WINTERFYLLETH have announced a new album!

Titled The Reckoning Dawn, the upcoming album from the British black metallers is the follow-up to 2018’s acoustic/folk album, The Hallowing of Heirdom, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Candlelight Records.

The upcoming album was recorded and produced once again by the legendary Chris Fielding [PRIMORDIAL, NAPALM DEATH, CONAN, ELECTRIC WIZARD, FEN] at Foel Studios in Wales, The Reckoning Dawn shows the band at their strongest, and serves as a reminder to all that WINTERFYLLETH are as relevant now as they have ever been.

Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist/vocalist Chris Naughton says, “having spent the last two years in a very different creative space, touring our acoustic album, and bringing those shows to evocative, atmospheric and unique venues all over the UK and Europe, we are now pleased to announce our return to the realms of black metal with our new album, The Reckoning Dawn. The culmination of almost two years of writing and collective hard work, what we are presenting here is a visceral & emotive new WINTERFYLLETH album that we are all truly proud to put forth into the world.

We’ve taken the time over the last few years to craft and grow our sound into different musical areas, really wanting to contrast that on this album; taking what we had learned from those other experiences and distilling that into what we have created here. To me it feels like a mighty, passionate and essential album of songs that push the boundaries of what a WINTERFYLLETH metal album can be, but that also harkens back to our more traditional black metal sound in a more immediate way. Today we share the title track with you, but in the coming weeks and months look forward to sharing more with you, on record and on tour with our friends in MORK. We hope to see you on the road.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming record; the title track The Reckoning Dawn.
