward, and it is inevitable.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, WINTERFYLLETH have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Dishonour Enthroned.
